Thanks for getting back to me, much appreciated. Yes, I have to get the micro winder fixed, I have been meaning to for a while now and have contacted Triton for parts.


Just flound the...

Hi all, would the TRA001 be too big and heavy for the kreg benchtop?

My mico winder has broken so need to look at that as well :(

Sold already sorry, It was made from camphor laurel I think. Cheers!

Thanks everyone for you kind words, I really appreciate it! It makes those long days in the workshop worthwhile:)

dr4g0nfly - The blue one? Thanks! A few things going on there to get the effect,...

Its actually in the manual I think that if there is a problem with the controller you need to blow it out or clean it.

Its been a while since the last post, but here are a few ideas i've come up with lately, experimenting mainly with form and textures. Hope you enjoy!

artful bodger thankyou, exactly what i'm going for :)

turnerted Thanks, took a while to perfect the spinning ones : )

Christo Happy to share! Make sure you post pics, i'm interested to see what you come up with!

Faulko I Just followed Steve...

Alright , been going a couple of years now so thought I'd contribute and post some pics of my efforts. Many thanks to those who have helped in my journey thus far. Man alive this is fun, it's taken...

and if you use the belt in a vertical position the switch is at the back of the machine! :doh:

I purchased one of these approx 6 months ago. Although it does the job ok I wish I had saved for a better one with a bigger disk and two proper cast tables instead of just one crappy aluminium one. ...

That looks pretty sweet!

Wow thats great fletty, hope you feel better soon!

Thanks, yup 4400

Second video now up with more info about the jigs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlI3vVi9St8&list=UUgjDXG8gjrDrFHW7Uz3mHDw

Yep next vid will be more informative, include a much closer look at the jigs and why I chose these two to build :cool:

Had some spare time on the weekend and though i'd have a go at making a quick slowmo film using a couple of new jigs I constructed for my bandsaw recently, hope you enjoy :)

<iframe width="853"...

I have the Triton and it works ok. I ended up making the mdf fence from one piece rather than two separate pieces as the two were misaligned slightly otherwise.

Picked up mine including the stand...

Just picked up a couple of sets of the F clamps. Looks like great quality for the price :2tsup:

I ended up getting this one https://www.masters.com.au/product/100304773/shop-vac-1800w-25l-wet-dry-vacuum-grey
I didnt realize when I bought it but it can blow as well, really really well!
So now...

Mine is few months old and has 2.5 on the machine and 3 on the motor.

Cool thanks for the advise, will see how i go : )

Yep happy to get an older lathe, the Tough is too much for me though at the moment, would be $700+ all up.
The one I just posted though is only $300 but no idea if its any good as it is unbranded or...

There is a couple of these types of lathes around at the moment as well.... my first instinct is to stay away....304495304496

Also perhaps be aware of the initial power draw of the 4400 (and other woodwork machines)
We measured it at 57A at startup and considering we only had a 60A fuse out front and also the fact that we...

yep sorted that but still way too far apart

Dunno about lathes but for example my table saw doesn't seem to have any adjustment to align the blade and fence....... also has stripped threads..... grrrrr almost had enough of it.

yeah thinkin its a bit much really.
Have found that the old stuff like my tablesaw although big and tough can be a pain in the butt.
They also just don't have the adjustments that the newer stuff...

Gave him a call and he firm on the price, he couldn't understand why you would need cam locks?
Also he is not including the chucks... extra 50 or 100 for them each.

Just a quick update, I ended up buying the n4400 bandsaw, have had it for a couple of months now and its going great!
I probably would have gone the Laguna however I didnt want to wait for the next...

Have been looking around for a decent lathe and found this one locally.. any opinions...... please ? :)

...

Yep that looks like the go, replacement heads are less than half the price too, although not factoring in shipping..... interesting : )

Cool, let me know how you go!
Why is the deluxe version better BTW?

50% quieter does sound good doesn't it!
Maybe the bits are cheaper directly imported, if so then its a different story :D Currently from carbatec would cost $600ish to repace.
Currently woodworking...

That one looks good, I'm also looking for a thicknesser and have these two on the short list.
Carba-Tec® 15" Thicknesser : CARBA-TEC
SYDNEY TOOLS - Dewalt 1800W 13" Inch Planer Thicknesser -...

Great thanks for all that will check it all out tonight and also give Gregory's a call as well.
I have been looking for a second hand one for a while with no success unfortunately, I have some...

My new woodworking career is going well so I'm after some recommendations for a good quality bandsaw that is accurate and will last.
Big enough for cutting large timber (maybe 18"..ish) yet...

Picked up the ryobi last week and today was quite frustrated with the pinless blade system. Did you manage to find a solution?

Damn was waiting for your review :)
I have decided to hold off for a bit as well and just use a router sled..... which I would have done by now if my triton router wasn't DOA :((

Interested to see your impression on the Masters one. Also make sure replacement blades are cheap/available?
I'm also considering the Carbatec Spiral or Dewalt but if the Masters one is ok then I'll...

Thats very cool : )

Ahhh thanks Steve : )
Back to the old plan of Hafco P-200H and Carba-Tec CT-330X combo : )

Managed to find cheap quality timber so currently looking around for a Jointer & Thicknesser
Was going to get a new 8 inch however just noticed this Timber jointer planner | Power Tools | Gumtree...

Update - After looking and looking I ended up giving in and just bought the CMT 13 piece set. Managed to get them for $250 delivered so about $20 each, if I don't use a few then no biggie.
Arrived...

I just picked up some cheap DAR pine from bunnings.

Excellent all good info!

My brother in law is a sparky and a clever guy as well so should go smoothly.... hopefully. Will have no hesitation to jump on here if a problem arises :2tsup:

Is there...

Brilliant, looks like a great low maintenance solution. Will give them a call next week to arrange.



I personally wouldn't bother with this but would it help to add simple filtered intake vents...

Yes I was initially put off by the price but when put into perspective ie my tv cost $2500, my stereo $4000, my photography business equipment....... a lot!

So its not at all bad given the peace...

Many thanks for the help and advice!
I had a bit of a think about it and it will really put my mind to ease doing things the right way. My wife agrees : )
I'll start looking around for a more...

Great thanks for the advice!
Have been around to most of the shops in Newcastle but no one seems to stock any of the reputable brands listed here.
Also have noticed the Diablo brand in the big...

Have pretty much finished up on my old stressful job and have decided to setup my own new workshop/lifestyle : )


I already have a bunch of power tools and have also just been given an old Tekna...
