A Huge Upgrade – Record Sabre 250 Bandsaw

I bought the Record Sabre 250 bandsaw from Yandles and the whole process was excellent. Ordering was easy and delivery was quick.

I’ve owned a Titan bandsaw for years and, to be honest, I was never happy with it. I struggled to get straight cuts, the cutting height was limited, the blades wandered, and the fence was loose unless I made some fairly serious adjustments.

The new Sabre 250 did take a bit of time to set up, but the process was straightforward and far easier than setting up my previous saw. Everything felt well thought out and solid.

I’ve only carried out a few test cuts so far, but I can already tell this is a far superior machine. The cuts are clean and accurate, and the saw feels much more stable and precise. I’m really looking forward to using it for the many projects I have planned.

Shame about he neck

Purchased the mid weight smock for woodturning. Came in good time and the material and overall fit is excellent. The reason for dropping the fifth star is the neck Velcro is far to short. I purchased the 46” chest and there is no way I will be able to close the collar.

Blades work great very disappointed…

Blades work great very disappointed with the cost of postage as the blades could have gone in a envelope with a fists class stamp and would have got to me faster and cheaper

Thank you for your review — we’re pleased to hear the blades work great.
Regarding the postage cost, we’d like to clarify that this charge isn’t just for the postage itself. It covers postage and packaging, as well as the associated overheads involved in getting your order to you safely. This includes the packaging materials, staff time to pick and securely pack your order (we pay a fair wage & pension contributions), insurance to cover your parcel if your item went missing, there’s also handling and administration costs, including the collection cost itself, alongside many more unseen overheads. Unfortunately, it would not be cost-effective to simply put a stamp on an envelope to dispatch goods commercially. Although the cost of a first class, large letter stamp required actually costs £3.60 – without a secure padded envelope, collection fee / paying someone to take the item to the post office. We only charged £3.99 – 0.39p more to cover the above costings.

Verum No 6 Fore Plane

Verum No. 6 Fore plane delivered as expected and well protected given weight of package.
Plane purchased at a very good price.
The plane works well with fine shavings straight out of the box, nicely balanced given it's weight.

Excellent customer service

I received my item very promptly, when I opened up the parcel my item was damaged, the packaging was perfect, so I believe it was a manufacturing fault. I contacted Yandle by email and received a reply very quickly. They informed me that the manufacturer would supply me with a replacement, which arrived the next working day. I would like to thank Sam Wilson who dealt with my issue, I was very impressed with his prompt response and customer service.
