Yes its the W454 (240V).

I don't know what price Clipsal is quoting for. Probably for a case of 6. I've seen them individually online for about $80. Still a lot pricier than a 20A flat pin socket...

Zac and Havabeer, thanks for your replies and concern, but I know what machine I got :)

I will clarify. The saw is a single phase 3HP machine, which to my estimation would normally need a 15A...

Well it finally arrived the other day and whenever I get a minute I've been removing cosmoline from the cast iron with kero.

Wiring remains an issue for now. I think I'd prefer a 20A outlet...

For future reference for those looking for thin spanners - try searching for a "cone wrench" sold by bike shops and online suppliers. They come in a limited range of sizes for adjusting bearing cones...

Alta, I saw your post and was immediately intrigued (having just "decided" to get something else :D). Here's a You tube video I found for the bigger 2.6m brother

Thanks for your replies, good to hear from a couple of actual users.

Looks like there is no substantive reason to avoid the Hafco, so that's what I'll go with.

Thanks again.

After years of pondering and saving the choice of tablesaw has come down to these two machines:

Mark, I have nothing to offer on set-up tips, being a newbie myself. However this machine is on my list and I'm interested to hear your feedback once you get it set up. Cheers.

I'm afraid I tend to agree, while I can understand the desire to have a more elegant looking piece and introduce self-centreing, I fear it will introduce more problems than it solves. It is...

I have a set of Bose nise-cancelling headphones which are very nice and comfortable. The noise cancelling is pretty effective, even in a workshop. However, I don't believe that cancelling this...

Yeah I get the Total tools emails and texts as well. I'm not saying no-one sells Bosch. I'm saying Bosch don't import their better tools into Australia. You won't find any of the tools from the...

Well my Mafell MT55 is the principal reason why I have the FSN rails, so yes I am all too aware of Mafell stuff and how damaging it is to my wallet :U. Actually I bought the FSN rails locally...

I guess that's true at least for battery operated stuff. But apart from drill/driver, I'm not really interested in battery power for my own use.

It doesn't help that the entire tool market is...

I've been a fan of Bosch product for a long time, but their current "presence" in WA is frustrating, and I'm wondering if it is an issue in other states as well. It seems that they do not stock...

I would do this in preference to any of the saws listed. Particularly if you need to do the project right now.
Or make a DIY track, which will have the advantage of reducing edge chipping, the same...

Very generous offer!

Thanks but I am in Perth so not really doable.

I got there in the end. Went with option 2 as mentioned and used West Systems Epoxy and microfibre filler. First layer glue...

Thanks all for your advice. Much appreciated.

I'll probably go with screws, but the cauls-with-packers method is very intriguing
As to adhesive I'm leaning toward epoxy now that I have laid the...

Hi there,

Long time lurker, first time poster.

Currently in the process of building a workbench. As I usually do with DIY projects, I've gone way overboard, and the worktop is a bit of a...
