Sadly, it was easy to fix, so I didn't have an excuse to replace it with a better one...

Bollocks. It's just where the margin is.

I'm inclined to think this is a fairly old piece of wisdom (no offence to rwbuild), back when fuels didn't have much in the way of anti-varnish additives.

I also don't stop infrequently-used...

My Stihl dealer tells me they tend to land with a lighter-gauge chain and bar.

No offense taken... I am, as I said at the beginning, crap - and I know it.

But what I now understand is that I am trying to run before walk...

So long as its strong, that's all I care - I'm...

Any suggestions? New, cheap (Millers Falls Chinese import), Honda-knock-off engine.

I'm inclined to just run a tank of fuel through it under load (pumping water).

It's nice to know I may not be quite as incompetent as I feared. I'll try the various suggestions (including, of course, practice, practice, practice).

Thanks

Typically 1.6mm, I think.

G'day -
I do bits and pieces of fabrication around the place, typically with 25mm RHS. A bracket here, a strut there, whatever.

I have a little 115A stick welder with (I think) 2.5mm sticks.

I have a Wood Boss MS250 for light work and a Farm Boss MS391 for the heavy stuff.

I picked up the 391 from eBay - a new insurance replacement; as I recall, about $800.

The 391 is a beast;...

What, the children or the jig?

The children are just bloody hard work, but nothing a good boot up the #### won't fix.

The jig, pretty easy. Just follow the instructions carefully.

Here's the workbench I made the younger boy (scrap ply):

I'm probably not the best person to answer your questions, sorry.

A small boy is going to be very happy come Christmas:

Did you get a chance to take these photo, Avery?

If you would, I would appreciate it. I'd "drop in" to my "local" Carba-Tec- but it's about two hours away...

My first thought - but it measures 3335mm, as per the Carba-Tec website.

That, Rob, is highly likely; it's a big bugger.

Thanks, but not really - apart from the admonition to check everything on a second-hand tool.

At some point I will check for run-out and coplaniarity; however, the blade tracks fine.

What...

G'day -
I recently bought a second-hand one of these.

I was hoping someone with one would be able to send me a close-up photo of the top wheel hinge.

On mine, the tension lever will not...

Thanks; I didn't do much, though - I just pushed a router.

I used a big (2050W) GMC router as it was the only thing I have that suited the bushing.

I have a couple of small (1200W) GMCs that I...

thanks; bugger-all to do with me, though - it's the jig

i haven't bothered with a mounting plate, as i think my first real job with the jig will be to make it's own box/stand

i think i'll make...

just got my leigh d4r jig (thank you, ebay)

about an hour (and one old radiata shelf) later:

A cheap extension cord may be 1mm2 or even 0.75mm2 (the cross-section of the conductors within it). I have a table somewhere showing voltage drop (in effect, volts turned to heat) of various...

It's not a midget. It's small but perfectly formed.

You're just down the hill from me...

I'm thinking if I go the Leigh path, the Triton will stay in the table anyway - it's a big, heavy bugger. I'd use one of my smaller routers on the Leigh jig.

That was my original thought - but the answer was (on a 2HP unit, at least), no.

Yep, just calico.

As it's to go outside in a separate "shedlet" I'm not too fussed about the blowby. I'm going to leave a larger-than-usual eave - space above the wall, but below the roof - to...

Oh - I should have added to the options:

Buy a Leigh jig for the joinery work and stick with what I have for the edge-routed, guide-bearing-supported work.

I've decided I want a good router table and fence.

This I know:
I want to do dovetails and box joints, from small boxes to furniture pieces on it.

I currently have a GMC router table with a...
