If I'm seeing it right the pvc cap over the motor housing is a fresh air vent so the motor isn't just living in a box full of dust.

40 tooth blade will be perfect for ripping but you will probably want a fineer tooth blade (60-80) for a finer finish. Highly recommend the videos no matter which Workcentre you're using. Well to...

Ahh ... you of course add a sturdee cyclone or something similar (Part IV?) or/and buy a secondhand "they don't make them like they used too" vintage clunker of vaccuum instead of using the precious...

You've now been converted to the brand new but rapidly expanding ranks of the dustbox users club. You've flat packed it for storage or transport, saved yourself plenty of money you were going to...

I've always put off getting a dustbag for my WC200 for a few reasons. Firstly, it's more money to outlay (I'm a dinky die tight ????). Secondly, people often comment on this forum that it makes it a...

A while ago I started the thread "10 inch blade in a 9 1/4 inch power saw?" to brainstorm the safety, viability, safety, performance and ... safety of removing the retractable guard from the 235mm...

What he said. Get a WC2000.

:rotfl:

Good on you.

Yeah - no worries:U. AND I know what you mean about the cutting disks:o. I post some pics of what I use as a safe alternative to a small angle grinder with abrasive cutting disks attached. My...

I didn't say anything about using a 9 inch grinder without the guard - the boss always operated the large grinder (with a diamond wheel), always with the guard and handle and the grinder was the kind...

Just read my last post and I should apologise as it reads more abrasively than I would like.:B

I should also add that ear protection was compulsory too.

Sorry Grahame - that's not true. "Hand Tools" - including screwdrivers, utility knives, hammers, etc. are the most common cause of tool injuries in emergency ward admissions. There are almostd...

May be a problem with the unit but my money's on adjustment. The only way you know for sure is to:
1) Power off and get down and eyeball down the line of the blade at table level and, as gumby...

Yeah... in a canoe.

ditto to Celeste.

Got a PM from Revlis asking for more detail on the home made saw stabilization bracket so here are some explanatory photos. The brackets are all from el cheapo plastic handled $2 sliding bevels bent...

Hear, Hear!

David: Welcome to the orange beastie love-in.:2tsup:

What blade did you chose and how many teeth does it have?
(and where are those pics?)

Definately post some pics. Maybe draw a exagerated diagram of the "off vertical" you're refering to. I'm pretty sure I know what you mean but I can't see why adjusting the angle of the blade in...

Geoff,
A standard 10" blade I've looked at has a max 5700 RPM, and the no load speed on my saw is 4500 RPM - the actually speed of the blade when cutting is much less.

A good thought Labrat - one I've had too. It seemed illogical however that a Carbide tip on a blade that can punch through solid jarrah safely at high speeds would have any problems with a woodchip....

Gee guys - talk about hijacking a thread.

Bought WC2000 new and love it :B- won't be selling it any time soon. Can't get past being able to a) fit it in the boot b) move it out the way in the...

I found I needed to adjust the blade to square withn the CS hanging upside down (it's final orientation) in the the WorkCentre - this took care of any minor saw slump. I had similar problems until...

:2tsup:Well done! Where are the pics?!


That would give you the ability to cut three inch timber (76.2mm). Neat.

Carry Pine - try at Stuart.s Holmsglen site:

Go down to "Triton Equipment"...

Tony - try your local library. Mine has a few Triton vids.

How about developing a 12" circular saw that is designed to be used exclusively in a Triton Workcentre (ie: without handles or switches so no one is tempted to use it handheld). I'm sure they'll be...

You're right Jeremy - when I popped out to measure the blade height this morning I misread the rule - it's actually 62mmm.
Thanks for the McJing tip too.

Neither fixing the trigger nor wiring back the guard are in the manual either yet they are essential parts of setting up a saw in at Triton WC.



You'll find it oft said in the Triton threads...

Cheers Butcher - I think you're right,
I've just looked up the current Dewalt 10" CMS and it only has a 2000W motor and a no-load speed of 5000rpm. Given the CS I'm using has a 2300W motor and a...

Bob,
I hadn't thought of that - it's a postive. The load on the saw in a triton is already reduced because less teeth are engaged than if it were handheld. Looking at the WC2K it's about 4-6 teeth...

You could permanently fixed the scale arms to the fence and perhaps achieve the same effect. Has anyone tried this?

Thanks Bob,
I always use the overhead guard with WC, except of course with cuts that don't pass through the piece - cross halving and the like. This one of my major concerns I guess - that the...

Thanks John,
Like many table saw users I adjust the feed rate based on how the saw is handling each individual cut so as to not constantly be maxing out the capacity of the saw and achieve a clean...

Thanks George,
The diameter of the blade is about 19.05mm larger so the radius is 9.525mm greater. This means I only need slightly greater than 10mm extra clearance in the fixed saw guard and the...

The Wattyl website has a downloadable pdf with relevant information on the suitably of their finishes (others may have the same). One of the not-for-profits like Childsafe (Aust and...

I, like many Tritoneers, never take out and never intend to use handheld the powersaw I have permanently mounted in my WC2K.
I have been carefully contemplating for some time removing the saws...

:2tsup: That's pretty slick.

Thumbs, I'm 99% sure Estapol 7008 is a poly - just a two pack one

I've done three kitchens with wooden benchtops using Cabot's Cabothane and can highly recommend it. It's a lot thinner than the gel, and so harder to work with in terms of drips, but it penetrates...

:o... :~...:C ...:doh:

There was a thread I saw once but can't find now after some searching - maybe Stuart knows the one? It had photos of someones WC and the mods they'd made. One of the photos shows how he cut out a...

We're talking about the WC here (not the router table). Sometimes it's easier to move the tool than the timber if the timber's significantly large enough to be awkward.:wink:

Ok - so it was actually a 5 roller for 39.00: 4711414068741 Work Support 5 Roller Craftech YH659 is what it says on the receipt

Don't forget this!

The plumber won't have done it for you and it's a disaster if you forget. A rellie whose a plumber and who I helped install our dishwasher heats up the end of a short length of...

Sol: Different strokes mate. I agree that melamine is ideal but that doesn't mean everyone needs to do it the done way if they don't want to.
(PS: Is mealamine special food grade melamine?:U)

Hi Sandstone,
I think I should expand on something echnida touched on. In the olden days kitchen cabinets were made out of timber frames clad with timber panels. My very first kitchen reno was...

:no:Very sad. My sympathy to Barry's family.
