Guys,

A young guy in my local area has agreed to purchase the entire equipment list so as to start up a new business making furniture. :D

The offer on here is therefore withdrawn pending...

A 3-way deal may be possible... (unless of course I receive a bulk offer for the lot... .:))

I'll work on a price split-up

Rob

Sorry... but I want to keep everything together with the table saw system -> to make it a more saleable package...

Besides, the table saw may not sell and I'd then need all the bits and pieces...

G'Day...
As you have surmised, I'm not willing to separate the table saw/router combination. Particularly as my saw is quite wide and I had to get special rails for the LS. Also, I don't have a...

I could split it up... Depends on which bits...

Rob

I am offering for sale various woodworking equipment including a saw/router table system, a jointer and a drill press all as a bulk package.

The saw/router table system includes:

Carbatec...

I agree totally! This was for a special order... The only other time I imported blanks was when they were part of a bulk multi-pen pack.

I also use recovered timber from furniture, etc. that's...

I drill my blanks on the lathe using the pen drilling jaws on my chuck and the Viper bits. I don't have a Tormec but I do sharpen the bits using the Drill Doctor. You're quite right about the swarf...

Without a doubt you are correct. It still leaves a sour taste in my mouth though...

It boils down to the fact that their quality control leaves a bit to be desired... Still, given the size of the...

The splits only really became apparent after I drilled the blank. At the cracked end, the drill hole was actually oval so the cracked opened up after drilling. I tried gluing the crack but the...

Hi all!

In response to my complaint to Paypal, PSI has credited my account with the $6.85 USD I requested.

In addition, PSI has offered an "online gift card for the blank $18.95" (the blank...

Hi...

Yes they do offer to provide a "store" credit or will include the item in a new order. (Apparently this is not an option for US customers - I presume that they simply mail replacement goods...

G'Day All,

I recently purchased some kits direct from Penn State Industries (PSI) in the States. Included in the order were some stabilised spalted maple timber blanks. One of these was badly...

I shall give it a go... :C

Rob

Thanks dai sensei!!!

I don't have casting gear so I'm limited a pair of gloves and some CA...

I'll probably go for the clear - so the thick CA. Do I just pour it over the blank and let is cure?...

Hi all...

I've acquired a piece of red gum burl that want to use for some pens.

I know red gum is somewhat difficult to turn and I expect that this stuff will simply shatter as soon as a come...

Hi JapanDave...

Yes, the dovetail bits are inch sized but the straight bits are metric! irrespective though you must use the Metric Addendum to the Master reference guide...

Remember, the lead...

In principle, I agree with Damian!

The only time you should use the WF is when the fence is partially over the cutter. The rest of the time you should use just the standard fence.

That said,...

Ahhhhh - but please consider that the wonder fence is an optional extra - and it does add 85mm to the overall "thickness" or width of the fence.

Like Damian, I also have the LS/TS combination with...

Congratulations with your acquisition! Believe me, you'll grow to love it!:2tsup:

I just pulled out my manual for the LS and had a close look at it.

The long and the short of it is that both...

Just one word...

DON'T!!!!!!

(That's really dangerous!)

Rob:no:

Guys... just keep in mind that metric LS requires metric router bits! Similarly, imperial LS must have imperial bits!

If you have two systems -> 2 sets of bits! - Expensive!

Before you buy the...

Hi,

In general I would agree with Graham on this however the size of the LS is entirely dependent on the size of the work you're trying to do. I have used the full capacity of the LS25 on only one...

Hi all!

I was instructed by my daughter to make a doll's house for my grandaughter for Chritmas!

This is the result... I made it from 12mm plywoodand it's roughly 600 wide x 300 deep x 1.2m...

yeah, i found them on my own. They don't list the micro splitters though. I've sent them an email to see if they carry them. Thanks...

Whereabouts can I find details/buy??? (I've been thankful for the heavy leather apron several times now...)

I used shims between the carriage arm and the fence itself to get the fence vertical to the table. I then set the fence absolutely square with the blade by locking the positioner, loosening the...

Guys, I have a LS setup here as well (except I'm using a 27 inch positioner) and I've had no issues at all! Mind you, one does have to read the destructions carefully when setting up! I've fallen...

Already done!!! She'd been waiting for months for this...

Hi all...

just finished this jewelry cabinet for my wife. The case and drawers are made with Tassie Hardwood with a Wenge centre panel. I used a bit of hardboard and glued some felt over it for...

If Grahame can't get you one and if he agrees, I'll hapily make you a copy of mine...

Rob

Hi Doug!

I've been gradually upgrading my system over the last couple of years...

I started off with a Carbatec contractor style table saw with a sliding table section. I replaced the sliding...

here's a photo of the box with much better handles. Looks morein proportion I think...

Guys,

I want to add an air compressor to my workshop and am wonderingwhat size to get. I really only want to use it for cleaning purposes (blow gun) and maybe spray painting, bradding and small...

Hi...

Scroll compressors are VERY common! The compressors on all modern refrigerators, domestic/light commercial air condirioners, car air conditioners are all of the scroll type. There's...

Hi kcam...

I agree entirely about the drawer pulls being too big for this box. I's been bugging from the start and I'm going to replace them with much smaller ones... Thanks for the thoughts...
...

Hi all!

I had a need (read instruction from my better half!) to tidy up my mess of CD's so I put this together... It measures 405w x 295h x 255 d and was made from Tassie Hardwood with the drawer...

Hear, hear!!! It's real nice to have heaps of toys!

I also have a small collection of really fine hand tools - many of which I use rarely - and it's such a pleasure to pick up a fine bit of...

Thanks for all the suggestions guys!

I've decided not going upmarket - certainly not to the Lamello or the Festool Domino as there's no way I can justify that sort of outlay! Certainly not for the...

Oh... I quite agree!!! It's a magnificent machine - and ideal if, as you say, you're in a small knock-down furniture/cabinet business (e.g. Kitchen Cabinets). But for the rare occasion that I want to...

OUCH!!!! that's as much as the Festool system! :no:

mmm I don't think so....

Thanks anyway....

Rob

Thanks for the heads up Chris!

I've just had a look at the web data and it's a very cool system! I'm trying to find out a price for it but I suspect somehow that it's going to be rather pricey!...

Hi Damien...

You're quite right of course about the 32" vs 25" positioners and of course the larger one is more versatile. I haven't noticed and "short comings" with my 25" unit though.

Also,...

Hi Nick...

I've mounted mine on the Incra LS table saw fence system (see photo). I just measured it and from the look of it (and the way I've got it set up) I can easily handle up to 900mm or so...

Thanks for the advice guys... The Makita certainly looks like a better deal than the unit I've got....

Rob

Yeah, I saw the reviews for the P&C unit as well. Haven't seen the Makita one though.... Any idea where I can find one?

Rob

I have an old Archer (Carbatec) biscuit joiner that I've been wanting to replace for some time now. I don't want to go for Ryobi, Ozito or other cheap types nor can I afford the Festool version. So...

I have both! Best move I ever made! They are light weight, small and compact and last forever! Yet they have more than sufficient power.

I've initially bought a large Metabo unit (a great bit of...
