Well I haven't many any real progress on the bench but I have picked up some timber to use from a demolition site. Some of it is hard hardwood and some seems to be Hemlock according to a member in...

You may already know about this bloke but thought I'd post just in case. I hope I'm within the rules. I'm not affiliated in any way.

I'm probably like a lot of guys on this forum, I'm an IT guy...

Here are a few photos using my phone. Not sure if they'll help. I thought Oregon but always thought oregon had quite predominant grain. It was all free so happy either way. Was thinking about...

I picked up some hardwood from a demolition site on the weekend. No idea how old the house was, the timber was stacked when i got there.

Some of it is quite light weight, light in color like...

Ok I checked the wire feed and everything looked fine. Moves smoothly through the sheath etc. Pushed the resistor back into place and wire fed through fine. Soldered it back in place and did a few...

Thrust Needle Roller 7/8"x1 7/16"x9/64" inch Bearings
VXB - $7.88 and $15.00 shipping
CBC - $9.08 and I can pickup on saturday morning so i'll go that way. Thanks for the tip on the website...

Got it. I'll troubleshoot the motor and sheath and check the voltages first as suggested.

Great thanks. So you think the 50W is ok to replace the 10W.

I might just go ahead and order one of these as well. The area next to the existing resistor has definitely suffered heat damage. The fuse cover melted. So I like the idea of panel mounting the...

Will try those troubleshooting tips, thanks all. I'll let you know how I get on.

Thanks so much for the advice Alan and for your offer to help with buying. Is the one you linked to the right spec? 4.7ohm and 25 watt? Do you think it necessary to hook it up to a heat sink?

Found the photos,

Its the large white ceramic resister (i think) marked 10W4RJ7. You can see that the fuse cover next this component has also melted.

Sure, I thought I had some on my phone but couldn't find them. Will take some more tonight.

So far CBC and Statewide have gotten back to me by email. Not overly helpful but did answer my questions. I'm trying the small parts and bearings place next, they seem to have everything judging by...

I'm in Brisbane and I'm looking for some bearings to use in projects around the shop. I need some axial roller bearings for my chain driven twin screw vice (knock off of lie-nielsen's), some caged...

Hi all,

I know I shouldn't have but I bought a cheap MIG welder second hand then proceeded to exceed the duty cycle and burned out one of the components on the board that runs the wire feed.

Does it only encrypt files on local drives or does it hit network drives as well?

I have that same vice and wasn't going to keep it on my refurbished bench till someone here suggested using it for an end vise. I'm nite going to b fit that one to the end and I'm making a moxon as...

Just found your thread which I've found very interesting as I'm in the same boat with a very similar saw which I superficially refurbished and have been using for a year or so now. It needs work...

That sounds pretty good to me John. How far apart are the rows of dogs in your bench?

Thanks Ian. I hear you on the vise choice and I really like the idea of using the QR as the tail vise. I was going to try and DIY a wagon vise (I think that's what they're called) but your...

Thanks for the replies and sorry for the absence of pics and now the poor quality of pics. Just used the phone. Will try to add more/better photos tonight.

Thanks for posting this. I've been looking for a cheap alternative to the wobbly fence on my saw. This is perfect.

Hi all,

I picked up an old workbench a while back. It's not in great shape but is made of a very dense and quite red hardwood.

So I pulled it all apart and have been flattening the top which is...

Just back in the house now after trying bevel down ie normal mode. It seemed to not lift the grain as much. I think I may have dulled the edge early using the blade in scraping mode. I am only just...

I bought an old hardwood bench the other weekend. I think it is red gum mainly. The top is two wide boards about 1 1/2 inch thick and they need Flattening. So I took to it other night with a brand...

I completely agree with Charleville and I'm now kicking myself for choosing Brisbane over maleny this year.

I spent what was for me a lot of money with one exhibitor and it was a great experience...

Hi all, I bought an old bench on the weekend and the seller had a bunch of tools from a liquidated workshop in oakey. Glad I didn't take too much cash (and disappointed at the same time). I did grab...

Done. Was easy to drill, starting to look like Swiss cheese now though cause I didn't read the instructions and placed the fence rail over the mitre slot. Thanks for the advice.

Hi all. I bought a Kreg bandsaw fence for my 14" elephant brand band saw but there are no bolt holes in the table. How difficult do you think it would be to drill and tap this metal?

Thanks Ticky, I have pulled the whole thing apart and fixed as much as possible. It was all jammed up because the tang and spring in the non-cam end were worn and had dropped out of place. Also...

I was already watching this one, good to go know the change over to single phase wouldn't be difficult. I just have to remember to pay attention when it ends!

I have an old Rexon table saw and the fence has some play between the rails and the cam locking mechanism. Once locked is rock solid but it can be locked out of true. I've made a little video showing...

Hi all, just joined the forums, have enjoyed reading about fellow Australians for a change. Most of the other content I've seen online has been American.

I've dabbled with furniture making off...
