I'm fairly sure i have seen it at 4 or 5mm - but have no idea any more where to get it - I have some that is unfinished - it was used by laminex occasionally as the top and bottom sheet on their...

Thanks will give them a go ... as for stainless - i'd need 316 for marine and it would be a nightmare for scratches - not to mention exxy!

I have one of these machines and the tables were out of line (still are a bit, but its cutting better) i had to remove some of the pins that they insert after they have 'lined' the tables up...

Yeah I am rapidly unliking them, it only takes 2 seconds to make it square (2 levers and a 200mm square) but hit it too hard with a board etc.. and out it goes..

Looks like i'll have to try and...

Thanks CT

I have checked the blades and they were all equal height (i have refitted / sharpened them several times) however the outfeed table wasnt exactly level with the blades meaning that the...

Hi Guys and thankyou for your ideas and explanations.. they are all tucked away nicely in my head now!

Thanks

G'day guys.. me wanting some more inspiration please!

i have alredy cut a curve on the deck step and sanded it back using a belt sander which was easy! the curve was an external curve so the belt...

Thanks Derek

Good idea.. i may well try it just to see what it turns out like.. im assuming that you add the sawdust until its a gooey paste..? the jarrah dust i added yesterday (the fine stuff...

Thanks again Vernon i hadnt thought of the ROS but yes that would work well once the belt sander has taken the top off the resin.. the differential hardness i have found to be a problem (probably due...

OK tried some last night, just clear with no filler looks great, will sand down today to see how it looks finished.

Few questions.. the epoxy is incredibly runny which is great for getting it...

...

Thanks Vernon.. thats exactly what i am looking for!

Hi Guys

As a bit of a perfectionist i have run about 500lm of decking through my thicknesser so get it as nice as i can (105x30 jarrah reeded one side) as i bought the stuff cheap from auction at...

Thanks for that pointer there Les, My other half works for a company that deals with carbide tools so they are picking boths sets up (as i have trashed both now) on wednesday and will return them to...

thanks for making that point James.. appreciated..

well im a fair bit younger than you a probably a lot greener than you too.. im also a bit of a perfectionist! im never happy with anything i do.. but it never stops me in the last 3 years i have.......

Steve

sorry about that :) was given a free set when i bought the machine, so trying to keep them as a 'good' set for finer work. i guess it doesnt make much difference.. but yes the sharpening over xmas...

Hi guys

Thanks again for the info! The deck isnt against a residence so no problems there. it is below 400mm and there is about 50-75 from gravel and weed control matt to the bearers all timber below the...

timbecon said in the new year their costs are going up 30-40% but they are absorbing as much as they can and are going to try only for an increase of 15%, i noticed carbatecs prices have gone through...

well following the huge response :D i plumbed for a belt driven Sherwood SCSB-305-DB . Timbecon had none of the normal 12" saw in so he kindly...

Thanks for that reassurance Michael fortunatley as its in the garage there is nothing on the walls and all single brick so all should be visible and localised.. i'll be happy even if i only have to...

Thanks for that.. they are stacked on timber.. stupid me! like i said i cant see any tracks.. so how they got there i do not know! the concrete is for next year we are still on block pavers in...

by that i guess you mean if they havent bored into it? i was under the impression that termites dont eat into the wood. Having had a close look at the timber i can only really see the adhesive that...

Hi Guys

Looking for a SCMS as a matter of urgency! have several jobs i need to do with it, the first being chopping of jarrah decking (105x35) followed by cross cutting of some 250-300mm marri.....

Hi guys

im still fairly new to perth, so dont know many suppliers.

im looking for a company that sells the gloss white vinyl used in vinyl wrap (so i can make some 33mm end panels for the...

yeah that was my thinking but then my untrusting side also said that the particle board would split long before the screws bent or sheared, so would screw pullout force be stronger than the force...

Hi guys
