How long do you find these last? I have used a wire wheel in yhe past - with good results but the don't last too long.
Any experience how these compare?

These are the castors i used.
Ive used them on a few other things including workbenches and Im very happy with them. When they lock both the turning of the wheels and the pivoting lock which seems...

Its 12mm plywood. Cut through to a single layer (about 1-2mm) for the bends. I also used hot water when bending.

Here are a couple of WIP pictures that should give a general idea of the...

Hi. Coming back to this thread now that I have finished the stand/cabinet for it.

The outer skin and drawer fronts are all from a single sheet so the grain pattern runs across the whole thing.

Thanks Bob. I was doing some reading and just realised my motor is Y connetced.

Thanks whitey. Ill have a look in the metalwork forum too.

G'day, I've been looking at this inverter on ebay and wondering if anyone has any feedback or suggestions offer.

Basically Im wondering if it will work for my purpose and and how easy it might be...

Thanks, me too. I might post a thread here to see if anyone has any feedback.

Looking good. Can i ask what vfd you are getting? I need one too and ive been looking at the fairly cheap ones on ebay wondering if they will be ok.

Thanks for the replies. I think this one might have been from a school too.

I gave it a quick test with another 240v motor I have here, but its not the one I want to put in there long term (only...

Yes it has a woodfast badge on the front.

G'day. I need do a few things to get up and running, but im looking forward to using this and trying turning.

I gave everything a quick clean and lube today and everying seems in good order, the...

Good to hear its going well. I look forward to seeing some pictures when ready.

Hi. Sorry for the slow reply. 'roller is spot on. That watyl product is exactly what i bought and used. Compared to the hammerite it was WAY harder to apply and achieve a decent finish.

I dont...

I have found e-go couriers to be more economical than most. Especially if you can do depot to depot.

Thanks guys. I did see that there were positive comments about the metal paint, but didnt find much on the varnish.
Thanks for the info. The price alone makes it temping to try, the price of most...

G'day,

I see 5l of acrylic wood varnish in the aldi catalog this week. Seems a good price if the product is ok.

Has anyone used it previously?

Also, does anyone happen to know if that...

Probably explains why I haven't had a a reply. Looks like i won't, or it will be just to tell me its sold, but I was kind of looking forward to having a browse over all his other 'junk' if I dropped...

Hi. Ive sent the seller a message. Havnt heard back yet but Ill let you know and we can sort out getting them to you from there.

Im close by. If you confirm you want them ill contact the seller and see if i can arrange to pick them up.

Thanks. Yes that's right. The LEDs and the wire are set in the first layer, then the 3 layers were glued and clamped to the form.
A downside is that the LEDs are completely unserviceable, so...

Looks great. I like the design.

Just for completeness, a final picture with the chuck.

You can get them on ebay. Probably other places too.
You can get different colours, remote control etc <$20.

Cheers.
The base is actually filled with concrete. In hindsight it probably wasnt necessary as its quite well balanced.

Before the glue up I routed trenches in the rear side of the first layer, wide enough to take the led strips and leaving about 3mm of thickness. I cut 2 slots and the thickness of my saw blade was...

Amazing job. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
Surely your going to touch up that stop button though?

G'day,

Here are some pictures of a floor lamp I made a little while ago.
Its for a tall space, hence the idea to make something bespoke as nothing I could find was as tall as wanted.

Its 3...

There a lots of products specifically for this purpose, and I've had good results with them. Put 'metal flake' into ebay. 'Pearl' additives can give great results too, more of a shimmer than a...

Well its looking good already in your pictures. Of course I should have also reccomend you try one of the other paints that I tried too - so that you could fully appreciate the differenece. You...

Looking good.

Im not sure. There aren't any instructions on the tin for thinning or spraying so maybe not.

Based on my experience it should work well for you. I stripped, cleaned and prepped everything well but the directions on the tin seem almost to good to be true - no primer, paint straight over rust...

This is the stuff.

Direct to Rust Metal Paint Hammered Finish - Hammerite

Interesting that you have asked about the paint. Its hamerite and it occured to me at the time that it is brillant.

I used 2 other hammer finish paints at the time i was doing this drill (the gun...

G'day, here is my old Austolite drill that I have been gradually fixing up over the last few months.

I have basically stripped it down and built it up again with new paint, bearings, seals and...

Gday,

Ive been using this modified dust collector for about a year or so now and thought I'd share because it really is a ripper.

I wanted a cyclone but didnt want to go down the route that I...

Thanks for the comments. I gave the fish to my dad who is a fishing nut. He seemed to like it.

I think you will need to glue at least 2 layers for it hold its shape well.

It looks like they might be marks from original milling of the timber. In which case they would need sanding out before re-finishing if you want to completely eliminate them.

I dont have one, but i like the look of the bosch 10.8V circular saw for small jobs. Only cuts to 1" though.

Ok, the calculator has been in action, and if I have it right the 'new' single phase 2850rpm motor will give me 1 additional HP and an 8% increase in cutter speed compared to how she is set up at...

Thanks for the replies.
The single phase motor is rated 1HP up on the current one so power should be OK.
Im pretty sure the pulley sections are the same but good point about the reduced belt...
