Got an email back from TAFE today, looks like the course is moving to Acacia Ridge in 2013. They will be sending me a reminder when enrolment opens, so I will post same here when I get it.

Cheers...

Nev, there is a discounted rate, probably more if you are on some sort of govt/rehab program.
Feel sorry for you mate, I know Workcover can be a bunch of ####, not form personal experience, but...

Morrisman, have to agree, TAFE is prohibitively expensive now, mostly due to incompetence on the part of the teaching staff, people not wanting to be there but their employer wanting a...

I know this is an old thread, but have a look at www.metalillness.com :: Index in the machine and tool manuals section, they have pretty much any tool I have looked for, but you will need to find the...

Thanks Shed, that is pretty much the same one, only a newer version, the one I am looking at was made in 1992/3.

Anyone know much about these lathes? Looking at purchasing an ex-education one, and just wondering if there is anything specific to look for in an early 90's model.
Also, what standard equipment...

OK, the master input is 'stepped' for different sensitivities, so you need to select which one you will use, and it's pretty much fixed (without extra parts and work involved in fitting a selector...

€100.00 plus shipping? I make that about $130 in our money, and shipping from Sweden is hideously expensive. Can't find any specs on it either, although it looks as if it has a...

Astrodog, it is going to run off 2 separate circuits, the cables will marshal into the the one controller, but be fed from different supplies and also drive different devices.

[QUOTE=_fly_;1493236]How clever are you prepared to make it?
Clever = expensive. Up to you really.

I'm guessing the major use here would be say 3 items where either on turns on one item....

Thanks BobL
Delay timer should be easy, probably add $10 to the parts list, and can have anything from 0-60 minutes in increments no worries. Maybe not on the basic model, but a certainty on the...

Not really the same thing. Both the suggested alternatives are rated for resistive load only. While the power board is self contained, once you connect a 2000W primary tool, you can only connect a...

My partner works as part of the playground manufacturing business, and tells me that aluminium is now cheaper than steel, since the last 2 increases this year.

Coles Springwood and Jindalee dont have it on sale. Will keep looking, or just pay full price, which is still cheaper than other suppliers.
