Hi Smokey,
Recently I got some more metho from Haymes. I can't remember the exact prices but I think he quoted for the 1 litre approx $7.50. Cheaper if you buy a 4 litre container approx $24.00....

Hi Helmut,
Thanks for moving me onto the active list for a set of chisels.
I would like to have the Figured Tasmanian Blackwood handles.
Please let me know what I need to do now in regards to...

Hi,
Looks like I'm too late to order any chisels. But if another run is made or a set becomes available I would like a set of option 5 chisels if possible. Please let me know either way. Thanks

Thanks everyone.

Graeme - has the motor ever got in your way of your turning on the 1442?

Alex

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if anyone has used the Woodcut - Tru-grind Tool Sharpening system?
Is it any good?
How easy is it to use?
Do you get good results on your gouges/chisels?
Thanks

Alex

Thanks Paul.
Does your headstock on the 1642 rotate?
I'm wondering whether that feature is really necessary.
What would the benefits be?

Alex

Thanks guys.
I looked again at the lathes. What I didn't notice before was the positioning of the motor. It actually points into the lathe and is pretty close to in line with the headstock. While...

Thanks GJ

Its surprising that when you read the specs it only says that the headstock slides. The 1442 specs say that it rotates 360 degrees.
It must be an error then.
If your 1642 rotates then...

Thank you all, for your thoughts.
Its a shame that the Jet 1642 headstock does not pivot.
How important is it to have a pivoting headstock?

Of course it does not have a “turning head” but that...

Hi Guys,
I'm looking at the Jet lathes. In particular model JWL-1442 and JWL-1642.
Does anyone have one of these lathes?
Please let me know what you think of them.
Any problems?
Would you...

Hi Graeme,
I was wondering if you could let know how you went with the Triton router and Unilift combo.
Do you feel that this combo is a good way to go?
Any benefits noted with the Unilift...

Whats the "Silverglide"? Where can you get it?

Thats exactly what I was worried about. I didn't want to apply something to the table that would come off onto the wood and interfere with either gluing or staining.
Ryan - that spray sounds pretty...

Hi Guys,
I've just purchased a jointer. Whats the best way of maintaining the table?
Particularly to prevent rust etc.
Thanks

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience in the Ingersoll Rand air compressors. Particularly the 10 amp unit.
Are they worth the money?
Thanks

Alex

Thanks bigAl.
I now want one.
Could anyone please tell me how easy is it to use on big sheets or long lengths of wood? Quite often you do not have any free hands left to hold any pushblock etc. Is...

Pardon my ignorance.
But what is a Grrr-ripper?
Thanks

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if anyone has any experience in obtaining electrical tools from the US? I see a few are getting handtools from the US for a much cheaper price.
Are these electrical tools...

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if anyone has any experience in the LEDA branded machinery? Any good?
In particular the jointers and bandsaws.
I was looking at the 8" jointer model WJ-350.

I have seen on a couple of US shows where they used and recommended "mineral oil" to stain their cutting boards.
Is this the same stuff?
Or is it something else.

Hi all,
I have a couple of really basic questions that I was hoping someone may help me with.
1) The finish that uses shellac and then traditional wax buffed over the top. Is that all that is...

Hi,
I have a Jarrah setting under a Pergola.
Although it is not in direct sunlight, I do get greying of the timber over time.
I use Cabots "Garden Furniture Oil".
It works a treat. After oiling...

Thanks a lot everyone.
Haymes certainly the man!
I had no trouble at all in getting 100% methylated spirits from them.
I hadn't really noticed them before but I will definately be visiting again....

I am in the process of building myself a workbench out of Jarrah. (Why jarrah? Only because I love the look of the wood)
What would everyone recommend to finish off the workbench with?
I guess I...

Greetings from Adelaide. I am a "first time postee!".
I recently bought the U-Beaut Dewaxed White Shellac to try out. It states that I should mix it with 100% Industrial Methylated Spirits.
But...
