I need to replace the blade cover on a borrowed Ozito SMCS-1812 mitre saw. Happy to pay a reasonable price for a complete unit as it will be useful for spares. Melbourne are much preferred.

I have recently made a chess board (540 x 540mm) using Aus hardwoods (redgum and grey box) for the borders and squares with the squares glued onto a substrate of 7mm plywood. However, it has warped...

I have a Carbatec 14" bandsaw (25 yo) and had it set up very nicely ie straight and smooth cuts. I changed the blade to a 13mm 6 tpi (band new, straight out of the packing) and I now experience...

Thank you Don.

I have made a fence for my 14" bandsaw and wish to fit it with two magnets (magswitch or similar). Magswitch Magjig has devices of varying strengths - 60, 95, 150 + others. My preference is to use...

Many thanks, Jim. Does the same apply to attachments other than the arbortech eg recommended for 100 & 115 mm?

Recently I bought an AEG 125mm angle grinder and I am now discovering how versatile the little beast can be. I am also a wood turner and can see the potential for using the angle grinder to remove...

Neil,

Let me clarify. I am looking for a Melbourne supplier of Mexican wood where I can go and collect it. Next preference is an Australian supplier not in Melbourne provided freight costs are...

Can someone tell me where I can acquire (buy or scrounge) small quantities of Mexican wood. colour is not important. I am thinkig about making chessboards and turning chessmen for my kids and one is...

Hello folks,

I have an old Tanner FS100 lathe that is a solid as a rock. It is fitted with an outboard spindle but I do not have the accessories to do outboard turning.

The spindle is 1-3/6"...
