My apologies

:blush2:

I beg your pardon! I was simply adding some information to an enquiry about a product. Just because you don't understand something, it doesn't mean people who do are Shills.

Ingredients are Beeswax and food grade mineral oil

WD40 doesn't protect anything. Its water based. It has good solvent properties and can lubricate for a short while but useless for anything lasting.

Water tight sheds don't discourage surface rust unless they are fully lined and sealed. I have experienced surface rust on Festool gear stored in a systainer in a shed but not in a lined workshop....

Saw has now been sold.

Yes fence is included . Model number is BAS-350B - 2 speed 1.5hp. Blades and mobile base were bought as extras.

I am reluctantly selling my bandsaw due to space issues. It is a 14" unit with mobile base and I have both the Lennox 1/2" Tri-master carbide blade and a 1/4" blade from, Highland woodworking.

I very much disagree that smaller dusties cannot be used effectively connected to a single machine. There is no dust all over the workshop after machining either. We know more powerful dust...

John, the problem I have with theories of ideal air flow, motor size etc is that despite the calculations, when you connect one machine directly to a smaller dusty the air flow easily takes care...

Chris, are you referring to the Hammer saw? Perhaps the saw has the reduction to increase air velocity through the machine. Planer/Thicknesser is 120MM without reduction behind the port. I would...

This particular 1.5 HP motor pulls a lot more through the cyclone than my previous "conventional" 2 HP dust extractor which was rated higher than 1200 CFM.

Being an armchair critic without...

You are wrong! - the MW has a 150MM inlet! There is a detachable 150MM to 2 x 100MM splitter which I removed. Clearvue also advertise so the point about magazines not offending anyone who...

I should add that I looked at Clearvue but was unconvinced by their claims. I also thought the product was poor value by comparison. In a recent test in Wood Magazine Clearvue got slammed when the...

I have bought one of those cyclones and it is brilliant. You will always find someone to knock anything that is not DIY but these things are very efficient and well engineered. It easily takes...

nice

In 2009 the $A was buying 0.58 Euro and today it is 0.85. That is a whopping 50% more than just a few years ago! Please do not be under any misapprehension that the current pricing is reflective of...

I have the Super Dust Deputy and would advise using it every time rather than not. I have even used it with a 1 hp extractor with very good results. With 2 HP or more, you will not have any issues...

Hi Jill

I've done a couple of dining tables and a few other pieces with a mirror gloss finish. I have used polyurethane as well as lacquer. My favourite by a long margin is acrylic lacquer. Easy...

Except that pleated filters have almost 7 times the surface area of a bag. A bag will never have as good suction as a decent pleated filter on the same DC. I have also found this out in practice.

If you are clogging your filter up so quickly i would suggest a couple of things:

1. Put a cyclone stage into the chain. With mine I never even have to turn the paddles.

2. Perhaps your DC...

I couldn't find specs for those. Do they also switch on instantly and delay switching off?

I have bought a 10amp master/slave switch (see link below) suitable for woodworking due to it's ability to instantly switch on the slave device. What's more, it also delays turning off the slave...

A suggestion that might work ( I haven't tried it though). Could you attach a 1 hp portable dusty directly onto the machine to push the the flow toward the dusty outside? Like a booster. I would...

1. Australia for hardwood selection ( I can't go past jarrah)

2. USA for Price of everything to do with woodwork

3. But there is a huge range of timbers from the tropical forests of Asia.

Well, I'm not very good but check this guy out!

Hi Benja, I was contemplating the Jaycar Unit and for my benefit ( and others I'm sure) could you please explain the problem with this unit a little more? Are you saying that 10 amps at 240V is not...

The beauty of the hammer machines is that you should never need to adjust the blades. The clearance is pre-set at the factory and the replacement blades should sit at the factory preset height. The...

There is also this unit sold by a Swedish woodwork tooling company.

Master/Slave Switch, 230V, 1-Phase

The Jaycar unit is made in Germany and is used by woodworkers in Germany and the UK for...

I'm not sure that we are talking about the same devices. The one in the link below allows one appliance to consume up to 4000 watts and it will switch on a further 2400 watt (10A) load.

Readily available on Ebay and elsewhere as well. Usually a search for " smart power board" will give you a range of choices

Shellac is used as a coating on many pharmaceutical preparations. Based upon that I would have thought it should be safe for use on the crib.

I just came across this thread and since no one has replied, I thought I would try to help. I have recently taken up spraying myself and understand that you would follow the same process as you...

Thanks for the link Spartan. However I do not accept , as it appears to be suggested in the article, that tapers are unavoidable. I take the view that if the sides were roughly parallel to begin...

Hi Spartan

I understood that you meant you have ended up with a taper. My comment was related to the cause for that. That is where the timber may be uneven to begin with such as being higher in...

I don't think anyone doubts that lacquer would be preferable for high gloss finishes but on this forum some of us hobbyists aren't set up for spraying lacquer. Something I'd like to do in future,...

Spartan, unless I have misunderstood your original post, the problem lies with your technique. Concentrating pressure on the outward table for the length of the board can cause the problem you...

I was referring to building up coats of poly on a new build as this is what I understood the original question referred to. In my case, I will do several coats of WOP in the same day. Some sanding...

When you say slope, I assume you mean that the board ends up being narrower at one end ie not parallel , even though it is at 90 degrees to the flat side?

This can happen in a couple of...

I'm not sure that the polyurethane would have any trouble getting sufficient grip if you used finer grits in between coats of WOP.

I can understand the problem if there was no sanding done at all...

That is intriguing! Is it possible to reduce the suction power when the DD is connected to the router? I'm just guessing here, but something is causing the cyclonic action to fail. The smaller...

If you want a high gloss finish with WOP, you need to build the coats up. WOP goes on very thinly and a couple of coats won't hide the scratch marks you make with sanding and with steel wool.
...

It appears clear from what you have described that the seal on the bucket was not airtight- hence no cyclone action and dust gets sucked up into the vac.

I have had a bucket implode on me as...

Sanding boards wider than 16" eg coffee table top, can produce good results. Alignment of the drum is paramount here, but it is possible to get it right. It can be a pain to align though. I have...

I have the Carbatec machine. Its a decent quality machine that appeared to me to be similar to the Jet. I am happy with mine and definitely do not regret not buying the Jet 16-32. If I was going to...

Venting to the outside would be your best option to avoid breathing dust. The only issue hooking up a dust deputy to it is the type of fittings used in ducted vacs. PVC piping used for ducted vacuums...

Great stuff Fish. I am about to do something similar so I will be watching this thread with interest

I have had occasion to rip a narrow board with the Festool TS55 track saw. My table saw at the time had a lot of junk on it and I thought I would use the opportunity to test the Festool system.

To...

Well, I think Festool is bucking the trend of selling cheaper tools in Australia at least. In these days of a high Aussie dollar they are announcing a price increase.
