That's perfect. Seems nice and easy to use and should fit in the space I have.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.

This is my old $90 GMC that us used to cut dirty sleepers coved in soil.. I have had it since Bunnings sold GMC and to tell you the truth, if the old girl dies I will not be...

Morning,

I need to cut a 40mm deep trench in a concrete slab. Is there anything wrong with putting a diamond blade on a circular saw? It looks like the perfect tool as I can set the depth of cut....

In that case, I will take it.

Can you please send me some bank details?

Thanks

May I please ask how much this would weigh for shipping. I will be interested as long as shipping is not over the top.

Thanks.

Had some time over the last few night to assemble the press.
I am quite happy with how it came out. Now just need some milk :)

Thanks guys,

Blackforester - No idea. The edges are about 25mm with plenty of titebond but they may still move I guess.
As long as it is good when I build it, I am happy :)

I think I will have...

Afternoon everyone.

After posting my last project on here and working out that I may have been a little hard on myself, here is project number 2.
I needed a new cheese press (I used to use...

Love the bobbin sander idea. Might need to make some sleeveless bobbins when I have some time...

Thanks everyone. I have never seen any boxes "in the flesh" as it where so I don't really have anything to compare my efforts too.
I have done some thinking for the design for my second attempt and...

Thanks Aldav, Nice looking box you have there.

I learned the "don't flip the stock" lesson on my first test. I now mark the side that rides the fence so it always is on the same side.
I also need...

Thanks Aldav. It does weight quite a bit :)
I used a Incra LS for this one. Sure makes the job easy. Just take a bit of time getting the height of the router right (lots of trial and error). I would...

Thanks for the feedback guys. I normally am on the harsh side on myself. My grandfather was a fitter and turner so gaps of .1mm are huge when you talk to him and I guess that just sort of rubbed off...

Had a bit of time in the workshop on the weekend and ended up building a little box for my diamond plates.
Been one of my first boxes, what do you think? I like the look of the thing but I don't...

I wad just thinking if it would cost $5 for a bit of pipe it would be easier to install then using shims when it comes to installation. With bobl's 6.5m pipe cut to 50mm would give you about 100...

There goes that idea. :oo: I was thinking of extruding the pipe but at that cost it would be cheaper just to buy the ebay mounts and machine them down like it did.
How would the 80mm OD pipe go if...

The only ones I have seen with a ER20 collet are 80mm and 100mm. other are square but that will make it even harder..

I wounder if we can find a aluminium pipe with a 80 ID with a OD that we a...

Nice setup. I find the router so much more enjoyable now as it is so quite.

2 quick notes.
The inverter allows you to connect external buttons to turn the spindle on and off (not latching so you...

Here is my over complex solution. Stupid OCD...

That spacer ring was this before it met my lathe.

After this topic came up I decided to change my "loud as hell, vacuum cleaner motor" router into this,

Nice, the replacement pads will save you some work.

Just make sure to get a nice big stop button and you are all set.

I have something like this on my CNC router

I have now had it for about 4 years. It gets used about 2-3...

Ahh the old "swissTEC" router. If anyone is thinking about buying one make sure to ask if the crappy speed control has been fixed, and the fan on top that loved to shatter as it was made form the...

Nice work.
May I ask what you are using to draw the design, or are you just writing the gcode manually?

I just bought this set -

Quite well...

Thanks for the reply guys.

Silver ash sounds good. Is there anywhere around Melbourne I can get timber like that?

Eland - I am using a router table as I don't have a dado blade. Normally I...

Hi All,

I have been playing around with my iBox making some hinges. Overall they are OK, but the tare out is horrible when I try to use common timbers like oak. I have also tried some Redgum,...

If you can't find a home for them I would be willing to pay for shipping to Melbourne if you are happy to pop them in a box.

Thank

Thanks for all the input guys. Lots to think about.

I have two follow up questions;
1 - why would a negative hook angle effect the finish of the cut? I always thought it only effected how the...

I did not see the other 100T bosch blade. I was a little concerned about the TCT grind on the other one but this one looks like a ATB so I think I will go for that one and see how it goes.

Thanks

Hi all.

Quick question regarding saw blades. I need to cut soft-ish wood (mostly tas oak) for some small parts I am making.
So given the option between a 100 tooth 3mm kerf or a 80 tooth 2.4mm...

Good point. I will still be using two beams but it would be a point load.
I will ask the question.

Thanks

Hi All.

I need a easy way of moving some slightly heavy (up to 1 Ton) stuff around my shed.

So, H&F has one of these for ~$900 - K090 | MGT-1T Mobile Girder Rail Package - 2 | For Sale Sydney...

Excellent. I just wanted to make sure before I start modifying.

Thanks

I was just about to ask the same question as this as I want to modify my DC7 to take the duct from the ceiling.
Just confirming, does the fan care what orientation it is in? I know the motor does...

Well, give me a yell if you want to do a run on my machine if you don't feel like cutting them by hand.

Have fun.

How many do you need? I have a CNC router if you want to cheat and do it the easy way..
Send me a PM if you want to work something out.

Hi Evanism,

I am handy with c# if you are interested in porting you work to something a little more robust then PHP.. Will make graphics output easy too.

Give me a yell if you are interested.....

I would just replace the pot with something like this..

Been IP67 rated, you will not have any issues with dust ingress. Just make sure...

"The CSIRO guide is to try to eat less than a half kilo of CCA timber a month "...

That's good to know. I will make sure to limit my side dish of CCA timber with my dinner from now on.

Great work.
What finish did you use on that?

You could also use a router with a ball end bit. Would take some time setting up the fence but you would get a nice straight channel.

Have fun.

The other option for the fan shroud is a PVC endcap. You can get them pretty big at a plumbing shop.
Have fun.

Not sure how helpful this is but Jaycar stocks boxes like this f you have one around you.

Thanks guys,

I will look around some recycling places. Did not think of that one.

Thanks

Been in the lathe forum the blank I am looking for is square :) (70 x 70 x 500).
I am in Melbourne but am happy to pay for shipping.

Thanks

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has any mill blanks for sale, or if anyone knows where I could find some? I have looked at ebay but there is not much there.

I am looking form something about...

OK. I have had a look at both. I must say that the vicmark is better in build quality, but only just and in places that the quality just would not matter. Things like finish of paintwork and such. I...

Thanks for that guys.

I will go today and have a look at both. Maybe seen them will help me make up my mind.
Right now I am leaving towards the woodfast simply because the swing.

Lets see how...

Thanks guys,
Going to have a look at both today. Maybe a closer look will make my mind up.

Still like the woodfast simply because the bigger swing, just wish it was not yello...
