No wonder I couldn’t find where it fits! Thanks for the info.

Yep, the fence part tilts. Assuming it’s for use with the table as the paint is the same, but it might be off another Sheppach tool of the same era. So what is a buzzer?

I bought a Sheppach TKU table saw with this attachment, but can’t figure out what it is or where it goes?

I will consider the Norglass as a last resort, hoping to get away with a non glassy finish, prefer the wood to look natural. Found a place that sells a teak chair for $49, pretty sure it’s enough...

Red gum I fortunately have lots of!

Hard to find in Melbourne, but a good suggestion, thanks

Thanks, I think I have some Huon pine in the shed but not much.

Looking for a small quantity of teak to make 2 shower caddies, who sells it in Melbourne or surrounds?
Or what would be a good alternative timber to use?

Thanks for the info, decided to can the project because there's too many issues - shaft size, flange size etc I wanted to upgrade my bandsaw to 1hp but will sell and replace rather.

Looking for info on where to get a bandsaw pulley like this that will fit a 19mm shaft? I'm in Melbourne, but it's so small that I'm sure it can be posted from elsewhere:

Strangely, no - it gives quite a clean cut, except where you go through a pencil to the other side. Best to keep the bottom flat so you don't have any long thin slivers of pencil ends. You can see it...

Something like this but from red gum. I picked up a lot of gum fence posts, so now I can do lots of smaller diameter items like pepper mills, shakers and the like:

Ok, Gary H - I'll put you out of your misery. Here are the pictures of the bowl - unfortunately the colours blend into the wood when sanding, so not the result I was hoping for:

Christos, I have turned the outside of the courwd pencil bowl and all pencils are still attached. It seems the CA glue worked well enough, but I have to add that I used a lot! When each row was...

The base of the grinder looks small because of the angle of the photo - sorry.

The coloured pencils are all glued together... :)

Here's the pepper grinder I promised my partner for Xmas - finally got it finished. I bought it as Tassie Blackwood, but later thought it might be Sassafras because of the smell - anyone keen to...

I know it's not close to you, but if you found yourself in the Glen Huntly area, feel free to swing by - I have a few spare chisels you can have, I'm a firm believer in the capabilities of the bowl...

Thanks for all the feedback, suggestions and information. It seems from all that was said that it would not be a good idea – I (firstly) incorrectly assumed that the containers are strong (they are...

I’ve been looking on the internet for information but unfortunately when you search for “using a shipping container for a foundation” it shows you hundreds of websites on how to build a foundation...

I'm with you, BobL - the position and the dust is a major concern for me. BUT - the overriding factor was the ability to turn the headstock to outboard, so the VFD had to be mounted on it. My...

Sorry, BobL - I meant give me a visual clue as to the temp (not speed).

Well, everyone is welcome to their own opinion and I respect that. But my philosophy has always been to not knock something until you have tried it. I had a DVR before, and it is great to have EVS....

Thanks Josh, I'll stick with the single pulleys for now - found a guy that sells aluminium pulleys for about $12 ea or 2 for 20, so hard to pass that up.

That laser tacho looks good, thanks Cliff...

Thanks Paul, the reason I'm doing this is so I don't have to change belts manually, so I don't think two-step pulleys will work.

Ok, just done the maths, and in my limited abilities, it looks as...

So, what you are saying is that although the motor is rated at 50Hz, I can safely go up to 120Hz in my settings? Ie, run the motor at 120Hz? Not that I would want anything more than 2000rpm (just...

I recently bought a Carbatec MC1100 lathe second hand, the motor was shot and shorted out the electricity. It was the ideal donor for the Frankenlathe project – converting it to electronic variable...

With an insert you can go from bigger to smaller, but some chucks are for the smaller spindles without an insert. I have one, and several faceplates that I can't use because of this. But by all...

They are similar to the GMC type that you see for sale in places like Gumtree. Unfortunately, because the lathe bed is extruded metal, not cast-iron, you will get frustrated with this very soon -...

Currently looking for a mini or midi (or even a full size if you have it) lathe without a motor, or non-working motor to convert to a pedal powered lathe. I'm in Glen Huntly, Melbourne, but almost...

UPDATE: Thanks for all the good advice, and due to the possible torque issues, I decided to go 3phase and VFD - it's a tried and tested (if slightly more expensive) way, but in terms of the amount of...

Location Melbourne.
thanks for the feedback, the point of the motor is to be able to adjust the speed, so motor speed range not that critical. I'm sure the motor is generic, doesn't have to be a...

Ok, so I've got the 2.75hp Greenmaster treadmill motor (free) because the electronics were stuffed (speed controls and converters that change it from AC to DC - not sure what they are called). This...

Here's a pic of a salt mill that I made - belated Xmas present, as I got caught out with making all the gifts this season. Everyone got something though, cheeseboards and knives, floating wine bottle...

Thank you BobL and pete_k - the switch is now connected and tested just fine. Thanks for the help.

Hi there, new to the forum so hopefully this is the right place to ask - if not, please (gently) show me the correct path...!

I have a Carbatec MC1100 with a simple on/off switch of the type you...
