Model, The problem I have is that this machine does not have any stops like other machines. (do I make my own)?
I have tried US and EU/UK sites...

Hi,
I have scoured the net looking for the manual and to no avail,
If you could send me a copy also ,or perhaps put it on the forum to be downloaded I would be extremely grateful.

Thanks anyway...

Know the feeling, I had a table I was doing as a favour for a neighbour out of recycled hardwood. Looked good in the end but there were times I wished I had not started it.
Your table looks good, a...

Very nice, clean lines with a simple elegant appearance.

I have mentioned this before on another subject, I have had occasion to remove quite a few nails and have found that you need purchase and something that is flat enough to grab the head.
I...

Sorry to disagree guys but lately I had a garden blower/vac that one of the handles broke on, I rang Bunnies but they told me to go direct to GMC. Rang GMC a nice lady asked for a copy of the receipt...

Wouldn't want to make a mistake, Ouch!!!. I'm sure we are all getting madder by the day.

Looks great Chris, Nice job.

This looks great!!, I saw on the painted pics that there was no support for the centre posts, then on a later post I see that there should have been castors on them. Did you find that they...

Go to bunnies and order one via them, I was told by one of the weekenders there today that the power switch is worth about $25.00, and he buys them for other machinery in his work shop,

Have fun.

Guys, two things to answern your questions, as of today I have done a search on the triton home page, in the "Frequently asked questions" it states that most parts are still available for the Mk3 and...

That must have some wild jam up, most important thing is that you did not get hurt (this time), My dear son has access to all sorts of scrap steel and some machines to shape them. He presented me...

Im surprised you guys still have hearing, with the machines runing I would have to turn the volume up, I don't want to become the bloke down the road that makes all that racket. besides I like to...

Hey Skew, Dusty did say they were 205 at his local store, if this is the case then your store has to match it less 10% which ends up to be $184.50. thats a bit better than $220 your quoted price....

Taking the wife???

Sssshh Pauliev, don't go upsetting the Missusses that may be looking over the old mans shoulder, I have to say that I have no such complaint,:-),
It was the Wife that...

There is an MDF supplier in Cannon Hill Brissy that will cut to size but you have to ring and order if there is a lot of cuts, also Mr Ply has a monster machine for cutting up sheets and they also...

Just slipped into the kitchen to measure ours, I built them as per normal and the top of the beches is 920mm to the very top. We are both fairly average height and this suits both of us. A chopping...

Hes pissing in the wind. :rolleyes:

If he is not your next door neighbour then the noise factor could not be that great. I also live in brissy and have a highset Queenslander with...

Adam,
The can should say what solvent you can use to thin the paint/sealer, leave the brush soak in that solvent for a liottle while to soften the paint then use a wire brush to comb the rubbish...

Greg,
I had this problem some time ago and asked the same question, I could see daylight through the spaces. after a bit of searching and contacting the caulking companies I went this way.
I...

For my 2 penneth, if this is an old house you are restoring then use battens, also for ceilings make sure you get "superceil", it is made for ceilings and is more rigid than wall sheets.

Removing the wet rings on your already restored pieces, try a warm to hot iron with a pad of cloth between the wood and the iron, this will tend to lift the damp ring out of the timber finish, also...

Hi guys, I have restored the chair, this was my first attempt at restoration of furniture. pics are attached (I think). there is still some paint marks in the fibres of the seat that would not come...

Just to clarify, I have the Email sent as a reply to me from digitrex apologising for the delay in supply of parts. the return address was Digitrex support "[email protected]", so the repairer...

Saw a doco recently, apparently the yanks only started to drive on the right hand side of the road to be different,(independence and all that) then the French followed the idiots because the were not...

Hi guys, I am a bit Pssst off at the moment with a tv/dvd/vcr company called Digitrex. So I am putting this on the web to warn you unsuspecting persons that the company has almost no parts supply in...

I would not go further than 2.4 mtrs (8ft), and that is only because you are useing a top rail/hand rail. I have a raised deck and when being built I insisted in mid posts in the centre of a 3.5...

You could try danish wax, it must surely be compatable with the oil.

Thanks guys, as it happens the lady that gave me the chair is visiting before she goes south tomorrow so I was able to show her your responses.

Much appreciated :)

I have used Hoop to build some furniture and I used "Yellow" PVA glue, I am led to believe it is stronger than the usual white stuff, Weldbond professional glue, you can even get it at Bunnies these...

You can prime/undercoat the walls with a paint called 3in1 sealer, it sticks to shiny surfaces and will give you a base for a colour on the top.
I have a timber house and have recently finished...

Wax it, if you don't put some sort of sealer on the wood it will warp even more, also which in this case is probably more important, it will change colour over time, as it is hard wood it will...

This question would interest furniture restorers (maybe).
I have been given an old dining chair that a friend did not wish to take to her new place.
It is made of Silky oak, I believe it was...

Yes, I have turned avocado and it is a nice wood to turn, however don't let it get too dry or it produces a lot of dust, It is one of the few woods that will retain its bark in places for a feature,...

Very nice job, you should be proud of this.
Taffy :)

Whos going to notice the gap, How many partys do you have in your BEDROOM :p :p :p

First thing I would say is that I agree with Bazza.
Stop using attachments and get a specific tool for the job, I gave up on attachments in the days of the 6'' B&D kit.
As for 4'' grinders, a mate...

It appears from your already purchased items that you do mostly wood work. A band saw would be my next choice but a drill press is also Veeery handy.
I have both, bought them at a working with...

First thing I would do is toss the standard blade in a cupboard until you need to cut firewood and get yourself a decent blade 40 or even 60 teeth, the blade that comes with the saw has got dragons...

I have a 5hp Rover shredder that I have been using for around 20 years. I used it on acreage and shredded every thing from Bark, fallen branches and even dry horse manure , that was a great trick, a...

Thanks to all you guys'
Gumpy, it seems that the slip slop method has worked, I cleaned the table with metho and then sprayed a little silicon, put a piece of flooring through with just a fine cut...

Nice layout.
Why is everyone so worried about the noise your machines make, look on the positive side.
No one can say that the bloke next door is a lazy so and so that doesnt do anything, and...

Thanks guys, just some clarification please
I have cleaned the tray with metho and will try some wax before I get into more serious stuff. Gumpy can you tell me what wax is best to use? I have...

Thanks Mick, the rollers are Metal front Gnarled, and the rear one is rubber.

I will wax the table next and see if this cures it, I still think that there is some connection with those sprung...

Hi guys, I have been away for a while on account I had a run in with my saw bench, I now hahe two fingers slightly shorter than they were but semm to be ok.
I have a problem with my Thicknesser in...

Mick, what did you end up buying? I have been looking into hafco, same machine less money. There is a 6" Planer PT-160 with a 1210mm bed for $489. probably a bit late for you but if you have one of...

Thanks guys, Gumpy do you have a Carbatec ML 392? they are chinese so I would need convincing that they were not all show and rubbish. Carbatec also have aPT-260 this has a 3hp motor, only 2 blades...

Rocker, I had a similar dilema once when I wanted to shape the axle of a horse drawn vehicle. I was advised then to use my 4" grinder, I went to K.Mart and bought a sanding kit to suit the grinder...

All you guys out there that have had experince with Planer/Thicnessers, I am in need of advice. I have it mind that a new toy for my toy shop would be most useful. I started off thinking I needed a...
