For those that are curious, BGS will can special order the Bahco 6in double extra slim tapered file (4-188-06-2-0) for $10.86 per piece, and i just ordered them individually where the previous advice...

Ah, I've been meaning to drop in to a meet one day. Thanks for the reminder!

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll keep it in mind. With a 9mo old its a bit harder to coordinate myself to get to markets early enough, but I'll have to remember that option.

Pat, that is a...

Thanks folks. Looks like i might be out of luck on the files.

Does anyone know if Aldi still bring out their Workzone chisels occasionally? I've been tracking their special buys for some time and seen a few different woodworking batches come through but never...

Thanks Lance!

Thanks, yeah my fall back is a bunch of trial and error

I'm hoping someone with a tglide fence and rail kit installed is able to help. I've recently obtained one to retrofit on to a generic tablesaw and, as expected, the holes don't suit.

I assume the...

I thought I had replied to this.

Thanks for the tips. Smaller slivers (~0.5mm) did indeed make a difference.

I have some 63x19mm tassie oak left over so ill play with that as well. Doing my...

Hi all,

I'm looking for recommendations on affordable (cheap?) wood to practice cutting dovetails in. Pine is too soft, I've been using free meranti that i had laying around but noticed that...

Thanks Aldav. I've passed this one up, but the fence is pretty subpar. A piece of 31mm europly screwed to it only helps so far.
The more reading I do, the more convinced i am that the aluminum SS...

So I've been using the saw for a little while now and have noticed that when i clamp the fence down it pulls the back out by ~0.75mm away from the blade (measured front of blade and back of blade at...

Hi all,

I'm looking at buying a 2nd hand drill press and have come across this one for $70. I've only used a drill press 15 years ago in highschool. Is there anything I should check/look out for...

Round pipe.

6- the visual readout is a small triangular pointer that only accurately reads the inches (inches nearest me, mm nearest the table). I considered getting some acrylic and rebating it...

Rust is pretty straight forward. I'll get right in to every groove and scrub it out then seal it something that dries like ptfe or similar.

Looking at the fence, as I'm a little unfamiliar with...

Thanks, you've been a huge help.

In protecting the underside of the top from rust, is it worth pulling it entirely off to prep and paint it, or would wax be sufficient?

Is it feasible to make your own fence system from bunnings materials? Assuming I have an accurate square and patient steady construction.

And is there any use for old pure steel blades? The ones...

Acco, you're right it was. I've climbed all over every part of it that I could reach today, without taking it apart. It looked to be a good condition. Had all the stock accessories and attachments....

Thanks, I'm getting another look at it tomorrow, this time right side up and set up. I'll get some more photos of it then.

While I'll see tomorrow, from the reading, it sounds like these saws...

Hi guys,

I've got an opportunity to buy a Toolmac tablesaw (2005 - see attached). The bloke is asking about $375 for it.

I'm struggling to find much info on it. What would it actually be...

Hi all,

I've been lurking for some time now and and about to start setting up a hobby workshop in the 'garage'.

I've got an opportunity to buy a vintage woodfast bandsaw, see the attached...
