TX700 from CTD

[Hawkofeagles]

I have just taken delivery of a TX700 :drool5: from CTD and I must say, it looks the business. You do need to spend some time in the gym to carry it. For £235 I feel as I have stolen it from them!!! :lol:

Anyone got any tips that might help me when using it..

Also Doug how do you get the TX1200 out of your van? :yikes:

 

[doug boardley]

lol Neil, Dave Ramsden has just borrowed it for a while, I bet he wished he'd taken up my offer of helping him lift it the 50metres to his van:lol:
The TX700 is a stunning cutter mate, and at £235, I'd say you must've gone in to ctd with a stick up gun!

Is that the new model..?.. alloy version with sprung bed..

Is that the new model..?.. alloy version with sprung bed..

even if it's the old model Dave (which I suspect it is) I'd know I'd got a great bargain that'll last me many years

 

[Hawkofeagles]

Yup sure is Dave, the 700 not the 700N..

You didn't make him carry it his self Doug..:lol::lol::lol::lol:

 

[DHTiling]

It's just i am after the new version Doug..

 

[Sean Page]

TX700 is an awesome bit of kit... mines about getting on a bit now but still does the biz with ease..... alloy version? damn now I'm jealous :lol::lol:

 

[Hawkofeagles]

Sorry didn't make my last reply clear.. The bed is sprung yes.

I actually prefer the simplicity of my TX700 to my TX1200N, I did offer to help him Neil, but at 28, he's 18 years younger than me:hurray:

 

[White Room]

Thats a good price for the new version

 

[DHTiling]

Sorry didn't make my last reply clear.. The bed is sprung yes.

But is it the newer 2009 model... alloy bed and spring loaded bed plates and not foam..?..

The bed looks like this N version

 

[Hawkofeagles]

Dave when you say alloy version it aint the light weight version but does have the sprung base...

It's exactly the same as this one

Thats right Dave no foam on the bed..

 

[DHTiling]

This is the older version...

 

[DHTiling]

As you can see foam under the bed plates.

 

[doug boardley]

same one as mine Neil, and I love the baby still:hurray::hurray:

 

[Hawkofeagles]

This is the older version...

Exactly the same but no foam on the bed.

 

[DHTiling]

It is the older version... you had me all excited then..:lol:

 

[Hawkofeagles]

To be honest Doug I know I got a very good deal but I just wan't to make sure someone dosen't order one thinking its a certain model/type and getting the wrong one.
I spose all they have to do is ring CTD and speak to them to find out if it is what they want.

 

[doug boardley]

I've never noticed foam beds ( I know we discussed this t'other night Dave) on mine, gonna have to check it over in the morning. Is there an old version that didn't have the foam beds? mine's about 10 year old now.

 

[Hawkofeagles]

Sorry Dave :vanish:

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

It is the older version... you had me all excited then..:lol:

For a minute I thought someone had posted a picture of me,:lol: old TX still works Fine for me

Not sure doug.. mine is about 4 to 5 yr old i think.... Red box.. and the N version... it might be the TX straight are not foam bed based. but looking at the pic of a tx700 above you can see the foam under the bed plate.

yes, it looks so obvious does the foam bed, on that pic, just all the angles I've had mine in over the years I've never noticed any sign of foam, it's in my back spot at the mo, I'll give it a good looking over tomorrow and post pics

I got a 22mm wheel and it cut the hardest stuff that Villeroy Boch could throw at it ( got it from tradetiler)

 

[DHTiling]

[doug boardley]
