I have one of these beasts, bought sometime in the 90's.

It's a half-inch collet, not sure if you can get other sizes to suit, but reducers are easy to come by for 1/2 down to 1/4 or 8mm, 6mm,...

I picked up the Leigh D4R Pro (plus DE attachment) a few years ago, and a DeWalt D26204K-XE to go with it. That suffix on the model number means it comes with plunge *and* fixed based attachments,...

Thanks malb, wood spirit.

I'd originally pondered trying some DIY with this thing, or just replacing almost all of it, but the AU$20 sunk cost .. well, that's not terribly compelling, I concede.

Thanks Chief.

I spent a while trawling through that thread - quite the ride, lots of ups and downs, but sounds like the final conclusion is at ~$90 (eg. Hand Trimmer Router Palm Laminate Compact...

Thanks Treecycle.

I see locally (bunnings) Ryobi has a 400W model at $99 that looks remarkably similar, though the specific EVT400K model seems to not be sold any longer.

Greetings,

Actually, my problem may be described in two different ways.

I bought a rinky dinky clear bracket + aluminium saddle that's designed to let you route on the narrow edge of a board. ...

Mobyturns - those are some spectacular resources, thank you. Bookmarked for future reference.

I've put some of the thinner sections aside now, up to 50mm thick. The bark is quite thin, so I'm...

Thanks DJ - yeah, aspects of it really do make me think acacia, but some features, the multi-stem for example, speak against that.

We've been trawling the net this evening, and think we might have...

Greetings brains trust,

I've got a few of these growing, and hadn't paid much attention to them. They're pretty scrubby, drought and frost tolerant, seem to get to about 4m tall or so,...

Thanks Bushmiller, Rustynail,

It's pretty humid in the Hunter, so I'm hoping that reduces drying shock, and indeed I have low expectations around crotch timber (glad to know the terminology there...

Thanks Wood Collector & rustynail -- due to woeful weather and worse time management I still haven't gotten out there to rip it. I assume the high humidity is helping it cure more gently. Let's say...

Thanks Log Dog,

Yeah, I'm not anticipating it'll be easy or fun. It's why I'm pondering to go quite large slabs with the chainsaw mill, and gift future-Jedd the challenge of trying to re-saw them...

Greetings,

I felled a grey gum yesterday, that had a large fork about 1.5m up. I'd dropped one side of that fork a month or so ago, and this cut was as close to the base as I could get, so I took...

Thanks EagerBeaver, Havabeer -- I bought the mobile base from Harvey, but it was only about $200, so I'm happy to put that aside I guess and built a custom rubber-castor option. I like the idea of...

Greetings,

I'll be putting together my new toy - a Harvey 110 - early in the new year. (Much rejoicing, etc etc : )

I've three questions around the mobile wheel unit (the MB 600 Universal...

Howdi - been lurking a while, every year or two reviewing this community's feelings on Harveys (mostly), and then sadly realising I have neither space nor budget for a stonking big cabinet saw.
...

Hi Phil,

I occasionally look fondly towards adverts for the HW110LGE-xx model table saw -- is this series replacing those?

The JPG comparison page you shared doesn't mention that model...

What Texx said. Though I'm probably not quite so cynical as he. ;)

Do you know what type of olives? A lot of the bank manager types that Texx refers to are reacting to the huge interest in...

Mark,

Limes - as I say, best of citrus, but not necessarily best fruit to grow in any given region. I got excited about them a while ago partly as a novelty fruit, partly because they (like most...

Hi Mark (et al)

My place is in the Hunter, NSW - rainfall's about the same as yours, but quite variable (we didn't have any rain at all for two years, and last June we had a third of our annual...

My 2c worth on this one - is to recommend you use selvedge wires, as suggested by David. I usually use 2.5 or 2.85 HT fencing wire. And then staple the hinge/ring lock to the selvedge wires.
