OK, these were always going before the VFD not after.
If the GPO is on a fuse breaker already, how can adding one damage or destroy the VFD?
Also, if this is the case why are they instructed to be...

447102OK, that's odd, since the manual (install page attached) clearly shows the need for a fuse, circuit breaker and EMI filters?
The other question is what effect would adding these have to the...

Thanks BobL and Neil.
For what I do I have decided to go with a 1.5kW motor as the 0.75 I have now has never been an issue so 1.5 with a VFD should be well worth the investment.
On a second...

Absolutely beautiful. As mentioned above, some information on how you did the fine detail would be great.

Very nice work. I think you have inspired me to give this a try in my next project.

Thanks Paul
The Kilian look exactly the same as the easy wood tools and certainly are much cheaper.

Have you had any experience with using them?

Thanks Neil
I will certainly look into it

Hi Benno
I have the PM2000 and it is a great machine. Yes it is more expensive, but look around and you might find it cheaper.

It might be a better dies to stop the dust getting into the air first, rather than using one of these after the fact as it is too late. The volume of air you would need to filter to get rid...

Hi Nathan
Yes from the site it is only the cyclone, a motor would be needed. The 1Hp would work, whether it would give enough suction not sure, but it would have to be better than a standard DC.

Hi All

Hi All
Does anyone know where I can buy some veneered particleboard in Adelaide?

Also any idea of price for say 16mm thick sheeting with a "standard" veneer

Thanks

Thanks Dangermouse

Does anyone have the number for the Adelaide store. The number quoted on the website is for a competitor :doh:

Thanks

Wolfie
I agree. Our initial quote has been for 8-9,000 for a very simple kitchen setup, which is part of the reason my wife is keen for me to make it.

The Blum drawers are going to feature...

Hi Wolfie
I am at North Plympton. At this stage I would need 15-20 pairs but that is not an exact figure. I am still trying to decide whether I should build the kitchen or have it made?

Cheers

Does anyone know of an online store where these types of drawer runners can be bought?

Thanks Wolfie
Out of curiosity what do you pay for the Blum products?

Does he export to SA?

Thanks

Kekemo
Can you post a picture or some more details of where I can find this unit, I had a look at triton and had no luck? Perhaps a code number or something similar.

Thanks

Woodcraft has one for $35, but I doubt it would work here?

ANy sparkies out there have a similar solution?

My only problem is that I have sand in the back yard, so I might need to lay some solid flooring for the pallet truck.
