Fitting the aprons.

End vice construction. It was the most complicated as a lot of work had to be done under the bench top since the apron formed part of the jaw.

Thank you. It exists only because the wife fell of her bicycle :(.

Design and build to fit a sliding table saw and associated machinery.

Side vice hardware was fitted to the top and one side apron before the top was attached as it made it much easier than working up side down.
Sorry about the focus but it is the only picture I have....

Bolt and cross dowel fasteners hold it all together so accuracy on the hole position and square is very important.

Prototype.

Heavily modified imperial measurement plan from a book called 'Making Workbenches' by Sam Allen ISBN 0-8069-0535-2.

I am sure that some sets will get more use than others, more than likely that the sets nearest each vice will see more use. The holes are laid out using the parf system so you can square off them.

Sadly not. Often they drop onto the top of the cupboards which act as a shelf. Otherwise it's crawl around the floor to find where they went :)

Actually the US dollar appreciated by approximately 5 cents before it was forced down. Fed is trying to put out fires on many fronts. It is a discussion for a different forum but the meta economics...

The US Federal Reserve is desperately trying to force down the value of the US currency and they have been successful to some extent. No idea how this will play out but I see our dollar has come back...

I upgraded to a sliding table saw. I just saw the slider as a upgrade progression and have not regretted it.

I ended up with a Hammer K3 Winner but that was because SCM were difficult to have a...

Lots of discussion else where about how contagious it is. R0 is the symbol that is used and currently its anywhere between 0.45 and 3.5. Anything over 1 is not great as it implies that it will keep...

Hope they are correct Bob as we won't survive a supply side shock.

Now you understand what the Governor of the Reserve Bank means when he says he wants to import inflation.

Machine still works which is amazing for me. Wife would kill me if I broke it.

Ah, sorry I miss understood. I will have to pass on pulling my motor to pieces as I am world re-known for not being able to reassemble things and have them work again.

Sorry for the delay.

I have the euro plug on the machine.

I did some sound measurements for you on my workshop, which is only small at 23m2. Got out my old Realistic sound level meter, set it to C Weighting and Fast Response for the following readings: ...

I have used 110 mm Soundscreen in my workshop walls and it works really really well for the neighbors :) Doesn't do much for me inside the workshop as I still have to use ear plugs.

If my radius bend was 1.5 times the diameter where would that put me on the chart for percentage of air flow loss ?

Interesting. Guess I will look for conical fittings then.

There is no reduction in the reducer as it steps up from 120 to 150. Flex hose is on the outside. Reduction is on the machine outlet itself. Sorry its not that clear without a picture or two.

I cut up a large stepped reducer and used it to attach to the end of a 6 inch flex hose. One like this https://www.carbatec.com.au/dust-control/dust-extraction-fittings/dust-reducer-universal-yw-1039...

Thanks for the reply. CU300 is a bit beyond my budget and I suspect way beyond my workshop space.

I am considering a new workshop currently but it would only be 5x4 meters internally.

I was interested in a Minimax C30 G as well. Did you get any further with your purchase ?
