Sounds like a good plan . There is also a music sub forum where you could post as well.

I realize that I am late into the thread but want to agree with all that Rustynail has said about Tru Oil. I have finished several gun stocks with Tru Oil and it is a very forgiving, easy to apply...

Think you were right to take the plunge. I've waited around for better deals and it has gone the other way���� with price increases.
Cabatec don't bring the 1800 in any more but Leda do. Same...

Scrolling through and saw your post from Feb. What type of info were you after? I have the CT-PS1800 with seperately driven scribe saw. Haven't used it much with melamine but have cut MDF and ply...

Have just replaced the cutter head on a Geetech 8". Replaced bearings as well and used a press to ensure no damage to bearings or housing. The machine runs much quieter and leaves a terrific finish....

Welcome to the forum. There is some wonderful wit and wisdom to be had.

Thought of that too Ian and have been trying to find out where he is. Only knew them thru the business. Will keep asking around.

Excellent idea - I would be up for it

I agree it is a skill worth preserving and its starting to look as though I might have to learn to hand sharpen. Would be great to have a tutor but books and the DVD will probably be the way. In the...

Thanks for that will check it out. Is that near the knife sharpening shop??

Thanks for the very warm welcome. Looking forward to becoming more involved in the forum and maybe even catching up with some of the forum members esp those from Tassie.:)

Took a handsaw to be sharpened today to a locally run family business that I have used for years only to find that sadly it is in receivership and has closed. Really great people - helpful and...

Hi to all, my name is Dave and altho I have been an avid forum reader over the last few years, I haven't had the chance to make many postings.Taking early retirement has enabled me to seriously get...

Will be interested to see the setup when you finish.

No problems, happy to be able to help out. Yep have thought about a cyclone but don't know much about them. Need to do a bit of reading and get up to speed as cyclone systems are new territory for...

Blackout, have just had to do a quick run up to the workshop unexpectedly so had a quick look at the dusty. True to form my dad was a stickler for keeping all correspondence and instruction manuals...

Blackout there is one very similar working model in my dads workshop . Has been a workhorse for some years and I am about to bring it down to my shop as my dedicated dusty. Will take me a day or two...

Okay, will get myself an LED torch this week. Just had a look at the Old WWM site. Great site. Have just joined

cheers dave

Must say I am now really tempted after the postive replies.
Not sure about the phase but will re -motor if I have to.
I also thought that 200 kgs was a bit on the light side after seeing the pics!!!

Hi Matrix,
Asking price is $500 but haven't asked whether there is a bottom line yet.

Would appreciate some advice re a vintage bandsaw that is for sale. I will post pics that I have received via e-mail. Two of the pics are only 7KB and don’t enlarge well.
The saw is 3 ½ hours away...

:2tsup: Touche, Big Shed - and we were often told to take it or leave it with little choice!

Hi Robert I have recently seen a machine with identical specs to the Woodfast but with a different badge. Being brought into Hobart by a local machinery distributor.
It is a Chinese machine - maybe...

Forget the posting - have shown my ignorance and just found the link at the top of the page.
Newbies don't stand out much do they!!!!

Is there a link to the Melbourne WWW show where I can get info? Thinking about coming over from Tassie for the show as I want to check out tablesaws and bandsaws before I buy.
Are the dates Oct....

:U Thanks for the info. All posts have been helpful and make me realize that I need to look at the machines in the 'flesh'. So far have been limited to net sites and brochures - they all look okay in...

:U Thanks for that. Was a great help. Phoned Carbatec and they were very helpful and will spend some time with me when I come to Melbourne in early September.
Is the TS-12R a rebadged Jet?

:) This is a new posting on an old topic but as a new member would welcome your advice/input. Hope this is okay and you aren't tired of the topic! Have read previous discussions on tablesaws and they...
