I think i will get some aluminium extrusion to put on the miter gauge and use as a fence just to see what sort of...

Well, since i set it all up, I used my saw for the first time yesterday/today. Very nice and quiet. So far really happy with it,

Just a question on the delta sliding attachment on my Jet saw. I...

I've heard a few people say this, I suppose because MDF has no grain maybe?

I am petty much limited to bunnings so i think either irwin or Diablo will b what i end up with. Still looking at a few...

Cool, i am going to pickup one of these http://www.bunnings.com.au/empire-300mm-true-blue-combination-square_p5667099
They seem to get a reasonable amount of good reviews that they are/stay...

Thanks for all the info.

I need to get a decent combination square still, but you draw a line and then flip it over and draw another line next to it hey? and they should be parallel?

Hi everyone,

Well, i finally bought my first table saw. I was using my dads triton but it has a real cheap saw on it and was too hard to setup.

I got hold of my parents neighbours JET saw for...

Well i bit the bullet and bought the Dewalt DWE575-XE. The local shops here had bugger all so i bought online. They were on sale for $214 with free shipping. All the reviews that i've read and...

Yeah will do. I dont think Bunnings have the Dewalt im looking at so was hoping someone else here did. Otherwise i'll go with something they have.

I agree... You only have to look at remote control cars to see the advantages of a good brushless motor. They run smoother, cooler and faster. Much better technology in my opinion

I have a...

That sounds like it may help. Didn't know these existed. I'll try one of these for the saw on the table.

My saw for handheld work does need replacing though, so still wouldn't mind peoples...

Thanks for the info,
I already have a Triton table saw here which is my dads. This has a cheap saw mounted to it, and it just flexes around heaps due to the saws flimsy base. I'm not a big fan of...

I'm looking to buy a new circular saw around the 185mm mark. Anything around $200-300.

Only thing is, i want to build a DIY table saw and mount it in there as well as use it...

Thanks for your replies,
i didn't think about just using solid bar and drilling.

I was wondering how i'd go making this just looking at drawings, but I found a good step by step here: Homemade...

Hi All,

I'm going to make up a table saw and figure i need to get the fence sorted before i make the rest.

I've searched "Fence" and done heaps of reading and like the idea of the Biesemeyer...

I was excited by this deal too, except the Perth store wont go that cheap due to the cost of getting them across the country. oh well :(

Hopefully youre over east and can get it. My wifes uncle...

I think i will go separates.
I don't have space problems so will look at getting the Jointer first and then a thicknesser after.
I'll get an 8" jointer with nice long tables straight away i think,...

Thanks Rod,

Don't look too much into those prices online, they are only for over east, the Perth store wont go that cheap due to shipping costs.

If the combo machines are still no good then i...

Hi guys,

I've just built a Jarrah outdoor table with my wife's uncle and was going to look at getting some woodwork machinery to start playing around myself a bit.

He has the Jet 8" jointer and...
