Well Silver is nothing to be sneezed at ;) Thanks jow104 - I also award you a greenie for you efforts as a consolation prize.

It is a very proprietry part of my wholey home made dust extration system - its an old Magi Powered Stock container that I got from SWMBO! They make resonable connectors for small dust pipes. ;)

Here some photos of my home made router table.

I used a 6 mm plate of aluminium for the table top, some off cuts of pine and some bits of a solid core MDF door for the table top supports, some...

If you have all the bits, it takes about 10 minutes to make one, not sure how long it takes you to buy your knobs, but I bet it would be a little slower than 10 minutes, including delivery time...
...

Ah - maybe if I could find such knobs for a $1.00 then I might consider them - but then again I have the pleasure of knowing I made most of my jig - and the knobs were fun to make. :-)

Since...

Thank you for you kind remarks - I have had some fun writing the threads, and making the contraptions. Somewhere along the line I will actually start making something like tables and...

This is weird - I was cleaning the shed last night, as I do at then of every day, if I don't put the tools away at the very least it will become a nightmare, and I was wondering if a poll to see how...

Thanks hexbaz - not what I was thinking at all.

Rocker - how much force do you need to apply in your jigs? :eek:

These knobs are very strong! As you turn them the MDF compresses against the washer trapped inside it, thus increasing the...

P.S. Whats a "Greenie" anyway? Doesn't sound too nice.

Ok - first of all I would like to let you all know how hard it was for me not to make a huge number of jokes based on how many knobs there are in this particular thread! :p

Now for the real stuff...

Thanks Bob - You might want to re-read the instructions as I have edited them - added some more text to try to make them read better, and explain things clearer.

Just a rough bit of bush joinery here!

This is how well it works, I have been using the dual cyclone for a week, and have vacumed, and sawed quit a bit of dust. I bought new filters, and a new bag for the Vax. The photos tell the story...

The big bin get most of it, the little bottle gets just about everything else. The dust in the bottle is like photocopier toner, and actually appears floats in the bottom of the bottle. I tried to...

These pictures show various parts of the dual cyclone, as it is taken apart.

Note: the last picture shows the mini turbine drilled into the 65 mm end-cap. I have modified my design a number of...

Instructions

1. Cut the length of 25 mm PVC pipe in half (2 x 250 mm length approx)

2. Cut the 65 mm PVC pipe to 400 mm

3. Cut a 10 mm length of 65 mm PVC pipe from the waste

4. Cut the...

Materials:

(Note – the pipe sizes 150 mm, 100 mm, and 65 mm are the marked sizes, and the pipes are sold this size, but the inside diameters appear to be a little larger – I am not sure why this...

Here is follow up on my first thread, where I talked about my dual cyclone dust extractor. I have vastly improved the design, and also been able to simplify it as well. I have quite a few pictures so...

Not a local name, just my name for the type of draft tape I bought from Bunnies.



Sorry to miss your post I have been busy lately. In the shed, much to SWMBO's disgust!



I call the...

What about your 2 year warranty? Didn't keep your receipt did you? ;)

Here's what I do - get your SWMBO to use Continental Powered Stock - mine goes through the stuff like it was "powered stock" - I get one of these every other week or so - and you have yourself a...

Smidy - why not aluminium?

I bought a sheet of 600 x 500 x 6 mm from Robert Cameron & Co. - 96 Goodwood Pde Burswood WA 6100 (08) 9361-2533. They cut it square for me while I waited.

Goodwood...

Thumbs are an imperial measurement. I am too young to use such an old fashioned unit. I use the more accurate metric Digit scale; that being the case, does anyone now how to convert from Thumbs to...

I know what you mean - I needed a good jack-plane, and didn't want to part with $125.00 for a new Stanley No 5 - they had about 6 or 7 No 5 planes going for about $75.00, two No 5 1/2 planes for...

I will be going on Staurday morning with SWMBO, my mother, and rugrats, so I am not sure if I will be able to stay till lunch time. But I will look out for the name tags as I potter around. I can get...

I know the area, you would know the name of the place? Is he over the railway line, otherside to Bunning? Or in the shops where Toolmart is, which is opposite Bunnings?

If you don't know I will...

Then again - I didn't read you post so well $559.00 is a fantastic price - I wonder if Timbecon will try to match it - is it a one off - or did you push for a early show special? - at least I get a...

You are right - in Perth Carbatec have had to match the Timbecon price - that is not the case in the East - so yes I believe we both got bargains due to the price - what warranty and horsepower does...

I would if I wanted a 10 mm blade, but I was looking for a 16 mm anyway - just that I would have preferred a 3 tooth, as I am going to be resawing some thick jarrah, and quite a bit of it. (When I...

Anyone thinking of a bandsaw couldn't go too wrong with a BAS-350 from Timbecon.

I have had one for 4 weeks now, and I am very happy with it.

The bearings on the guides need to be replaced with...

Does anyone know if there is a trick working out the size of the width of a bandsaw blade?

I ask because I just bought a 10 mm x 4 point blade from Timbecon, but when I got home, and measured it,...

My wife finds the shed too hot in summer and too cold in winter. She complained about dust getting into her boxes of stuff she had stored in there, so I moved it all out, reclaiming the 2 meters of...

Argg! - if SWMBO got any more space in my 6 x 6 meter shed I would have to buy a new shed - she already claimed 0.5 x 2 meters of valuable floor space for her work materials and thats where I want to...

Hi Forum Members

I am new Perth member, and would like to share some discoveries in the world of Dust Extraction.

Has anyone experimented with a Dynson style dual cyclone dust extractor - this...
