Hi Gnu62,
I particpated in the first chisel buy and needed some more to infill a fair few missing sizes, so participated in the second. I had hoped for a quality full set to use. Unfortunately that...

I have to agree with Gnu52. It would be nice to know when this is likely to be finished. I put ~$400 into it around a decade ago. I don't know if Thumsucker is still on the forum but I believe he is...

Bob,
Thanks for starting the thread, it has provided some interesting reading.

I think the first principle to put in place with all members of the shed is that safety is a shared responsibility....

Entirely possible that it is imported. It does have their brand on it in the catalogue but that is easy to arrange. It would be interesting to find out.

Just thought I'd share a bit of what I know about Carbitool. No affiliation in any way on my part. They are usually at the Working With Wood shows and are the last remaining Australian manufacturer...

I totally agree with Master Splinter. In the 70's and early 80's new carpet and cigarette smoke in houses made it hard to do formaldehyde monitoring. In current houses the modern products would be...

Alpine are a local manufacturer, based in Victoria. I believe they are owned by Nelson Pine Industries out of NZ which is in turn controlled by a Japanese company. They are a reputable manufacturer...

Hi,
It's hard to say what the Indonesian plant was using. The resins are fairly universal though free formaldehyde does vary. LFE resins are more expensive that ones with higher free formaldehyde....

Hi,
You need to have a look at the material safety data sheet (MSDS) from the manufacturer of the MDF. The main issues with the product are considered to be the fine dust when cut or machined and...

Derek,
I worked for Ralph Symonds the plywood people may years ago and they always used UF glues for curved laminations. The two souces mentioned above are the only sources that I know of for small...

Chambezio,
Many thanks for your reply and confirmation re twist. :)

This is the second batch of rosewood and both were kiln dried at the mill. The first batch sat for nearly two years in my...

I've been trying to build a dining table out of NSW scented rosewood and have have had a lot of movement in the boards after machining. The biggest problem is twist. This is happening to boards that...

Helmut,
I am OK to drop my 225mm set to help get to the right sheet number. I need the rest of my order so please leave it in.

Eximo is really good quality. They supply to a lot of industrial users. Typically the straights are inexpensive and the curves and splts mutch more expensive.

I used a sheet metal place in...

Lee Valley sell plastic chisel guards Chisel Guards - Lee Valley ToolsI have some and they work well. I put them on prior to putting the chisels in the canvas roll. I also alternate the chisels...

You could try this FESTOOL DOMINO Joining System
if you want to go all out. It will give him everything he needs.:2tsup:

Really good to see. I enjoy your work and commentary.:)

Try searching the site under Murphy Bed. I've seen a few posts on the subject. No experience myself.

Helmut
Please put me down for an option 2 as well as my other bits. Blackwood handles please.
Thanks

Helmut
Options 5, 6 and 7 please. In Blackwood.

Have to admit that I had forgotten about HD3. MDF products are available in a range of densities depending on wood species and equipment.

I think the original question was in relation to American...

DJ,
Mine arrived this morning and look magnificent! :D A huge vote of thanks to you and TS for making this happen. I agree with the others, the quality is excellent. Definitely tools that will be...

Depends if it is mould or mildew. If it is mildew you could try mixing up a bit of napisan in a little sprayer and spraying they affected areas. The product is made by Carter Holt Harvey so you could...

Thanks Anthony

Anthony,
The info came from Festool in Australia. The comment was that the OFK was meant only for laminate trimming and that the MFK for heavier duty work ie some light routing. I now have a small...

Anthony,
There is a difference between the OFK and MFK motor assemblies. The MFK has different motor electrics with overload protection evidently the OFK does not. I've tried really hard to get MFK...

Buy some Weathertex sheet at a timber yard. It is often used for signs and should last OK. MR MDF will not last very well. Weathertex is made with the original masonite process using durable...

I Agree with Groggy. I also have a number of pre loved fetool machines and have not had any trouble. Over time the prices paid vary between half retail and more than 3/4 of full price. Occasionally...

I ran an MDF factory for a couple of years and worked in the industry for over 10 years. The higher density still falls under MDF. Short answer you can't buy it here.

You probably will not be able to find an High density MDF in a thicker board in Australia. Standard density MDF can be form 650 to 800 Kg/m3., depending on thickness. Thin board around 800 to 1000...

I have an older Felder combination and use a magswitch magnet up against the back of the fence to stop the end of the fence from moving. Works a treat.

I'm in.

I have the RO 150 and the ETS150/3 and find them to be an excellent combination.:)

I think form ply has a release agent in the surface to ensure that it lets go of the concrete as well as a heavy film surface. On other film plywood the surface coating may be a bit lighter than form...

I have an old Felder combination machine with a similar fence set up (free floating at one end). I've used a switchable magnet (attached to the cast iron table at the back of the fence) to stop the...

After over 2 years of research I decided to go with Bill's design.The shape of the inlet, the air ramp and the cone design all ensure excellent separation. In addition the air foil design and...

I've been emailing back and forth with Bill recently. The 14" cyclone including 16" blower with a 5hp 3 phase motor was ~$2,300 delivered to Sydney including freight GST and duty. The filters are...

Martin,
I suspect this is way too late. I joined the forum yesterday.
I will provide the email and the details. If it can't be done, so be it.
