Thread: Adelaide Wood Work Show

Up late dreaming of wood, eh Ticky?

I'm looking into sanding devices this year. A small ROS, or perhaps a belt/disc jobbie.

Don't forget the WW Forumites dinner on the Sat evening -- details here:

(see especially post 17)

Thaks Zen, Good luck with you sanders. Have a look at the METABO Duo ROS mate. It is not cheap at over $300 but when you consider that a sander is used on nearly every project you work on, it is worth having spent the cash if you get what you pay for. I have had mine for 2 years now, & I am wrapped with it. To my knowledge, it is the only dual orbit sander on the maket, so you can rip into the rough stuff & then finnish to a fine finish with the same sander.

I am in no way connected to any company that that may befefit, from this, it is Just My Opinion.

Sorry I can't make the dinner fellow SA woodies, but I will be looking for your caps.

I'll be there Friday also with a bandsaw on my shopping list. A mate bought the leda one last year, got a real good deal at the show (including free shipping to Mt. Gambier) & has been real happy with it. Also want some ubeaut products, some t-track & hardware & maybe a powered respirator if I don't blow it all on something else. Warm up the EFTPOS machine....

Hi Reg,
I will be going on Saturday, so let me know friday night if you bought your Bandsaw, Which one you bought & why you decided on that one, if you are not too busy playing with your new toy's that is.

I am keen on the Leda, but the Bas350 has a bigger motor & I PM'd a forum member who has one & he is very happy with his BAS. My ploblem is I have also spoken to another Forum Member with the Leda Who is equally happy with his. Maybe this is not a problem in the long term as it appears that you can't go wrong with either, but more of a problem in the short term deciding between the two.

Still like to have a look at a Jet though.

Good luck Reg.

Steve

I'm confused :confused: (no surprises there)

We have a well known member called Tikki and it appears also one called Ticky.

Both are apparently in SA. Are you one and the same or does Ticky need to change his/her screen name?

Enquiring minds would like to know. :confused:

Hmmm, I see timbecon have the sherwood BAS350 for $629 at the moment. If they've got one there at that price, that might be hard to beat :confused: Dunno what sherwood's like?...except the colour

After all the trouble you went to to get out of working Harry, the list may be small, but Have creditcard, will buy.

Reg,
I think the only difference between the Sherwood & the Carbatec, is the colour. If I am incorrect on this I hope somebody will let us know.

Thats a pretty good price, but put on the thunbscrews for a couple of blades as well, you never know.

Good luck Reg.

Got the Carbatec BAS350 in the end for $599. Liked the Leda but the extra 350 I spent on other stuff Timbecon were $629 + including another blade (I work in a timber mill so free blades arent a real selling point )

I just got home, my ute loaded, glad SWMBO is out somewhere :eek:

Have a good day Ticky

Well done Reg, I must admit, I am leaning heavily toward the Carbatec BAS350. $599 is a damn good price I recon. I generally like the Leda gear, but the motor is bigger on the Caby Bas350.

Thanks for getting back to me, I will be there tomorrow Morn.

Did you buy it from the Carbatec Stand, or one of their Agents?
