Thanks all very much for your feedback.

Such a great forum!! There is always someone or more who know the answers. :) :) :)

I hope that as the years go by I can start answering more...

Just a quick question for you router maniacs as I am considering purchase of Triton table and router.

Will the triton table and router accept and function OK with a dia. 3.5" raised panel bit??
...

Thank you all folks for your feedback.

OK, so I'll go for the 7 because I'm not built like hercules.

I bid $162 for this type 13 the other day on ebay and did not win it. I was a bit...

Any one know what sort of price represents reasonable value for a second hand stanley #7 or #8 jointer?

A brand new lie-nielson is about US$450.

A very interesting article, Your articles are excellent.

Thankyou. :)


Does any one know where we can get Brownells Oxpho-blue in Aus? (seems to be the ducks guts of cold blues according to...

Yes, agreed,

I used it once on a top for my aquarium. It was passable but only just. I agree that the depth of finish is lacking. :(

I probably won't use it again

Leichardt Pine....?

Is that ordinary pine that has been outside in Leichardt for 50 years thereby rendering it very greasy by absorbed air pollution?

:) :D

I have the WK2000 with the triton saw and it cuts accurately and square.

I have a Ryobi 7.25" that I use hand held for quick rough cuts. It small and light and cheap and is absolutely great for...

A case of buyer beware methinks...

I enjoyed reading the above debate. slightly "Douglas Adams"ish.

However.... if you are serious about finding the correct answer I think you may need to...

Thanks Mick,

I had allready done the spit trick and was happy. I was just wanting to know if the recomended finishes added colour. If, as you say, a slight yellow cast will result. This will be...

Mick,

I have taken your advice on board and am now intending to use TAS OAK. Does your advice re the finish apply equally to this timber and how much will said finish effect the colour of the...

Thanks to all involved,

I am now in possession of a fence that is straight and square.

:) :) :) :)

Can I suggest using the mitre guage and appropriate packing pieces to cut some regular small wedge angles in table saw mode or cross cut mode.

I used a small double ended hook, about 1.5" long,...

Yeh,

I reckon it must be some new legal bollocks like the champagne thing... you can't call it champagne anymore unless it comes from that region in France. So maybe it can't be marketed as...

Thanks all,

It certainly looks and feels like TAS OAK so I'll assume it is but check next time I'm in the store.

I was browsing at Bunnings recently (WA) and saw a timber labelled "Aus. Oak" It looked relatively nice and appeared to be a hardwood.

Can anyone please tell me what it is or point me to some...

Wow, Barry that was quick...

It's not exactly what I was looking for but I'm sure the idea can be used with some adaption. I want to round the ends of rectangur tenons.

I will mull over the...

OK, I've seen how easy it is to make a squared tenon with a table saw or router table and a suitable jig. I've seen how easy it is to make a rounded mortice using the router table and a simple jig....

Correct me if I'm wrong Kris, but it sounds like a different problem. I'm guessing from what you describe is that your rulers are slightly out of kilter and with both on the same setting the fence...

Thanks Mick,

Good advice I'm sure. SWMBO wanted pine but I'll talk her into a harder wood. I have plenty of old Jarrah toungue and groove floor boards but was hoping to use them on something a...

I'm building a pine panel work benchtop for the laundrey...

I would appreciate recommendations from anyone in the know as to a hard wearing fully waterproof clear finish that is easy to clean.
...

Thanks Sprog,

I've just fired off an email.

Tried the paper trick yesterday and was able to get the fence vertical (with 2 layers of thin card), So OK in the short term. But when turning the fence around to bevel or use on the RHS the error...

Point taken Sprog.

Thanks



PS I took it back to Bunnings on the weekend and they checked it on their bench and agreed. Their demo unit fence had the same problem. They wouldn't break open...

Thanks for your input,

I might try this idea, I will need several layers of paper I reckon. I'm thinking it might not remain put as one flips the rulers around to store the fence of change to...

Yes and Yes,

I did then set the blade square to the table and so it lightly brushes the bottom of the fence. The gap between the top of the fence and the teeth is then about 0.75mm so it's not...

I have just bought a Workcenter 2000EV and the Triton Saw. All looks good and am looking forward to my first project with it.

One problem I have is that I was directed to align the blade with the...

To keep the poly slider on the sled use csunk screws and regular intervals. If you are worried about not getting them spot on doing this then maybe rout a neat and shallow slot in the sled for them,...

Has anyone considered using a stright cut bit and routing from the flat side of the door not the edge. Then set the plunge depth to the width of the hinge plate and rout along the edge where...
