On the other hand, I have the Dewalt 7491 table saw and I think it's fantastic and the dual rack and pinion fence is extremely accurate and simple. I have mounted the saw on a stand to bring the...

Thanks for the Welcome folks

I posted my first question yesterday so I thought I'd better introduce myself. I'm happily retired and renovating our South Coast house. I'm up to the kitchen and checking out info from other's...

Pardon my ignorance. We only really have our land line to get ADSL2. How do I get the internet without the land line?

Bruce

I think in my case it is option 2. The dimming lights was a different poster, I don't experience that. Also, it isn't all the lights on the modem that go out; only the internet connection ones.
...

I have spoken with the retailer and they say they haven't experienced this before. It is a couple of weeks past the one year warranty. I'm not sure how I would prove to them that it is not working...

BobL, I just tried that and strangely it isn't cutting out the modem at all just now, even with a chuck and partial bowl. I'm sure that intermittent issues are even harder to trace.
Bruce

The phone outlet that the modem plugs into is about 2m from the main electrical box outside the house. I really don't think I can do much to change that.

Big Shed: Bummer, the WL46 was my other...

Sorry, I forgot to clarify earlier. We tested it last night and it is only the internet connection lights that go out, not the whole lot.
Bruce

Thanks again to both of you; I will pursue these options and see how things go.

Yes, the internet speed in Jerra is about half that of our last house 20km out of town.

Bruce

Thanks Westom for your comprehensive contribution. I'm not very electrically confident so I don't know how an AC line filter would be fitted. Once that cable goes into the lathe I wouldn't have a...

Hi,

I have posted this in the Electronics section as suggested. Just as a follow up to the questions and suggestions:

I have since tested things a bit more and found that the internet...

Hi,

I posted this recently in the Wood Turning section and it was suggested that I also post here.

I have a Cougar 400 EVS lathe which is all very nice however, it has become apparent that when...

Good point, it certainly kills the wireless but I haven't tried the cable connected PC. I will try that once my son's uni assignment is finished :)

Bruce

Thanks Yanis for your comprehensive answer. Physically the lathe and modem are about 18m and lots of walls apart (only 1 brick wall though). I'm not sure if they're on the same power point circuit....

My apologies if this has been covered but a search didn't show anything.

Hi,

Have a look in Super Cheap Auto at their press for a design idea with the bottle jack the right way up. I made my own ~20 years ago with a 6 ton jack and have done a vast array of jobs...

Hi,

I have a relatively cheap compressor from Super Cheap and it holds air for many weeks. However, if I leave the tap on to allow air to the flexible line, it goes away in days. If you don't...

Thanks all for your thoughts. I can't be certain that the camphor was the culprit, but it seems a possibility. It's certainly worth working out for next time. Or better still I'll use other wood....

Hi Turners,

Can seasoned Camphor Laurel sawdust create allergic reactions to the skin or is it only a problem when wet. I have developed a pretty bad itchy rash on my stomach where the main...

For the Cougar 400 I paid $2,400 which included a set of 100mm jaws, chuck insert, $150 worth of blanks and no delivery charge since I picked it up from the wood show. Those additions seemed quite...

Hi Faulko,

I understand your dilemma. I ended up buying a Cougar 400 EVS quite recently and am very happy with it. I think I would have really liked to own a VicMarc due to its reputation and...

I guess this is getting pretty far off topic, so I'll just post a couple of pics of the lathe and my first work (first half anyway) and leave it at that in this thread. A quick plug though for the...

Hi,

I lurk here regularly, but don't post much. I checked out the Cougar 400 EVS lathe at length on the Firday and returned on Sunday afternoon to buy one. A very different experience to use...

I have a similar H&F WL-18 which needed the same part. I got it from H&F at a similar price. Check very carefully whether the fingers of the two pulley halves mesh together once they are on the...

I know the safety issue is a bit off topic, but BobL, thanks for the injury info. I'm always happy to learn. I will cut next time with renewed caution.

Bruce

I agree with a bit more quality. I've had a Stihl 028 for 25 years and it hasn't skipped a beat. All our houses have been wood heating only and I have cut it all with the Stihl. I'm all in favour...

I hose mine down on occasion without apparent problems. I take the nozzle off so it doesn't splash up; just a gentle stream from the hose close to the ground in a sweeping motion. I only use this...

They look like syringes used to extract fluids. eg Stick some clear hose on the end, dunk it in your brake master cylinder reservoir, draw up the old fluid. Repeat until the reservoir is empty,...
