They are about 400mm dia.

I have a corded saw, table saw, and CMS so its only for when I can't be bothered with plugging something in:)

Hi guys,

I have the Milwaukee M18 cordless system. It’s a few yearsold. Since then they have come out with M18 XC, and M18 fuel.

I want a metric set 1 to 13mm

i bought the Ozito eletric stapler for a small job i was doing. I was nailign vinyl into plywod. Worked great. no jamming, no problems. For the price, its hard to beat

thanks guys,

my plan is too move all the stuff out of the garage into the shed, and then make the garage the workshop, but i was worried if everyhting is going to end up getting ruined in the...

Hi guys,

i am planning on getting a tin shed, something around 3x4m. like a Stratco, Abesco style of thing.
Just wondering how good they are for storage. I know it wouldn't be completely wind...

i have recently been looking at doing a similar sort of thing for a fish tank cabinet too, but in gloss white.

the best option would be for a kitchen cabinet maker to do it in poly. The best...

I am think u will be very happy with ur purchase. I found the 1 bit holder odd too when i bought mine. It just doesn't look finished off with a spare threaded hole sitting there.
Anyway i got from...

:-gotcha! u were referring to cement bags!!

not sure that is right. Should be 1 cubic metre (m³) requires 108 x 20kg of premixed bagged concrete

:?

I was after the exact same kit at last years Syd show. I eneded up with the Milwaukee 18v kit. It came down to that or dewalt. The Makita deals were a waste time.

I am not sure what the MJ is like, but when i bought my 10HB i was comparing it with a cheaper Hafco model (similar to the MJ), and the 10HB had a much more solid tunion, and triple drive belts. The...

Hey guys,

i am currently in the process of planning my new shed :D:D
I am looking for something around 4.5mx 3.5 to 6x3m. It will mainly be used for storage, to clear out my garage, but i am...

I remember reading somewhere that our orange AEG tools are the same as the Rigid tools in the US. (possibly one of the reasons AEG went orange?)

I too have the basic v27 infra. I love it. Very acurate and easy to use.

The doors were stacked vertically. just leaning against a wall. There is no evdience of acitivity anymore. The dust felt smooth, not gritty.

Thanks guys.
The doors are not delicate items. i got them off a furniture supplier, and i was just kept them to use as cupboard doors for garage storage one day. I will definitly chuck the 2 doors...

thanks guys.
so if they are boring out, how did they get in? how do i kill them?
worried they will eat my other timber, or my house! :oo::(

Hi guys,
I have about 10 of these wooden doors sitting in the garage. i pull them out on the weekend, and 2 of them had all of this little holes in them. It has clearly been bored by some sort of...

Great choice. There are alot of good packages around that price range, so it is definitly hard to choose!

now u will want to just find screws to put in so u can use ur driver! :)

here are a few combo's
MILWAUKEE CORDLESS TOOLS - Great Saving - VEK TOOLS

I bought it at the Wood Working show through VEK, but the extra battery was a promo Milwaukee was running at the time....

just to throw a spanner in the works I have the Milwaukee M18 combo but with 3ah batteries. I got a 1,5ah batter thrown in as a promo at the time. I bought it 6 months ago and love it. They are...

JUst drove past the Narellen (Sydney) Masters this morning, and saw a big NOW OPEN sign! gonna go check it out at lunch time!

yeah i have noticed that difference too. I figure it was related what the discahrge capcities of the batteries

Mine is the C18PD-32C, i think its just the hammer drill version of your drill.

I have a milwaukee M18 impact driver and a hammer drill. They came with 3ah batteries, but the guy also gave me a 1.5ah battery. they are all interchangable.

HI recently bought the Miwaukee M18 cordless hammer drill and impact driver set. I love them. Very powerful and great to use.

I also have a bosch blue cordless drill. its about 6 or 7 years old...

Yeah i have been using a cordless drill for drive screws for many years. i recently just bought am impact driver (Milwaukee M18) and i am loving it. So light, compact, yet so powerful.

I recently bought a Milwaukee M18 hammer drill and impact driver. I am loving it. Very well made drills, and beautiful to use.

Carnes Hill (syd) still had a few vacs left, and on clearance for $69!!:oo::((

and here i was rushing out to get one thinking it would sell out fast!!

With impact drivers, once it start rattling does that mean its at max torque?

I have the Dewalt one, but the previous model, which is mostly the same.

Great saw, very acurate.

More tools starting on the 23th June....
ALDI - special buys from thurs 23 jun - hurry, limited stocks in store*

:2tsup:

that's what i was thinking about the space underneath too. run the dusty ducting out through the floor and then have a little cuboard outside to sit the dusty in.

:2tsup:

is there some sort of overload protection on the vac power output?

wouldn't the router or saw exceed the 1400w?

:cool:

good idea laying plastic/aircell down under the floorboards.

now just need to suss out who to get the shed from!

:cool::2tsup:

I know concrete is ideal. My back yard it tiered with levels. so it would be up 3 steps, then another 8 steps, then another 2 levels each of 2 steps. there is are fair climb to get to the back, hence...

i will look into the Duragal. I guess i figured if it was on stirrups, off the ground it would help weather proofing it. The earthworks side of things, i am not worried about. i am happy to make it...

Hi guys,

I am currently planning my new shed. It will be around 6x3m tin shed (maybe Stratco). Still researching which supplier. I have a sloped backyard (sloping up hill), and very difficult...

I have that same battery. from memory it;'s jsut a plastic cap, with the screw underneath. I just drilled out the plastic:2tsup:

I have a 10HB TS and a 10in Dewalt CMS (not sliding). I love the combo. The big plus with the CMS is u can easily and dock long lengths of timber, its portable, and quick to set up. Long lengths of...

I must express my slight dissapointment with the show. It seems each year the exhibitors get less and less. Missing Bosch, HItachi, Ryobi, Dremel (from memory it was all part of a big Gasweld...

thanks for the heads up.

surely more people look after their TS!!

Hi guys,

i am planning to do a bit on maintanence work on my 10HB TS. What sort of things do i need to do?
what sort or grease or lube should i use for the worm gears, etc?
