Check for leaks

I'm looking to reconfigure my 3ph workshop power so I can use my Clearvue and a (planned) CNC machine/vacuum pump.

As I'm looking to replace my 240v 1ph-3ph VFD with a 415v 3ph-3ph unit, can...

Put a Drift master on my Aga600.. Very happy with the results.

Actually could do with a longer rod, but couldn't we all ?

Some feedback on using Cat5 cabling to extend the range of the keyboard.

The RS485 signaling works fine when the VFD is not running, but when it's on there's RF interference which causes minor...

Hi all,

I finally got my $10 RF remote relay off eBay in the mail, so I thought I'd share the instructions for wiring it up.

As I already have the PI1800 keyboard remotely run to the other side...

Some of the "shortcuts" on a Hammer make sense when you look at a Felder design. Eg AD741 vs A3-41. I opted for a used felder instead of a hammer.

Your extension tables clip right onto a felder...

If you're a 1 person operation, you might find it worthwhile and safer to consider a track saw (eg. Makita, Dewalt - Festool is probably out of your budget if you need a table saw too), rail system...

Thanks for the tip.. I hadn't thought of that.. will ground the strap :)

Here's a photo of the keyboard mounted on a 1" piece of steel bar and clamped to my 6" pipework.
It's a 15m cable run using Cat5 cable.

I have the wireless remote relay system enroute, and...

The Agazannis are nice.. but if they do bring in the Lagunas, the SCM Lagunas are just as good but will cost a fair bit new.

OK Since I've got the basic VFD running as well, I have some interest in adding some bling to it. Apart from wiring Cat5 cable from the VFD to a remote plug at the other end of my workshop for the...

Running the unit unloaded risks running too much current through the motor which can burn it out... Not recommended.

Sorry I meant to say Thrust bearing.. But got it all sorted out. :)

Been a big weekend. Got my clearvue running and the saw is working great.

Yes it has a flat wheel tyre and I'm just setting up a 1/4" blade. Doesn't seem to track well unless the blade is in the middle. The rear guide hits the guard if the blade is on the edge so that is...

Having just bought one, my first suggestion is find a used one. If you can't shop around then...

Seek out the Italian design saws from Laguna, Agazanni/Panhans, ACM etc. WA dealer has one old ex...

Thanks for the tip. After some thought, one guide would not do the job.

I ordered Laguna ceramic guides and a Carter stabilizer for 1/4" and finer curve cutting.

If I get another smaller saw eg...

I've recently purchased a bandsaw, and it was suppled with the euro style GL456 brass bushing upper guide, and a wooden block lower guide.
The saw will be used for blades from 1/4" and up to 1".

I've been lurking for a while, about 1.5 years since I bought my CV from Chris Parks. Finally getting it running really soon.

Some ideas for anyone thinking about it:

1. I used the rivet style...

I guess they meant people who say I want to build "XYZ" and I know how to do "ABC" - Can you please tell me how to go from C to X while I buy a $3 part ?

I could imagine that some people go to...

Apparently the reason why I got such poor service was that 99% of enquiries at the counter are people "who want help with their garage projects" and the fact I was asking about a large Dust...

Moving things along, I had a look at the MS-R to figure out what to do with it.

Decided that I should

i. keep the legs and ditch the top

ii. use some surplus 600mm x 32mm wide ikea counter...

Thanks for the photos Ticky,

Looks like a good working setup you have there.

I was thinking the same sort of idea for catching the dust that falls below the table, and am planning to put...

Yes, not my greatest purchase years ago. But it has a cast iron flat top and it's a sturdy table.

I've thought about putting an Incra positioner on it to fix the fence issue.
And a Router Raizer...
