Does anyone have any experience with the Sherwood Round Body Router? Are they a good brand?

The blurb on the sellers website says: " With 2400W (3 1/4HP) input and 1800W (almost 2 1/2HP)...

That's right Tonyz! And I agree the Trition (of all models!) are just a good as a fill in until you get a real table saw. But it's what I have the room for at the moment. The moment that changes,...

The plenty of RAM and a decent graphics card requirements might be an issue on my current machine. Looks like I will have to upgrade in the future! :D

Can anyone recommend some good programs for drawing plans and making cut lists for projects? Free would be perfect, but I get that you sometimes have to pay to get the good stuff. :rolleyes:

The Whitworth thread design was the first thread standard in the world. It is/was based on a fundamental triangle with an angle of 55° at each peak and valley. The Sellers thread used by the USA had...

Now hush your mouth! *Paw Rugg mutterings* :D

I got a Triton 2000 workcentre from DaveVman! I just have to wait for it to be shipped here. And before anyone asks, even with the cost of the freight this worked out cheaper than buying any of the...

Dare I bring up the monster that is British Standard Whitworth? >:3

Technically, the US uses US customary and not the imperial measurements. For example, an oil drum holds 55 US customary gallons but only 44 imperial gallons.

Best. Reply. EVER!

I've been reading a lot of old ShopNotes magazines lately, and I've realized that the yanks use different terms to everyone else. Go figure!

They call a slot that runs with the grain a groove, one...

Sweeeeeeeet! I'll continue looking, but more importantly I'm going to take my time. And it's nice to get out of the house!

It didn't happen... the old guy sold it to someone else before I got there. I hope I haven't committed a forum faux pas! =P

@tonyz - I'll try to remember to do that! No promises though - I've got a lot of projects I want to start now! And the weather is now...

Found one locally. Thanks everyone! Now... how do I change the thread title from WANTED to SOLVED?

Yeah, I'd give that one a pass even if nothing else turns up! It would be better to come up with a plan B than to buy something that sounds like it needs a lot of work to get it up and running again....

Thanks mate!

This will be nostalgic for some, and educational for others! It's full of tips and tricks that would be useful to any Triton workcentre owner regardless of model.

I am look Triton Workcentre 2000 to use in my shed. I plan to use this mostly for crosscutting and as a table saw substitute while I save up for a proper table saw. A riving knife attachment and a...

@DaveVman - thanks! I'll try to find one closer first, but if not I'll bite the bullet and accept the freight charge. If I haven't found anything in my state in a month or so I'll give you a yell.

I'd love to have a Triton Workcentre (2000 series) to use my circular saw as an alternative to a table saw while I save up for a proper machine. But they're no longer in production and the...

I misread 'wood turning' as 'woodworking'... Crap... I hope a mod can move this to the right section!

Edit:

I reported the thread myself just in case.

Thanks! =D

OK! OK! I'll update it to Aldinga Beach, South Australia! Ruin my fun with your logic!

And if anyone does have one they want to sell, I want to buy!

Judging from all the replies, it seems that a table saw might be the better choice for my first purchase, but I really need more tools than just a table saw.

I am currently thinking of getting...

I've been going through my collection of ShopNotes Magazines and I've come across several DIY power tools for the shop. Everything from a homemade drum sanders to belt powered sharpening stations...

DomAU, what about brands of band saws then? Any you can recommend?

Cgcc - a Makita 1.4m track may be $99, but that doesn't include the plunge saw that you use with the track! And you can only use the Makita plunge saw models XPS01, XPS02, and SP6000J. And as I...

Starting out was probably the wrong choice of words. I've been at the local community shed for a about a year, so skills aren't an issue. I just need to start working at home.

And I looked into...

I think I will make a track saw to use - I found a design in an old ShopNotes magazine (Issue/No 19) and I think it will suit my purposes perfectly! The 'carriage' for the saw 'hooks' into the...

Thanks mate!

Would you recommend I buy a tracksaw or would this be something I could make? I think I've seen something like those in the old ShopNotes magazines I've come across.

I plan to make small boxes for the most part, but I would like to be able to make as many things as possible up to small furniture such as night stands or tables. I currently have a lot of hand...

I'm just getting started in woodworking and I'm looking at one of my first large purchases. While I would like a table saw my workspace (such as it is) is extremely limited in size/area so a table...

Hello everyone! I'm another newbie just getting started in woodworking. I have a lot to learn!
