Thanks thumbsucker

I looked at doing that and a few other ways. In the end I decided I just wasn't happy with using the TS at all and even the bandsaw was a bit iffy. I looked at a few hold downs...

Gregorys told me when I bought mine a few weeks back that they sold about 300 SUV's in 2013....you sell to 1/3 these owners for 20 bucks and you've paid for yours :2tsup: I might be one of them...

Hi All,

I recently resawed some rosewood from a large 250x50 piece. I have got 3 boards 15mm thick x 170 wide that will eventually be 12mm thick. Not surprisingly they all cupped a bit but one has...

Cheers guys, sounds like a good thing and I have ordered one :)

Hi all,

I'm looking at the vacuum bag system Carbatec sell and wondering if it's any good? Currently I make a veneer "sandwich" between 18mm mdf and lots of clamps.

I ordered this saw and blade combo from Gregorys this week and I asked them that very question....answer....Henry Brothers. When my credit card recovers I intend on buying a second blade so I can...

@ Pete, thanks for the detailed response. Yep the planed face is flat and the same piece of timber with a 3tpi blade no issues. I have tried your other suggestions and normally run the blade back a...

Looks great and that saw is at the top of my want (need?) list. That looks like the standard fence....how would you rate it? I was thinking of going for the driftmaster fence if/when I get this saw...

Well now having spoken to Henry's they suspect a dud blade and are sending me another so I'm hoping for a different experience :)

Redgy

It's flat, I jointed the face and edge that's against the fence and table respectively.

Hi all bandsaw gurus,

I have recently installed a 3/4" 1.3 TPI bimetal blade onto my 16" 3HP bandsaw. The blade is from Henry Bros and was recommended by the guy I talked to when I told him what I...

I had a colleague a few jobs ago that was into woodworking big time and he had a fire that started from a battery charger plug pack for his cordless drill. He saw the fire take hold from his kitchen...

The Adelaide store has done the same, looks like they've made room for the Festool superstore to the detriment of other things I would buy more often eg CMT router bits. For me it goes....ring Ctec...

Not the first or last time this forum has helped relieve people of that pesky cash stuff :p

Good on you Darklink, can see the excitement in your words :2tsup:

Redgy

Ditto, also have one and am happy with it :2tsup:. As zzpanic said there are a few threads on the forum especially in this section. I was looking at the same Jet as you and eventually it came down...

I have recently bought some Freud blades off Amazon and been extremely happy with their service. I gave up on trying to get them in Aus very early in my search as I would have to have them posted...

I ended up getting the Laguna Platinum, I believe is the same machine as the Harvey but at the time there were none in Aus so went with Laguna.


Redgy

It is having a dramatic effect, Laguna have just put their prices up by about 16% across the range as of July 1 due to the dollar.

$3200 for the 310HH is what I paid for mine last August plus...

From July 1, Laguna had a substantial price rise across their range in Australia due to the dollar dropping.

Redgy

They were in one of the Time Life/Woodsmith custom woodworking series books on jigs.

Hi all,

Been looking at the Incra ibox and then found a plan for a home made one. Just made from a few scraps of jarrah and tassie oak, handful of hardware total cost about $10. Works very very...

Hi all,

The only festool I own is a domino and a few clamps. Usually using the domy I have had a variety of clamping setups none of which great and thought the MFT looks very handy for clamping...

My table is flat also checked with a Veritas straight edge. The only issue I've had, which turns out to NOT be the saw, is with the blades off my old saw. They were fine on that but on the new one...

Yep I've given up trying to figure it out, spent way too much precious shed time mucking around with this and frustrating the hell out of myself. New Freud blades on the way via Amazon....5/8" hole,...

Firstly made me realise how much I miss working in a sawmill with free access to a massive sawshop and quality sawdoctors.

Anyway, just thinking out loud here but the 2 blades that are giving me...

Hi all,

Apologies in advance for long post

I recently upgraded my contractor saw to a new cabinet saw and have been having a few issues with existing blades. The problem is a small wobble which...

Thanks for the feedback guys :)

Wood doc...yep agree, I found the interior "craft" work challenging and not really enjoyable to be honest, but it's all part of it.

Richie.....very happy with...

Billy,

No I just used the dovetail keys and figure with the top section having a piece of ply in a trench all the way around and the bottom panel glued on the 3 sides it should :? be ok. Time will...

Andy,

Yes you are right they are half lapped, I have posted some pics of how I did them in the thread for the first box I did....link is in the first post of this thread.

Thanks for the links...

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback :) Thankfully my second daughter is 7 years off her 18th (1st box for eldest daughter later this year) so by then the memories will have faded and I will...

Just realised your freight is $100 cheaper than mine was....check if that's to your door or just to Adelaide.

Hi Ash,

Yep got it last Monday 6 days after ordering....if you order on a Monday you should get it Friday. I haven't given mine a good workout as yet but I am very happy with it so far and a big...

Hi all,

A few weeks ago I posted a Jewelry Chest which was the first of 2 I was making and now here is the second one....

Thanks fletty, I will put the second one in boxmakers....soon :)

To answer your question, I thicknessed the strips down to just over saw kerf allowing for sanding. Then once all the measurements...

Thanks for the tip on the manual safari, I'll hunt that down now and print out before the big day. I'll also check the flatness but as you say I don't know that a couple of thou on a wing is going to...

Yeah I liked the look of the Xacta deluxe dust collection shrouded around the blade but I didn't like it to the tune of $600 and the Laguna's fence looks good coming over the front of the rail like...

Well to answer my own question....ME :D

Should turn up this Friday or early next week...will give it a whirl and report back

Redgy

Thanks for the replies guys, I've completely gone off the idea of this Metabo now and am still looking/thinking/deciding/going crazy :doh: :)

Redgy

Thanks Swanz & Christos, issue 45 so it's a few years back, I think they're up to 100 or so now.

Hi all,

Just narrowing the field a bit in my TS replacement research and am down to Laguna Platinum 250 OR Jet Xacta Deluxe. Have laid my hands on the Jet but not the Laguna. I've read the Fusion...

I've been looking to upgrade for a while and this is on my shortlist...until I saw this Harvey HW10T30 Tablesaw - Major Woodworking Equipment

Thanks for the comments guys :)

Mr Brush, the lid is made up of a framed ply panel then the sides rebated into that then moulding glued under that before rounding over the top edges to hide the...

Hi All,

Some 6 months ago I started a project I spotted in woodsmith at some stage and that was this Jewelry chest with a few of my own touches. The pics (not great as all from iphone) will show...

Hi all,
I'm currently going through an upgrade/spend phase including replacing my bandsaw and came across a second hand Metabo BAS 505 G. Does anyone here have one of these? If so what are your...

Hi all,

Just finished this small table (maybe lamp table or small hall table?) and thought I'd share some pics. Design is a mix of other ideas and fitting the timber I had. Joinery is all...

Thanks for the comments.

Olas, no sorry just went with what I wanted to fit in it.
