actually, found that these posts are rated. Any reason why these couldnt be used instead of 2No 90x45 bearers?
...

what about using 90x90 H4 posts as bearers? would that work?

thanks for your replies.
I will definitively change the bearers. NS timber have 90x45 lvl 13, I presume this would be better than pine.
as for the footings, I was going for 200mm structure with say...

Hi All,
I am about to start building a small low height deck 2.4m x 3.6m.
I have check span tables but just wanted to double check if all sizes sound reasonable.
I will have 9 posts 90x90 spaced...

Sold!

hi Danoc
sorry, someone is supposed to come to pick it up today. I would let you know if the deal falls through

Price drop, 650

Fixed!
It was a bit silly. The jointer outfeed lifts to become a thicknesser. When down, there are a couple of screws that maintain distance to the cutter block. I only had to screw a bit further...

I bought the biggest cable I could find, 2.5mm2 per wire, which is superior to the one used for campervans, rewired it and.... the same. When I connect it, the machine makes a short humming sound and...

thanks Ross
I did look at the sunnybeaches dud and he might be onto something, these machines have some many connecting safety buttons and all connected in series. I just know of 3.
I looked into...

Thanks Ross
I have closed the door and the lever points to the 9 oclock position. I also opened the fuse cover and all looks ok with a green light on. Still no luck😭

Just put together my new Minimax C30 and basically... I cannot get it to run.
I have pulled the 2 safety stops, checked the power and so on and nothing happens. Just wondering if there is a trick...

price drop = 750

Selling my sherwood thicknesser. I bought in January last year and has had sporadic use mainly for pine. I have not rotated the knives and it still gives a great finish. Price: 850 AUD. Pick up from...

After a long mental safari, which took me from sawstops to Chinese sliders to hammers and finally to the SCM's, I narrowed down to the C26, C30 and lab300. I eliminated the 26 as I think I would miss...

Hi Illvibe
did you ever built your sauna using white cypress pine? how did it go? I am thinking of doing the same
cheers
Leo

This is a real puzzle to me. If money was no an issue I would definitely buy the Format4. As money is an issue, I had planned to get a sawstop and I almost pressed the button during the sales at...

Derek/ JK
thanks so much for your informative responses.
I am very much like you working on relatively small pieces and not really too worried about ripping with the track saw and bandsaw.
I...

Hi JK
Thanks so much for your thoughts. I am also stretched, however I am not entirely sure if a 1.2m slider is going to feel a bit short in time for me and this is why I was looking at the lab300....

Hi
Just wondering if there are any owners of either C30G or Lab300 machines who might want to share their experiences with these. I went through all the Hammer and Robland range so I am now down to...

Hi Wongo
I will take it if it is still available
thanks
Leo

Hi Guys,
just wondering if you know wood alternatives for a barrel sauna. I was looking at the price for Western Red Cedar and it is fairly high at the moment. I was told that White Beech would also...

I dont really use pine any more, however just recently my wife asked me to make her a cutting bench. I bought non structural pine from bunnings at 6 bucks for 90mm x 35mm sections 2.4m long. Put them...

I built one of these for my workshop and decommissioned weeks later in favor of forced ventilation. The filters work, however, even in my small shop, they clogged up very quickly. The thing is a big...

Hi all,
I am planning to buy a 2HP dusty as i want to get a 13in thicknesser and a 14in bandsaw.
what I have decided so far:
- i will buy a generic 2HP unit from H&F and do the modification of the...

Thanks for the review Dave.
I wonder how the unit has performed in the last few months. I have read in this forum that finding carbide replacements is difficult.
Otherwise, is the thicknesser still...

BobL that's beautiful. Simple but great ideas there.

My friend saw the bill for teak and decided against it. The vanity is still going to be in wood but I will have to epoxy seal it and apply a...

thanks Ian
I haven't done veneers and wouldn't like to learn for this project as it is not for myself :). I am ok with the exposed sides and faces in solid teak as there is no much volume in those,...

I have the benchdogs square and it is very good. Easy to place on the track and it is always square.

Hi,
I am about to start a bathroom vanity out of teak. As teak is so expensive, I was thinking of building the back and under side panels out of another material.
Does anyone know what would...

Thanks for all your answers.
Just a question for those who have a laguna or a rikon or a hammer. How are your experiences with dust collection. My shop is tiny and dust control almost controls my...

thanks for the advice.
Unfortunately i am in a tiny workshop and even the 14in bandsaw is a push.

I have also considered the Laguna and saw it at the Carbatec shop, it looks solid, however i...

Hi All,
Probably this question has been repeated before, still it would be good to have an update on people's experiences.
I am thinking of acquiring a 14in bandsaw (cant fit a bigger machine in my...

BobL
I went through other responses you have given in the past to other participants and also prepared a couple of sketches with my dust extraction options as I became paranoid as to where the air...

BobL, Thanks so much for your reply. So informative!
I could open a hole in the partition wall i built and install that. I only need to put a few meters of ducting to get to the garage door.
My...

Hi,
I am looking for some advice on dust control.
Just recently moved to a house with limited space for a shed. I have managed to price away a portion of the garage with a partition wall so I have...
