HI Everyone

This will hopefully be the last email in this topic. I finally got to the bottom of this problem. I just talked to Peter from Felder. They tested the same blade on their new machine,...

Warmtone

Thx for the clip!! I do have the same problem, not as bad as yours though. I have tried four different blades and the amount of wobble changes from blade to blade. I have not heard from...

Warmtone thx for the reply!! I am very intersted to see the video. I'll try ordering few blades from the McDivens just out of curiosity.

Old Pete, the bandsaw and all the baldes are brand new,...

Hi Everyone

I am back again. Late last week, I have received two 1/4in bimetal blades from Henry Bros. Over the weekend, I have tested both blades and to my surprise there was not any wobble. It...

G'Day Folks

Hi Everyone

This is the second time I am posting this question. I have just bought a Hammer N4400 and Henry Bros 1/2 inch blade to go for it. I set it up and blade tracks fine. The problem is that...

Thx AlexS!!! I'll fiddle around little bit to see if I can find a way to adjust it.

Cheers
Sam

When you look at from the side, upper part of the bearing is closer to the blade than the bottom section of the bearing. Today I also realise another problem. As I mentioned before, blade tracks...

SB, I was in a similar situation last year. It took one year to save and use Santa as an excuse to convince SWMBO:2tsup:
AlexS thanks for the feedback!! I did what you told and now balde tracks...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Everyone!! Santa brought me a Hammer N4440 this year:)))) I also ordered 1/2 inch 3TPI bimetal blade from Henry Bros as well. I spent the Christmas break setting...

Hi Scrollers

I am new to Scrollsaws. I usually build boat modells and thinking about buying one. I read the forum, and it seems there is a common concensus on the Hagner being the best (if you...

Hi Everyone

I have a Veritas low angle spokeshave that I bought with the small blade holder. I was wondering if anyone used this small blade holder with Veritas MK II honing guide. It seems it is...

Hi Everyone,

Hi everyone,

I just installed a Incra Mitre Express on Delta saw. When I use it with the blade guard on, anti-kick back fingers stops me pulling the Mitre Express back. Any ideas if this is...

Derek,

I rang Hares & Forbes on Saturday and they have one in stock. I'll pick it up next Saturday. Many thank for the suggestion!!

Derek, specialist

Thanks for the feedback. I have decided to go for the H&F as well. Have you had any problem with the 3/4hp? Is it worth going for a more powerful machine?

Woodlee, Specialist

Thanks for the reply!! I did have an old GMC, which died out recently. I was kind of happy that it did as well due to the spindle runout. I do use sander for making children's...

I am in the market for a new Belt & Disc sander for home workshop use. I want something trouble free e.g. minimum spinde runout if possible. Any suggestions will be highly appreaciated.

Cheers
Sam

Mirboo thanks for the information. It is a shame that they only sell this in USA, not even in Europe. It would have been nice to get the combo pack. Krazee, where did you get the Bosch? $200 is an...

Hi Everyone,

I was inclining towards Maktec as well. Than some show me a new Bosh Router called Bosh Cold 1.0HP Palm router. Does any one have an exprience with this router or know if it is...

mic-d, GCP310,

When I log on the tradetools web page I can not seem to find the trimmer. The only trimmer pops up is the hitachi one. Could you directme where exactly this trimmer is?

Cheers...

Hi Everyone,

I agree with Rocker. I did rip and cross cut the same timber on Delta saw with CMT blade without any problem. As majority point out it could be the speed that needs adjustment. I'll...

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the replies. I should have explained a bit better what exactly I was doing. I'd like to cut a circular grove on a serving tray made from Jarrah. Please do not ask me...

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to cut a circular groove with a plunge router and using a template for this purpose. The first time I plunge the router it leaves a burn mark behind, which is very...

Thanks everyone for the replies.floobyduster, I did look into the Skill, but the wiring was melted. I think there was some sort of short circuit. I'd like the fine adjustment on Makita. Just George...

Hi Everyone,

My faithful Skill laminate trimmer that I inherited from my father in law died out recently. I am after a new one. I looked at Makita ($230), Maktec ($130) and Rayobi. I am surprised...

Hi Dean,

Can you make a comparison between Beedlock vs Domino in terms of strength ease of adjustment, accuracy etc?

Hi Trevor,

Thanks for the reply. I got a phone call from the Fein sales rep, who confirmed your story. I suppose I have to leave with it.

Cheers

djstimber, TrevorOwen, mrghm

Thanks for the replies. Sydney tools just delivered the vacuum free of charge. There is one strange thing though. The Fein web page described the max outlet scoket...

DJ, Trevor,

Thanks for the replies. It is Fein for me as well. Sydney tools sells it for $399, which sounds like a good price.

Cheers
Sam

HI DJ,

I have seen Carabtec models as well. As far as I can remmeber they are about the same price (aroun$300) however their power rating for tool attachment is much lower. Have you used yours...

Hi Mike,

My apologies for not getting back to you earlier. My computer was down for a while. I do agree the fact that some of the no-frill cleaners are quite similar. The reason I was interested...

Hi Everyone,

I need a feedback for the Fein 1300W vacuum cleaner. Has anyone had an experience with them? If so, can it be used with other power tools? How is the suction and noise level?
...

Hi Derek,

Thanks for the quick repsonse. Alhtough it is still difficult, it certainly makes life much easier than doing it free hand. My original question was related to the cap iron, which should...

Hi Derek,

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I found the idea of using a magnatic base is excellent. I do have a similar problem with flattening the edge of cap iron, where it meets the back of...

Can anyone recommend a heavy duty stapler and a stapler remover (and where to get them) for strip boat building?

Cheers
Sam

Thanks for the reply guys. Unfortunately, I can not afford Festool even if it is worth the amount. Soundman, which model of Hitachi is that you are refering to? Bleedin Thumb, I checked the Metabo...

Hi everyone,

Cheers

Wongo,
