Looks like it's been taken.

Saw this while browsing Gumtree for MDF. No association with the "seller".
Will need a ute or trailer that can take a 1-tonne pallet.

i bought a 6m length of the 150mm pipe yesterday. The guy serving me was friendly and happy to cut the pipe into 2m lengths (the maximum I can fit in my car) without charging extra. I asked whether...

Thanks Tonto. Is the site: Pipe Online - Retic Fittings , Plumbing Fittings, Reticulation Supplies supplied Australia wide (no "s")?

Hi Tonto,

I may be interested in a length. I have just managed to find a second-hand Hafco DC3 (2HP) which I would like to mod to take 150mm pipe, but 100mm will suit some of the smaller tools. It...

I might as well make this thread a "log" of what's happening in case it's of use to someone else in the future (doubtful, but who knows?).

After doing some research I was all set to by the...

Thanks Ian. No specific questions. I was just wondering if the larger impeller and the different mounting arrangement would make a noticeable difference when it came to air flow. I expect that unless...

Hi Delbs, have you taken delivery of your Woodfast? If so, any feedback?

I am looking for a 3HP unit, and since I'm in Adelaide I am tossing up between a Ledacraft model (~$600) or the Woodfast....

Just in case anyone has been holding off buying one of these, Ebay currently has 10% off items over $150. That brought the cost of the 12" fan down to just under $200.

I ended buying one of the units you suggested. I also bought at PMS7003 sensor for comparison. I have a few Arduinos sitting around that I should be able to use to decode the readings and maybe even...

Thanks for the suggestions. While I can see the advantages of a 3-phase+VFD, I think the learning-curve is too steep for me at this stage. I'd prefer to get something off-the-shelf that works "out of...

Hi Tonto,

I believe this is the type of fan BobL suggests: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Centrifugal-Exhaust-Inline-Duct-Fan-Quality-Grow-Tent-Room-Ventilation-Blower/282513482714

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your quick reply.



Yes, thanks to your other posts I am well aware that you "don't get what you pay for" when it comes to dust extractors.

Overview of main machines and proposed modifications

Table saw – mount in custom workbench on castors. Replace current saw enclosure with one suited to 6” exhaust port. Use shop-vac for top blade...

Proposed setup

General consensus seems to be to aim for 3HP dust extractor with 6” ducting. I am leaning towards: https://www.ledamachinery.com.au/leda_product/dc-2200-3hp-dust-extractor-2200cfm/...

Hi All,

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to these forums, greatly increasing my understanding (or confusion?) of dust collection. After spending many hours reading posts here and Bill...

Thanks Graeme. My problem has been finding anyone to even quote, but your point about the importance of independent brokers is taken.

I have since received one quote but it's rather high, so I...

Thanks, I will contact them.

Thanks for your suggestion. I should have mentioned that I have spoken to a number of brokers. The one that specialised in workshop/farm insurance was initially positive that he could help, but after...

Hi All,

I recently bought a block of land with an existing shed on it. I want to set it up for woodworking, but currently can't get insurance for it or its contents.
The problem is that I don't...

Hi, just giving an update.

I managed to score an old scroll saw on Gumtree. A "Woodman" JS-026 built in 1995.

Pros: solid and heavy with a big cast-iron table. Takes pin-less blades.
Cons: no...

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll certainly consider it.
I have a jeweller's saw for metal which is similar, and agree it cuts surprisingly quickly.

Thanks also for the links, I'll have a look...

I've discovered another available locally (my preference is local as it is easier to swap/refund if it turns out to be a lemon), a Record SS16V for $198...

Hi, my name is Michael. I live in suburban Adelaide.

I signed up to this forum many years ago, but haven't been active due to young kids.
Now that they are older I am starting to be able to do...

Hi All,

I have been thinking of getting a scroll saw for a while, but it was not in my budget until now.
I would welcome suggestions of the best value-for-money saw under $250.
I realise that...
