I have used cleaning vinegar with excellent results. Does take a little while but is cheap as. My process was:

1. Remove any oils/waxes (rub down with a liberal amount of Metho and dry off)...

I don't get many scammers thankfully, but if I have the time I like to try and keep them on the line for as long as possible. I figure the longer they are talking to me (and getting nothing) they are...

Thanks all

Tonyz - I have replied to your PM. I am wondering if it will produce an improvement, at the moment the two 100mm flexi's are deformed but the inlet area should be mostly unchanged. The...

After getting some feed back and reading the sticky, I set about modding my 2HP dusty. I had originally built a Thein baffle. 100mm inlet 125mm outlet.

I liked it, the impeller was...

I did some rough calcs and came in at approx 220kg, before a shelf, vices etc was added. I am revising my design somewhat. It is still going to hefty

Many thanks all

Yes it will be very heavy, I do however already have an engine crane and a couple of 1.5 ton trolley jacks courtesy of a 4WD project. With some careful thought and pre-planning I...

Some wisdom if you care to share.

I have the lumber from 2 Iron Barks drying in my back yard at the moment, they were felled in the front yard and I am keen to use it. The plan is to build...

My input for what it's worth.

Have the shed built, I have 9m x 12m and it took 3 days from memory. The guys doing the build were on site for half days only as they were the float crew for the...

We went from an electric storage system to an instantaneous gas system. Not long after we went Solar. Should have gone solar from the outset. I fell for the reduced costs line but with a teenage...

That is, when I can find the *##* thing amongst the clutter - how can a bright yellow object still manage to hide itself so successfully?!

You mean I am not the only one to suffer from this:2tsup:...

I have the adjustable square two piece set. Both of them are spot on and were out of the box. They adjust smoothly and lock up with out problems. They are probably the most reached for measuring...

Since a picture is worth a thousand words.

Place the blade in position and slide the glass over the blade, letting the blade spring hold it against the glass. I have a mark on the...

Give it a go, it will be better than nothing. Empty or check the drum often, planers produce heaps of waste very quickly. I doubt it will catch everything so a dust mask would also be an excellent...

I use a thick piece of float glass to set the blades in my jointer. Seems to work alright, simple and repeatable.

My set up with the dust deputy, just as an example if you are looking for ideas.

The drum is a 20L steel oil drum. Vac is a domestic 2400w pet vac, heaps of power and its adjustable. I...

I have an iGaging combo square, straight out of the box it was so close to perfect I couldn't tell the difference. The adjustable T squares were the same. Also have a 900mm straight edge from them,...

If I was building my shed again now, I would do the following:

15 amp outlets everywhere. I wouldn't bother with 10 amp at all
More lights.
Plan for dust collection (wasn't a consideration when...

As a separator it works pretty well, only fine dust gets past it. Until I flooded the drum and ejected a couple of bucket fulls of thicknesser shavings into the back yard. They mowed in.

Many thanks gents

The heavy duct was really only going to be used from the Thein baffle input down to the floor and the two 90deg bends getting from the DC output to the roof duct. I might also...

I am planning on moding my generic 2HP dusty in the near future. Like most people i can't get away from using at least some flexi hose. My google-fu has brought up these options,

Tiger Tail...

Looks amazing, I am following with some interest as I have 2 Iron barks drying in the back yard at the moment. Hopefully in a couple of years I will be milling them down and a Roubo bench will be...

Thanks guys

It didn't snap at the weld, I should have mentioned that originally and no nail strikes. The top guides (bearings) sit just off the blade when its running and with nothing being fed...

I am still very much in the learning phase with the wood working skills and machine setup and could use some advice.

How long is a reasonable expectation for a 1" 3TPI Bi-metal resaw blade...

I use two blocks of HDPE. The bottom bearings died (not really sealed bearings) so in trying to do the right thing and not going out unnecessarily I scrounged around in my "It will be useful someday"...

Could you do me a small favor and send me the dimensions of the locking plate. I think it might fit my old slider. If it does Beyond Tools will be getting an order.

Thanks

I would be going down the rented truck path. Even stripped down it is likely to be a heavy 2 man move. Let the hydraulics do the work.
Also means you get the saw set up and working...

The decision has been taken to make a fence. Sadly a Biesemeyer fence would foul the sliding table when trying to get close to the blade, limiting minimum cut size. I laminated two 17mm pieces of ply...

You can the remains of the removed plate on the right and a small corner just behind the edge of the wheel. It sat about 10mm out form the dust port. It...

Another option - W4224 - BP-355 Wood Band Saw | Hare & Forbes Machineryhouse although a little more expensive again.

I have one, does need some slight modification to get the dust collection...

Thanks Mark

I have been toying with the idea of making one, when the fabrication skills have improved. Or modifying an off the shelf fence. The other idea was to chase up the original manufacturer...

A question for the more knowledgeable:

Is there an aftermarket Biesemeyer style fence that does not require the rear support rail?

My 21 year old sliding table saw has a rip fence leaves a lot...

The stripping down and rebuilding wasn't that bad. I had to pull all the height adjusters and the slide rails for the mortiser table, they were frozen in place. There was a considerable amount of...

I think I found a similar manual online awhile ago. I checked my machine it is also a 1998 model, serial number is a little tough to read but it looks like 784/1. It does still have the Gregory...

I have had the machine about 18 months. The sliding table, jointer and thicknesser have had a run but i dont have cutters for the shaper or mortiser. I will get some when i can justify spending the...

Late to the thread, new member. How are you finding your machines? I have the same machine. Mine had not had an easy life, needed a full rebuild with all the bearings/belts/blades replaced along with...
