Fletty,

For those of us running power tools, say a router in the Incra, do you need us to bring extension leads ? I'm also debating whether to bring dust collector for the router . What would you...

More than happy to bring it to the GTG, fits in the car's glovebox, and no mains electricity needed to make it work :2tsup:

Fletty , I'll send a PM with my details .

PS just tried to send PM , system is saying your Inbox may be full.

But Incra positioner with router, router table , bits and dimensioned timber is no...

Fletty,

Late to the discussion.

If woodworking power tools are in your future a router is invaluable . If a router is invaluable then a router table is also essential and the Incra is a fancy , super...

MM,

Not urgent by any means but I think I sent a PM for the total on these boards , I'll send another in case the first was vaporised.

I don't know how to make guitars , but I'd be pleased to have those boards.

Postage to Sydney , and I'll send a PM .

MM ,

If gungy happens to pass on the offer , may I have those beautiful looking boards ?

double.d

I bought some beautiful silky oak from MM about 18 months ago.

Its not just the timber that's great : its the whole deal and service that will bring a smile to your face.

Even the...

Yes , please MM

PM sent

Artful , sent a PM confirming my bid . The system's a bit confusing, not as transparent as eeebeh .

No problem OG , the pattern on those boards does look very nice.

:2tsup:

If not already sold to old gunnie , I'd be pleased to buy them.

Sending PM

Chris , did you end up organising a demo/purchase of the incra for yourself ? I live 30 minutes from Helensburgh & have an Incra positioner .

Richard, it all depends on what you want to use it for now and in the future.

I've only just started using an 18" bandsaw and Dengue's question is the most important as far as bandsaw function is concerned. And yet reading the replies there are many ways to arrive at the...

The machinery is but one aspect.

The potential monetary sink hole is in the software and tooling. To say nothing of the learning curve if starting from scratch.

I feel lucky . Just yesterday I was dovetailing on a Leigh D4 doing the tails.

and just like all other festool products I've bought, it'll cost a hell of a lot more but at least it'll sound like a mellifluous stereo system and not an unbearably bad-for-my-ears boom box...

The dollar hasn't gone down with respect to the Euro.

I bought the 150/3 first and the RTS200 half sheet sander a couple of weeks
later. The 150/3 is going to be used more. It gives a very nice finish. RTS200 is good too mind you but the 150/3 pips it...

Yes, I saw that post too. As you say its a good thing the memory of pain subsides after a while otherwise we'd be in intensive care on a morphine drip

Thanks Rattrap and Des for the speedy reply.I only had my post up for a few hours. :2tsup:

What were the shipping costs like and did it take long to arrive ?
Thanks.

It looks good now. I'm an amateur.

The first two efforts were just awful. I had to take the glass down

I checked this morning , still no part at bunnings . In my opinion cost savings of the brand are not worth it if this is the kind of after sales service they offer.

I take it all back . My parts have not arrived

Triton Gmc or whoever they are now are not getting another dollar from me.
Ive bought three of their products, one the sabre saw cuts for ten...

I went to bunnings this morning to order the same part but i only needed
the cap not the spring or its guide so the part no was TR053.

The lady who took the order was very helpful . She rang GMC...

Thanks coldamus , its what I wanted to know. If they gave you
a price they must have gone to the trouble of ringing
GMC . And it does seem very reasonable . I'll be following your lead on Monday

how did you go with the spare part ordering through bunnings?

just so happens I need the exact same part.

I've used acrylic and oil based dulux sealer binder.
Both excellent ,both worth every penny
but I prefer the oil based stuff
Paint it all.

Couple of questions:

Didnt look closely enough at your first pic it says 1400mm for the guide rail
So if you need to cut something longer how would you go about it ?

Thanks for all the info and pics Flowboy

Whats the legth of your guide rail?

If its one of the shorter ones how would
you rip a sheet of ply ?

mine hasnt arrived either

Perfect. Thanks Lignum, Groggy, NT900. Those pics speak volumes.

Did you guys have them on file or did you go to the shed and snap them tonite ?
Either way I'm impressed.

Lignum ,Those pictures are just perfect.

Did you put a pencil mark on the side panel and shelf before the first cut
or by index pin do you mean the accessory that comes with the domino ?

Thanks Groggy. couple more qs

The bottom plate of the biscuit joiner/ domino would then rest against the
straight edge ?
It would need a straight edge with a bit if height to provid enough...

If I wanted to place a shelf at a precise height onto the side panels of a book case how would I do this with the domino?

Thanks for that Lignum. Its reassuring.
