I went to axminster a few weeks ago to eye up their machines. Their unit's table flips up in two pieces and is generally a faff. I got the feeling they would fall out of alignment with one another with time. The jet seemed better in every way. They are "on sale" at 1.7k now. If one pops up second hand I'll bite. Speaking of, want to make your money back and sell me yours!?
Hovis-
If one pops up second hand
I have an older Axminster table saw going spare - Yours for free if you can pick it up from Newbury.
I'm there tomorrow, so can post some photos & more details.

makes sense, I blame my failing eyesight...
I have the small Jet planer/thicknesser machine and its great (wish I'd bought the 310 though) it was approx. £600 when I bought it, its now nearly £2k! Axminster trade one looks better value and very similar.
I love machining timber up, I never get over how it changes from rough sawn to planed and the fantastic grain appears - particularly American black walnut
I'll look out for the finished table
