I bought a Johnson. Most of the tradies I knew were using them and is very good.

Thanks for the advice guys I'm nearly convinced. Probably pester the guy in the new MIK shop that has opened in Mildura to get me over the line.:D

Hi Graham,

I did just what you are thinking of and bought the GMC platinum a few years ago. It was a shocker. The whole thing flexed and could not produce a consistent square cut. I did not try...

Very nice. Gives me another option as I do like the maxi. The TSC10HB seems to be a popular saw and without the sliding table may squeeze into the budget.

Cheers,

Mike

Certainly agree with you Gumby on the need for the extension table. After buying the maxi it was a completely different set up (for the better). Have you or anyone else thought about making up a...

I would a bonding agent like Bondcrete or use one of the many epoxy products that are available. If the pipe is the type with the glazed finish I would lean towards the epoxy type. Link below may...

Guys,

I have noticed that many on this forum have made the transition from the Triton WC to a table saw. I am considering this also but would be interested to hear from those that have done it.

A mate of mine used dressed Oregon which come up great. I think it was done in a cedar type colour.

As a keen surf fisherman I recon a carefully selected piece of driftwood would look ace with clock/barometer etc inset. I have seen quite a few "fishing shrines" that include antique fishing rods,...

Thanks. I found out today that a 56" fan will do a 5.1m x 5.1m area and should be installed at 2.3m from the floor ideally to a maximum of 2.7m. I am going to put a couple in.

I am with Wombat2. I have done probably a hundred like that except I found pointy nose pliers give the best result by pushing the point in between the fiting and pipe and then rolling the piece of...

Have just completed a 10m x 7m pergola and want to install ceiling fans. Does anyone have an idea of how many fans would be needed to service this area? Wanted to have an oyster light (or similar)...

Hi Interwood,

Pre mix is the go. I had the front of my house done with the "pros' using this. They mixed a bag up in a wheelbarrow using one of the spiral paint stirrers that go on your drill....

The additional 200mm you need could be gained by making a floating section in the bench top where the SCMS sits. Slot the section underneath and use wing nuts to secure when slid out. Eg. Drill 4...

I have just put an extension on my house, pool, fencing and a pergola using a water level. I have used a dumpy and lazer many times with previous employers and was very sceptical about using a water...

Could try drilling into the concrete floor inside at say 400mm centres and inserting some 12mm steel dowels to secure concrete. Then box up 100mm x 100mm inside and fill with concrete. Cost would be...

I have an Axminster from Carbatec. Plenty of grunt, variable speed, reasonable quality and price.

I agree with Termite but I found that the Triton vibrated a fair bit with the bits that size so I constructed a very solid router table and fitted an Axminster to it and found that very successful...

Hi Bob,

I purchased one a couple of months ago and agree with Gumby. The large nuts he refers too are not too difficult to adjust. You simple need to run a straight edge across the infeed table...

Hi Bob,

The piece you refer to is the clamp plate which protects the aluminuim guard from being damaged from the locking screw. The aluminium guard I am refering to is the one that prevents you...

Sorry for the spelling error. (cobolt?) But really I don't think you would want to read the posts to carefully on this forum or you will end up with a full time job spell checking.

Hi Pulpo,

The best option I could suggest would be to use a cobolt drill. I have used them for drilling out things like grub screws and roll pins. There are titanium coated drills on the market...

Thanks Dean. I am pretty keen on the KS-12K providing it is ok with dado.

Hi Al,

Just to clarify this a bit further, I was in the market for a new saw and inquired about a number of them in their catalog. The ones I looked at all had 5/8 arbors and I asked if any of...

On the subject of Dado blades, could anyone explain why Carbatec sell blades with a 5/8 centre but claim they are not suitable for table saws with 5/8 arbor? Thats the story they have given me. It's...

Have to agree with Gumby. I have the triton and it is definatly handy but if I had to chose between a handheld and the triton I would go with the handheld as it is much more versitile. I would also...

I understand it is a mistake. I think the web site says "4" blades but the cataloge says "3". I bought mine from Carbatec and have been happy so far.

Timbecon do one.

You could have a look at this site for some inspiration.

Hi Mick,

After my visit to Nth QLD 18 months ago I keep noticing your referance to paradise and would have to agree. As an ex fitter & machinist I would suggest that if the blades are made of high...

I bought a five piece cabinet set off eBay for $108. It has rail/stile, raised panel cutter along with a couple of fancy moulding bits. Hope to try out this weekend on some blackwood. I am building...

The picture is certainly the way I use mine. The guard (by my understanding) is only supposed to cover the unused portion of the blade to prevent your hands coming in contact with the cutters. If the...

I made one out of some 100mm x 6mm aluminium flat at 1500mm long. I then secured some aluminium square (30mm x 30mm x 3 approx) along the entire length using countersunk screws. It is perfect for...

I am half way through constructing a purpose built router table and spent many hours researching this forum and the net to finalise a design. I can offer the following advice based on this that may...

Hi Dean,

I too looked at the GMC saw and bought it when I first started buying the "orange stuff". I took the saw back to bunnings the next day and swapped it for a Triton saw. The GMC had too...

There is quite a few posts/reviews on the PT-260 but has anyone got one or aware of any reviews on the ML-392? Apart from the listed machine specifications what would be the "actual" differences in...

Thanks for the tip Tonto, but I had allready looked at the online yellow pages. Have you seen how many second hand dealers there are in Adelaide and Melbourne? As I considerable distance from the...

Thanks craigb, guess I will be buying the ML-392 I've been looking at.

Does anyone have details of second hand woodwork machinery dealers in either Melbourne or Adelaide? Looking at new planer/thicknesser at carbatec but thought it may be worth looking around as I may...
