They sell on eBay for about $55

The only negatives I can see so far are the measurments are in imperial and no dust extraction but I think both of those can be easily rectified.

Hi all,

Looking into getting a pocket hole jig as they look handy to have around. Found a cheap one on eBay that can be had for around $55, going by the photos it looks like good value, it seems...

Are they easy to setup compared to a regular stepper motor? Do they work with mach3?

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone is using Gulf Western 2 stroke oil in there saws? Is there any issues with it? I bought 5 litres of it awhile ago but don't really wan't to use it if it is not...

Yeah would like to avoid using the Stihl paints, haven't heard any good things about it.

Might take a small part into bunnings and have them try and match it. Probably will use Wattyl Killrust...

Looking to buy some paint for a stihl saw, anyone know where I could find the correct colour in Australia? On the american forums they suggest ford lt grey tractor implement paint is pretty close to...

What issues are you having with the cheap plasma?

Hi Greg, Can you post a link to the plasma you are using?

Is it still a good idea to use a bag for the vac or can you do without this?

Hi,

Noticed you can get cheap Cylone Dust Seperators on eBay now, just wondering if they are any good or should they be avoided? It will be used with a stihl vac, I think it is around 27L in...

Hi,

I was looking for the overall width of the rails and the overall length.

Thanks

Ok thanks for that, should be enough info to work something out. This will just be a temporary thing just to have a play around with, I'll make some bigger/better at a later date.

Thanks

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone here has an alaskan small log mill that they can measure up for me, doesn't have to be exact, just some rough dimensions would do. I wan't to make something similar...

Hi,

A quick search on eBay came up with this.

Hope it helps

If you have an air compressor you can get a pneumatic one pretty cheaply. ...

Try eBay, you can buy from Australia, new surplus stock or straight from china cheaply.

No, not a motorbike trailer or fully enclosed. Just a normal trailer with removable cage and possibly tipping.

What thickness is required for the drawbar?

Even a removable cage would be a good thing to have.

500kg weight limit should be ok. I think that is about the max isn't it for single axle?

As for what i'm carrying, just general items really. Sometimes machinery, dirt, logs. etc.

RHS chassis...

Hi all,

Just wondering if there are any free 6x4 trailer plans available on line? Thinking of building one soon.

Thanks

Ok, I will go with the doubles.

Do both prongs at each end of the tube need to be connected or just one? In the diagram in the first post it shows both ways.

Are you's using double tubes in your lighting. Mine have provision for two but have always ran with one. Would it be worth fitting two led tubes to each? Also they don't have any covers/diffusers....

I have old style Fluorescent fittings with the magnetic ballast which I will be adding these AEG tubes to. Is there any advantage in removing the ballast, or should I should leave it as it is?

Hi,

Thinking of getting some of these to try out. Notice there are 3 types of colour temperatures available.

4000K Office White
6500K Daylight White
4000K Cool White

Not sure which ones...

He has a mig so he has that covered.

All right will keep that in mind if I get stuck, thanks for the offer.

Ok, I'm starting to think a 90 frame motor would be the best place to start. I don't think there is a true bolt in solution out there.

The drill press has provision for the 165mm PCD, there is...

I would never use a grub screw, I would be cutting a key way as per original.

More confusion, a 100L motor should have a 180mm spigot, mine is 130mm.

...

Yeah, I won't be able to bore out the gear, not enough material there. The gear is only 30mm Diameter.

Looks like the shaft will need to be turned down.

Would a 9" based lathe handle it. Could...

OK here is some more info & photos, seems I may have gotten a little confused.

I just assumed it was an 80 frame motor because the shaft on the original motor being 19mm, that's what google told...

Thanks for the replies, looks like there is plenty of there. Just need to make some calls/visits now.

Big shed, it would probably mount up ok, but I really need a 19mm shaft as I have a gear that...

Hi,

I'm after a 1.5kw 3 phase 240v motor, 1400rpm, frame 80, D flange. 19mm shaft diameter. Does any one know any places that would stock something like this. I've messaged a few sellers on eBay...

That's not a bad price matthew_g. I probably only want the basics to start with black, red, blue etc. Out of interest how far does 1kg of powder get you?

Hi all,

Probably a long shot but thought I'd ask anyway. Does anyone know where I could source some powder coating powder from? I found a place through google http://www.caswellplating.com.au/...

Out of interest what are you trying to find out about it?

Ok the model of it is Makita BHX2500 and here is the part required http://www.ereplacementparts.com/swing-arm-p-672726.html

Hi,

Just wondering if Makita stocks spare parts in Australia. I need a small part for a blower vac. It's only about 90 cents on ereplacement parts but postage is a killer.

Thanks

I think the newer model would be made in China vs the older model made in Japan.

Hi,

Thanks for all the replys. In the end I decided to buy from Peter. I ended up with RH, LH, 3 boring bars, internal + external threading and inserts to suit. He was easy to deal with and...

ah makes sense now. Could the 9 be drilled and tapped at the front? Is the 260 & 9" steady the same or different?

Thanks for the detailed info, I will probably end up doing the same with my lathe at some stage.

It looks like you won't be able to fit the travelling steady any more as the scale is mounted in...

Wow, just browsing h & f to compare and it's a bargain compared with this http://www.machineryhouse.com.au/L450 You get an extra 2 boring bars as well.

Hi,

At the moment I do not own any tipped tools, what I am looking for is something that will work well and the inserts should be readily available and affordable. I wouldn't mind getting a...

Just found these, looks like better value and it's in Australia...

out of interest what are you using the outputs for?

I have used the thin cut off discs they are good value for the $$$ I did a test awhile back on some stainless and the smith a arrow didn't last as long as a flexovit but the difference wasn't worth...

cheers for that. I just found some old down light fittings and it has a multicore wire with a braided cover. It looks about right to me :)

cheers just found it :) Should be plenty.
