Documented faults
- Axminster AP2920B

Axminster's own troubleshooting guide for this bandsaw names three causes for blade breakage: insufficient blade tension, misaligned blade guides, and feeding timber through too quickly — all setup issues, not a fault with the machine itself

Axminster's own troubleshooting table for this pillar drill names four distinct causes for run-out or wobble: a bent drill bit, the bit not properly seated in the chuck, the chuck not properly seated on the spindle, and worn spindle bearings — only the last of those needs a replacement part
