Thanks. Found it.

There is a CNC burner that's not a laser thus appears to have fantastic gradient control. But it's obviously only greyscale rather than colour. There was a Russian (I think, don't shoot me if he was...

Have looked through settings but can't see any such feature. I'd use it if available, but no major if it's not. Just wondering.

Thanks for that post. It looks like the cyclone is very similar if not identical to one available on aliexpress that I posted an image of recently. This thread has allowed me to join a few dots. It's...

wow, that's one heck of a change in flow. Given the cyclone I pictured above has a 5" inlet it'll be interesting to see if it chokes things up too much. Sounds like it will. I think I'll build...

I received the PM, do not think the criticism therein is helpful, but for the record, I am thankful for the replies, have thanked others in this thread and don't appreciate the suggestion I have not...

So, I found and bought a used single phase 2HP Holytek double bagger and I'm wondering whether or not to get or make a cyclone separator, which I can park in a corner of the shed and just exhaust out...

This thread might be of some use. I just bought a leigh jig also, but have makita routers and have just received the kit I linked to in the thread below. You've have to check if it fits your router...

That set I ordered arrived today. On the packaging is a list of routers it is supposed to fit. Interestingly, it does not mention either of my Makita routers but I'm confident it will fit both, but...

If you can get a chance to run both, go for it. Even if just in the showroom. If the vibes from the sb12 are not a concern in practice, I'd probably save some bucks and grab that. I didn't get the...

And here I was thinking this forum topic was the one place I'm happy to admit bigger is better. Foiled again. On our dominant online marketplace, trademe, I've been watching the dusty listings and...

Darn it, you Ozzies get some good deals we don't get here in NZ. Here's a $110 dusty in Rutherford on gumtree.

Hope this isn't too good to be true for someone:

Price was good. Time will tell whether it was good value though. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001A0YCOY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 For about the same price, I could have...

At the rate things are going, I'll have to buy at least an ammeter and make incremental changes one at a time and read what the motor is telling me. i think this dust collection part of this forum...

There is that, thanks.

On a different note, given this will be going outside the shed, why don't I save myself a bunch of time and possibly some money, and just buy a 3hp or more double-bagger...

My apologies to anyone here who already knew about this one and was hoping to keep it on the down low. For everyone else looking, especially those in Victoria, here's one of those holytek models up...

Thanks fellas. Will have to do more reading, learning, looking around. Hopefully will find a bargain on the suckyMota, because I don't think the whole system is going to be cheap by the time the dust...

Having read through much of Bill Pentz' website I went online in search of 3+hp blowers. The 3HP blowers seem to have about 12" impellers, rather than the 14" the site suggests. Anyone else noticed...

Thanks for the nod to Bill Pentz' website. I went there briefly earlier today and was blown away with the infor he has learned and shared. So many things to learn, so little time, but made time to...

Well, that explains it then.

Surprised if it is still available: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/armidale/power-tools/hafco-dc-6-dust-collector/1153194443

Thanks for that dai sensei. It looks like a great solution in line with what I was hoping to acheive. I mean, why fuff about with a filter and micron bags if can get it all out the back of the shed...

Yes. Both are back/flat sawn. Neither is quarter sawn.

Does this mean a 6000% price hike is imminent?

How about an 80L drum with lid instead of the bag?

Hmm, was thinking separator before the suckyMotor and the latter having an open exhaust. I'd need to experiment with the separator to see if it would get good enough separation and still eject the...

Thanks Bob. Am I somewhere near about right to try for about 1000cfm at the machine? If so, and I'm using 6" everywhere, and assume a 50% loss through hopelessly mismatched components, then a...

Hi all,

All the cyclone separators I've looked at dump the dust into a bucket or bin in a sealed manner, and the air flow gets sucked into a filter or the like before exhausted. I'm...

Thanks Superbunny. Have only had time to watch the DVD, which was very helpful. Had to collect my new thicknesser and table saw yesterday, so haven't had the time with the jig as I had hoped, yet....

Not all inserts are like that though. I was thinking about doing so with the inserts on my T13S, that only have two sharp edges and the other two are square (which register against a ledge in the...

What about if they are set into a backing plate of sorts so they are all well-indexed and sharpened as if a solid knife? That's where I was going with my previous comment. Much easier to keep a...

You know, I was wondering this just the other day. If it was worth making up a wee holder that the inserts could be screwed into to run them across my blade grinder when they dulled.

OK, I'll bite. The biggest safety feature attached to a chainsaw is the top 6" of the person operating it.
A safe operator has no problem with a saw lacking a chain brake. An unsafe operator is...

Looks like a bit of weekend reading and shed time is on the cards. Just as well I made an advance booking. https://www.woodworkforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=415833&d=1499379345 415833

That's good to know. Ta.

Good idea, thanks for sharing it. Did you plane a small curve in the arms like the instructable suggested or have you found they mate flat under pressure anyway?

That's one busy smurf!
I'm happy to pay travel, meals, accommodation and fair remuneration once he has finished your build, if he wants a working holiday across the ditch.

Whilst I do appreciate the comments and advice regarding jigs, and learned more about alternatives along the way, I've stumped for a Leigh D4R pro and a few extras and will post a few comments and...

Maybe a local Lucas Mill operator has the planer and/or sander attachments?

Belt sander races are fun.:D

Thanks for the 18v advice, which I will keep in mind if I try the trim router on dovetails (was mainly for little edge/corner reliefs, setting door hinges, etc). Is timely advice too, because I...

Looked at a few Incra videos. Boy some of that incra gear looks almost surgical. I need a router table now? That means a bigger shed. S'pose I could buy an extension on the table saw but again, not...

That's good to know, thanks, because I just scraped in before the deadline too but my one is on backorder so might be a week or two before using it. In case you haven't read it, sje-tools.com is the...

Thanks. I'll hunt down a few Incra videos.

Hi all, What was the general consensus on the Leigh dovetail jig? Expensive, no doubt, but it looks versatile and the results seem impressive.

Send a photo of that roof plane brace to pryda, mi-tek and ask if it meets their installation guidelines. For some people, meeting the building code is the be all and end all. For others it's just...

Thanks for nuth'n fellas. For that, I'm not telling you what I bought. So there.

:D

Sale ends today, but will need a sled for the veneers:

If Timbecon send me a unit, I'll review it for 'em and post the review back on here.:D
