Awesome advice Robson, thanks!

Aha! Thanks Claude, I had looked at burrs, I have been using the one in the dremel carving kit for smoothing, but hadn't found any grits, most appreciated! I do some in the round work as well, so...

Thanks Bob. It seemed to come up in preview, but I appreciate the fix.

I have been tearing up tiny stubs of sanding paper for getting into the corners of the carving on this back panel for a box I am making. Still a bit to do to finish this back panel, so I was...

easye, I just had a look on ebay after aldav's post, there is a better value one there. Found one for $65 free delivery with a 40kg load capacity. Not sure whether we can post links for products...

Thanks Aldav, most appreciated.

I found this one on Amazon. Just make sure you check the weight loading, there are other models that are 3.5kg rated for similar money and look a bit flimsy. To be clear, I haven't done this mod yet,...

After wrestling with a donated 5.3kg hitachi table mounted router yesterday trying to get a precise mm adjustment, I am looking to sort out a router lift for it. It is mounted to an old triton router...

+1 on the Hegner. I picked up an older Hegner a couple of months ago locally for $200. It needed $80 worth of parts to bring it up to spec, and an extra $100 on a quick release :wink: that I wanted...

Thanks T91 that's great, I'll shoot Robin an email for a couple of silky oak bowl blanks and a couple of red cedar bowl blanks.

Brendan, does the Canberra shed stock veneer sheets? Looking forward to getting to the box making SIG once the shed opens back up. Between a broken elbow, months of smoke and then covid, I've only...

Thanks for the prompt reply and the manual link Chief, most appreciated.

I have found a cheap but great condition triton 2000 set up with saw, guards and router table that I am picking up. I wanted to mount the router table separately given the issues people seem to have...

I'm in.

Thanks everyone, I am picking it up on Sunday. And thanks Brian, I came across them googling yesterday, it seems I can do some mods including a quick release blade lock on the older model to bring...

Thanks for the confidence, I was pretty much sold on price when I saw it (pun intended), but just wasn't familiar with the older models. Confirming with seller now.

Hi,

This just popped up for sale near me at $195. It is an older model of Hegner, but seems to be in very good condition. Interested in peoples views on price and quality of this generation of...

Hi Hors, I'll take it. I'll send you a pm now.

Ahh, ok, thought they might have built the lot. I'll have a look for any marks on the frame to see if I can identify it. Thanks.

I have been fortunate to have been given my deceased father-in-law's old Crompton and Parkinson belt driven lathe, which we brought back down from Glen Innes a few weeks ago. It measures 1650mm nose...

Thanks Crowie. Loads of good local info on here, lurking and learning at the moment! I'll be getting in touch with the ACT woodcraft guild soon, just waiting for my broken elbow to come good so I...

Hello everyone.

Just joined and looking forward to learning and sharing my wood working journey as well. I dabble in lots of things. I do some pyrography, whittling, carving and have recently...
