The recess needs to be bigger than the bushing to allow for alignment. So 70mm is the size they recommend.

As for the router, not to keen on smashing away at this wood. It's pretty damn hard. ...

the new bushing is ~63mm dia. circle, as can be seen in the diagram above.

I think a 70mm holesaw bit would work for a template, only $30 from the crap green box, think I'll just go that route.

things have been very slow the last week, the way I started off I was hoping to see this one in as little as 2 weeks, but there are always things ( namely kids ) that inhibit progress.

it was a little tedious changing bits all the time but a pretty easy way of doing dead accurate D/T's. I would of used the bandsaw but it broke.

thats the main issue isn't it, we need another 1 stop shop for competition, because unless your prepared to deal with all the little retailers to get what carbatec has, there isn't an alternative. ...

Hi all, the time has come to build a proper workbench.

fed up with using the same horizontal surface ( not even a bench really ), it wobbles, its sagged despite 2 2x4's under the bottom. It's...

Yeah I rang, they have a spare $220. 1/3 the total cost of the machine, no offer of a courier. Luckily the drill press is the only Chinese machine I own, and if I could find a decent...

I've had great dealings with Brisbane for a Leigh dovetail jig. Pity I had to go 2000kms away for that.

Great stuff, enjoyed the read, and hope the bench serves you well

Thanks Matt

I've finally got the Clearvue installed, and now comes the fun part of hooking all the machines up to it and reducing the noise down to a more bearable level.

If you used leads and plugs instead of actual outlets that might be classes different, but my understanding was that even plug ends had to installed by licensed ppl.

Love the RO 90. But it is a little wieldy at times

best Festool advice, buy it all:p

Just tools are great for anything, not just Festool

Anthony at Ideal tools is great, has the best combination/bundle of tools as well, not to mention his points system

I was all set to go for a clear-vue until there stopped being an Au distributer.

so the question now is, which one?

the 3 main machines all run 5" ports, the biggest being the A3 31 310mm...

if your not going to use it heaps then the desalt is a good choice, get the aftermarket blades and its included blower (if you dont have a DE) will be better.

I was primarily looking at the C3-31, but then had concerns about a full on all-in-one machine so shifted my focus to the a3-31 and either the K3 or B3.
