Thanks Bob.

My BS name/brand/maker is simply has moulded into the casting and has a largish P/A on it.

I believe it originally came from a Bunnings workshop of some kind and I would estimate...

Hi all,

I am almost ready to fire up my bandsaw & panel saw. They are both 3 phase machines but the problem for me has been I only have single phase, so I went and bought a single to 3 phase...

Hi all,

I'm looking to buy 2x 400mm saw blades for my panel saw with the 31.75mm spindle. I did my usual tight #### approach, Ebay etc but I'm now a bit wary on the different brands of blades out...

You could try painting them, you will have to touch up the stud that holds them down ( every fifth stud from memory ). I never liked the strip studs, a trained eye could always pick them, I much...

I've been following some of your posts Skip, seems we are both making an investment in machinery.

I'm also looking at Thick/planer's in either combo's or seperates, table saw, bandsaw and dusty...

I really hadn't given the MBS300 much thought until yesterday talking to a gent who used to work for Carbatec.

The advantage for me was he was not getting a sale from our chat and therefore I...

Me too.

Could also throw the MBS300 in the mix. On paper there looks to be a lot of similarities between both the 12" saws.

Okay,

After checking out the 2nd hand three phase Robland, I've gone cold on that idea. So is the carba tec stuff any good?

Has anybody heard any good or bad stories of Rojek? I had a...

Hi guys,

I am tossing up between a few options in some woodworking machinery. So in no particular order:

1, Second hand 3 phase combi machine Robland K260, with 10'' thick/planer, sliding...

Bob,

Any noticible difference in performance either positve or negative?

I was wondering if in hindsight, you just lit a match and burnt the lot...:D

What are your plans for it?

I can recomend the Dunlop enduro, been using it for years although I prefer the next grade down, a 25/60 in foam for backs with a helping of enduro 36/130 for lumber...

Het Bob, I've heard a little about opening up the muffler and putting in a bigger main jet in the carb, please let us know exactly what you do. Considering it for my own saw.

My FIL believed they weren't available due to not having a chain brake and that had consequences with safety in the workforce.
Don't know if the newer models had a chain brake.

My perception is...

I hear ya Bob.
My local dealer only sell the big brand stuff like Stihl, Honda (motor bikes) & John Deere, god bless their souls. I couldn't see them buying in the cheap rubbish out of China, not...

I use the Stihl lube myself, expensive compared to sump oil but I know it's doing the job.

Some blokes from work however...sump oil, motor oil and as I'm in heavy industry/refinery there is a...

I have an 088, FIL has an 090.

I pumped a heap of money into his saw to recon it about 5 years ago, $1400 rings a bell, new clutch, piston & rings the whole works, mechanics stuffed up and that...

Thanks Bob.

It looks like my local retailer has pulled their finger out and got me a price.

Quote on mirotone 2 pack gloss and hardener<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =...

Initially I thought it was made with an open back that then gets webbed up with Jute web, hessian, some padding, and finished off with your choice of fabric that gets stapled on and finished off with...

Folks,

I'm looking for a product to spray on MDF, I previously have used a Mirrotone product that had a part A & part B, mix them up and it gave an excellent hard wearing finish. I was extremely...

I own and love my Rupes. Made in Italy, I nick named her termite- eats wood.
Check them out, expensive $800?? but special.-

I had a bad experience with a " pro " and his scotch guard. I had a customer wanting a scotch guard on a lounge I made her, the fabric colour was called "Butterscotch" so you could imagine it was a...

Depends on a few things I would have thought.

How wide are the boards? One screw may not be enough if they are wide boards but if they are the 75 - 100mm variety it could be okay.

What...

Thanks guy's.

I've heard stories of the PVC explosion. I'm going to look out for some of the blue pipe as suggested in the replies.

Greetings,

I'm setting up a permanent air supply line in my shed ( 18m x 7.5m ) and I'm tossing up between using PVC or rubber hose's. I intend to fix it to the top of my shed's walls going...

Yep, fully agree.
From my 10+ years of working exclusively with leather, the company I worked for recomended the "warm soapy water" as the cleaner and tried flogging of all sorts of leather...

All has been revealed! She wants bedroom furniture.

I said " hey I can make it "

She said " I've waited 10 years already, I'm not waiting another 10 "

Ouch

We've got an 090 that we rebuilt, and tried running skip tooth on it after recomendations from another miller who uses a Husky.

Hated the skip tooth. It was shop bought, not modified. We couldn't...

Which model supersaw? From what I've seen on the web sites they only come in a 10 inch and I think I'm leaning towards a 12 inch saw.

Need some grunt to be ripping up Jarrah as well.

Guy's,...

Beleive me, I found it hard to contain the excitement when she caved in without even a whimper.:D

I've seen the " SWMBO " on the site before, what does it mean???

Thanks Harry.

I have a theory that if come home with the gear and fire it up, she sees the mess it makes, the wife will be compelled to go and get me one herself.:2tsup:

Thanks Groggy,

I had a quote on 3ph power when we built and $20k was the figure. Guess what, we don't have 3 ph power.

I don't know why, but I am drawn to the Jet stuff as well, looks to be...

I never liked the nail strips, we used to call them strip studs.

Web it out or run some timber battens front to rear with a 25mm gap, this will follow the curve of the seat. You could hessian or...

If i needed any rocker springs I always went to Galvins hardware. Don't know if they are over East though, from memory $6 a side??
