    Question Whats on your Sydney WWW Show Shopping List?

    With the Sydney show just a few weeks away, whats on your shopping list?

    Mine is below:

    • Vacuum or 1HP dust extractor (still need to read about pro's and cons. Hmmm, maybe the budget MAY stretch to a 2HP)
    • Forstner bit set
    • Lock mitre router bit
    • Spiral cut router bit (probably a set)
    • Maybe a biscuit joiner
    • No doubt there will be other things that will catch my eye....

    Default woodies

    You woodies are funny.

    You dream about everything but wood.

    I'd hate to be married to any of you.

    All you think about is equipment, not the body (of timber) you are going to work upon.

    Regards
    Greg

    PS I'll be there..... with the wood......

    Having a chainsaw mill I get almost as excited going bush as I do going to the show - the show is for tools and the bush is for wood.

    I did buy a very modest amount of huon pine at the Bris Show last weekend $10 worth - such extravagence But two weeks ago the dining table top slab burl in redgum from out west WOW - pics soon.
    Cheers

    Default Bush is for bushies

    It wouldn't be a www show without the wood.

    It would be a toolies show.

    The bush is quite comfortable where it is.

    I've spent all day reading about the Timbecon 1 and 2 HP extractors (FM-230 & FM-300) and still haven't made my mind up. A $99 Timbecon vac would probably 'do the job', but think that I may as well get an extractor now.

    I'll be using it on 1 machine at a time inc, Triton Workcentre, router table, Ryobi/GMC thicknesser. But it would basically be useless for other smaller things such as a hand sander, sanding box etc??? :confused:

    I'll have to keep on reading.....

    Then the other question, if I do decide to get a Carbatec one, do I get one from their upcoming sale, or see if I can haggle a better price at the show!?!?
