Thanks for the responses guys, I guess I'll give it a try, as has been said, probably a good place to start, not going to send me broke if it's a bad investment :unsure:

Hi guys, I realiseI'm looking at the bottom end of equipment but need to start somewhere. There is a 14" Baker band saw for sale locally as a part of a deceased estate. It's an old Baker brand, no...

Tx for that

could someone please explain, is there a difference between metal cutting bandsaws and woodcutting bandsaws or is it different blades etc??
Cheers
Bob

Thanks for that.

Hi, I've done a search and can't find an answer.
I've just reduced the prices in a market place thread I started and thought I'd edit the title to indicate "price drop" hoping that people who had...

Trying to get everything you want out of one trailer is tough., I've been through it as have several mates. I guess it depends on how elaborate a campsite you want. A mate of mine used a box trailer...

Thanks Ben,
any chance of posting or sending some pics. Was the increase in size necessary, from what I had read I thought the small outlet on the top was better fro pressure vs volume???

I found it in the Library, in the videos section.

Quite an interesting area to peruse too

I just bought similar to what you are looking at and at 2500 it took some of the colour off the top of the concrete when I first used it too close (used to a little electric Karcher previously)....

A mate of mine makes furniture for beer gardens out of them for exactly that reason, the punters can't knock em off (mind you they still have a good go at it)

I often check this out before bidding on an item for two reasons. Feedback is usually given too quickly, ie people get the item, they're excited and it looks to be what they bid on so they leave...

I'm all for monarchy's or dictatorships myself. The problem with elected govt is they have one thing on their mind for 3/4 years, getting re elected. No long term plans or major works, if there's no...

I believe the blade simply has a wide kerf (the manual says this is to accomodate varying thickness biscuits, I suspect it's simply poor tolerances in manufacture). I hadn't thought of replacing the...

Thanks for the info guys. I have a GMC at the moment which works but suffers from similar shortcomings. The biggest issue to me is that it cuts slightly oversize holes which it says in the manual is...

Now there's a thought.

I'm in a 4wd club and one of the committee (not sure what his title is, publicity or something) often arranges member only nights at camping stores, 4wd shops etc where...

Aldi have their biscuit joiner again this week but from what I've read here, it appears they have a GMC clone, and a Porter Cable clone. I was wondering if anyone could identify this one for me??

Tx mate, currently $33, wouldn't that be nice :no:.

I'll see how I go.

Where did you get it at that price?? The only AC DC Tigs on token tools site start at $2350 and I can't find them on Ebay???

Thanks
Bob

Tx, that's what I was wondering. When I said reliability, I meant user friendly, ie could an amatuer use it as he learned.

Bob

I'm interested in this thread as I'd like to purchase a Tig but didn't think I'd get one worth having for under a grand. Problem I have is I'd be learning on it so I wouldn't have picked up on the...

Bugger, I was going to bed an hour ago, then I clicked on the link :2tsup:

I've been reluctant to volunteer as I don't know that I would be able to answer all the questions :no: but I'm happy to do an hour with someone in case I'm stuck (maybe more if I've spent all my...

Rays is more comprehensive then what I had found (material listed) so I've saved his too.

Thanks very much guys, that's helpful.

Hello, I get the Etips from the woodsmith shop tv which looks like it would be worth watching but isn't available in Aust yet (as far as I can find out). They don't seem to have any DVD's available...

Nah, I reckon it will go full circle and we'll become the 3rd world, cheap labour, country. At least it'll be payback time and we'll be able to annoy someone in Mumbai in the middle of their dinner...

yeah, I'm not a fan of David Campbell but channel 7 just destroyed his life. There's no reason to do what they did, how is his seriously ill wife coping with that. Funny thing is the talkback radio I...

ahhhh "he who hesitates" as they say. By the time I made my mind that purchasing on line was the way to go, 12% has been added to the cost of purchase (and freight) thanks to the sliding dollar...

I don't know if I'm missing something but wouldn't you simply contact someone like this

Thanks for the reply, they're $314 at the moment plus 15% buyers premium plus $108 freight (total $469) with a day to go. Seems to me their shipping costs start to knock the top off a bargain.

Hi guys, just wondering how the saws are going. They are still available online at a good price but no price is a good price if they are rubbish. Just wondering how good they are??

Tx

bob

Yeah thanks for that, I'm tempted and the Aus $$$ is good at the moment (mind you it seems to be slipping daily). Postage is significant so I'll give it some thought, might wait till the Sydney WWW...

I'm interested in this but if I understand his advice on how to calculate the necessary sized transformer, (V x A = Watts - 120 x 7 = 840Watts) I'd require the 1,000W transformer @ $137 plus postage...

How did you go purchasing from the states? I had considered this but thought they were 110 volts?
Bob

Thanks for the suggestions so far guys. I'll work on my techniques as it was a bit heavy handed. I don't want to spend money I don't need to if the machine is fine. I did see in other reviews of the...

Hello,
pardon my ignorance but I just used a biscuit joiner for the first time. I have had a GMC joiner for some time now and finally got around to having a go at using it. My only exposure to using...

This is also what I did for a shed I put up. a bit of mucking around but not only does it increase the height but it also prevents water seeping in under the shed walls.

Bob

Very nice indeed, I hope to build something like this and this post has been most helpful, mind you the first pic does almost look like you picked it up at Ikea:U

I also intend to purchase some channel but was thinking I might get a bargain at the Sydney WWW Show. Are there truly bargains to be had, have you seen such things there and are the quality items...

Tx Mini,

I'm also interested in having a go at making one of these. In his post, Munruben makes reference to a video to download. Could someone please steer me to where I may find this??

Ah, your a legend, that's the stuff I was looking for. That's helped me out heaps. You've rerally got to get the right key words in those searches :doh:
