Sorry again. Radius is 200mm = 7.9" (thus a 16' fan)

Ah sorry! Here's a slap-up (far from scale!) showing the sort of space you'll need. Remember you'll need a bit spare so you can raise and lower the barrel into place to clear the bottom of the...

More pics.....

Hi all. I debated long and hard over this one! After a long period of looking, planning, costing, measuring, contemplating, and repeating, I've decided not to go ahead with my home workshop. Main...

Hi all. I have done lots of projects, but no "fine" woodworking projects. I have a few things on the go - shelving, entertainment unit, that sort of thing, however I would like to learn some nice...

Nah it’s home made to exact spec in 1.2mm steel

I can't seem to PM the creator of this thread? Send me a PM if still looking for a ClearVue extractor - I have a steel fabricated one with a 4HP extractor available. I'll list it shortly in the...

Thanks Tom, but only have single phase power.....

Hey John. Most generous!! Thanks for the response. I'll send a PM. Mat

Pm me Nathan! Where are you and let me know about combo and saw! MAt

Yes i I tend to think along the “buy once” process, however you are also very right - prices are a bit silly on the higher end stuff at the moment! The sc2 is just over $9k. That would mean the...

That seems like good advice. I suppose as long as it’s reasonable quality to start with, then one can see how it all goes. I’m just wary of making sure I don’t get something that just annoys (as...

Thanks for the discussion everyone. I’m in the process of setting up a workshop in a small space, so if I go for a sliding table/panel saw, it needs to be maybe max 2m slider section, and it needs...

Hi mate. I am interested - have left personal details for contact via PM! Cheers, Mat

Most generous! I have a few items I'm thinking about!! Mat

Hi guys. I'm looking at all sorts of small(ish) sliding table saws (SCM minimax SC2, Hammer K3, etc). The Universe, for cosmic reasons unknown, makes sure that the good deals only come up at least...

I've gotten a bit lost along the way Tom! Is this a saw you're selling, or an example of a recommended larger single phase unit? I actually just missed a 3hp single phase near-new saw on a sale...

I think I've been officially frightened off. I'm gonna stick to what I can find in single phase offerings and 15A outlets. Thanks for the discussion though guys! Mat

Thought someone in Vic might be keen? I can’t do 3ph sadly! Leongatha Vic

Wow thanks everyone. Lots to review.....

Yoinks this is all getting complicated and likely expensive....!

Wow thanks Tom. Now I’ve got even more reading to do!! I had looked into installing 3ph at time of a home reno, but I recall it was silly expensive at a time that we were haemorrhaging cash! I...

Thanks! More stuff to learn about! Any suggestions regarding jigs for chainsaw milling? Also, if I had such a chainsaw setup, what should I do about a bandsaw?? Should I still aim for a 3Hp single...

I'm in

I have too many addictions already. Add it to the list! I actually need a chainsaw (for, well, chainsawing). any suggestions for a setup involving a quality chainsaw that can then be mounted in a...

Tanks to those who have responded. Yes - I’d seen that video of the guy using a sled and so on. Big heavy stuff!

This is starting to feel like it may be best to find a local place that can...

Hi guys.

I have regular access to some nice (and often very hard and heavy) hardwood logs and hunks of tree. They are most often spotted gum or redgum. I have pretty limited space, however...

If I'm allowed to post links, then I found this video really helpful (as I'm contemplating the Hammer K3 as an option in a small space). This guy takes you through all the relevant measurements...

Oh now I'm getting a headache!!

That video was really helpful - thanks! My dimensions to work with are almost the same as the dude in the video, so that gives you a good idea (I don't have the built-in cabinets he's made). One...

Thankfully no, however I reckon I'd only consider a combo on a 4-wheel caster system.

Thanks Chris. I hear you. Yeah moving dust collection is certainly a further issue. As for moving at all, given these units are often sold to people like me with little space and the need to move...

handy. I’ll look at all that too! Whew!

Yeah I’ve measured, and issue is, if I pull it straight across to where door is, I don’t think the planer/thicknesser side of the machine would quite allow timber to go out door. The only solution...

Yes I get the feeling it’d definitely need a version of something like Sawstop’s footpedal hydraulic lift mobile base. I have access to a toolmaker so could make/modify one....

Thanks Chris. This seems to be a popular approach. I’m also thinking that if I have a big session squaring up long stock, I could do this in the driveway if a combo machine was on castors.

Ill...

Old thread I know, but if you’re still out there, could you post some pics of pallet jack setup? Has it worked well?
Mat

Thanks for the reply. Yes! I have just started with the cardboard cutout/graph paper (yes I’m old and analogue!) now that I have the dimensions of a few machines. Yes, like everyone on the planet,...

Thanks for such a constructive reply. Yes I agree, it sounds like the mortiising attachment is a bit silly for most, as it sticks out right where you need to stand when running the jointer or...

Thanks to yourself and Derek and yes, that's why I added to this thread. I would love to setup a table saw with slider, a jointer, a thicknesser, and a spindle molder or router table. I would also...

Thanks mate. Yes I’m looking at SCM Minimax (26, 30, lab300), or Felder Hammer, although the letter seems harder to find used and is maybe a fair bit pricier? I understand that maybe the trick with...

Hi guys. I've been following this thread and lots of helpful videos and so on. I am not entirely new to woodworking, but have been wanting to "step it up" for ages!! I have lots of smaller tools...

Still on lookout....!

Hi guys. I may pull the trigger on new, but these get so pricey once I start adding goodies I'd like (and some I'd need), such as Industrial mobile base, overhead dust extractor, and router table!! ...

Don't you hate it when that happens - the second reply will never be as good!
Anyway, yeah I follow. May be an idea. Hey but in meantime there's no link to the "zip bolt" to which you refer....

Ah gotcha Chris. I see where you're going with that....

Here's where we're at, with a (trick of the angle) shot to show what we need to achieve!

I can clamp either in-situ or on floor then lift...

Did you use the Dominos on the "tight" settings and just (carefully) hammer into place? If we can get them right this might almost be enough whilst glue cures?

I have a Festool Domino that can place dominos at 45deg into mitre, which I plan to use. If we get it right this will guide join. I need, however, a clamping method whilst the epoxy cures.

HI Chris. I don't quite follow? I'd like to avoid screw holes as plan to apply most of the finish prior to clamp (will be difficult to work once joined as so big and heavy).
