Not really necessary to call me a forum troll simply for explaining my experiences that were different to yours.

There is a difference between the machine set up tolerances needed for accurate...

Like I said the machine can get accurate results but the machine I had did not have repeatable accuracy. 0.1mm is pretty good I agree but you need to know you are going to get this all the time and...

I could see for myself in the end that the table flatness did not seem to have an impact on performance once the coplanar adjustment was accurately done. The problem with the machine is...

I probly won't use it very often after i finish the deck which is why I went for the bosch for only around $220 which had some good features on paper (dust/chip ejection from either side with a...

Got the new planer today but it has exactly the same problem as the last. I have asked for a refund and will look for something else.

If I have the tool upside down with the straight edge on top and move the cutterhead by hand the blade lifts the straight edge and moves it forward about a cm. Its is much more than just kissing it...

The blades can't be sharpened and are disposable. The have two edges so you can flip them once dull. They are fixed in position with the intent to make setup easier (just fixed in the wrong...

I have contacted the store where I bought it and they are getting in touch with Bosch.

Am I right in my assumption the blade height should be the same as the rear base plate? What is the setup on...

I am building a deck at the moment and have just bought a Bosch GHO 26-82 Professional Planer to remove some high spots off the bearers that had a bit of a bow.

I have received the planer and...

I am now looking at the hammer.

I took mine back and got a refund. It can be painstakingly setup to get reasonable results but the unacceptable aspect for me was repeatability. Any time you moved anything the calibration needed to...

I have noticed a couple of other issues as well.

There is slop in the table height adjustment. When you move the lever the eccentric rod it is immediately attached to turns immediately but the...

I dont have a coplanar problem. My problem is the tables aren't flat.

Thanks for the advice. I have contacted Gregory's to make a warranty claim.

My machine is brand new. I would be interested to know if this is common to other jpt310s as well or just mine.

Finally got my jpt310hh from Gregory's. Spent most of today getting the jointer tables coplanar again (this was nowhere near right after Gregory's changed the standard head over to the hh). I haven't...

I have one. Heaps of torque. Make sure you drill pilot holes though because you or more likely to rip the head off the screws with this driver.

It says it comes with a 15A plug. Can you still plug a 15A (or 10A) plug into a 20A outlet?

I have made an order. Just need to get a 15 amp circuit and outlet installed now. Anyone know what sort of money this could cost?

I did notice but cant see any reason for dramatic changes in that amount of time. Aussie dollar is falling but effects of that are probably not being felt straight away.

That was a good price! Where did you get it? I am about to get one and the best price I have been offered is 3400 with a mobile base and delivery (the extras would only account for 200 or so).

I've decided to go with the jet given the price on the hammer is beyond my means and can't be justified.

I have made an order (subject to paying a deposit) with Gregory Machinery at Richlands...

Indeed necessary for me. I have a single car garage already shared by a car, table saw, router table, dust extractor, workbench and floor standing shelves.

What was the price on the hammer and where did you get it? Did you get the spiral cutterhead option?

Cheers

I am about the buy a Jet JPT 310HH combination planer/thicknesser from Carbatec for $3299 and am wondering how this compares to the Hammer A3 31 with the spiral cutterblock option.

I am currently building a crosscut sled for my jet proshop ts. I want to buy a dedicated crosscutting 10" blade to go with it. This will be for crosscutting both sheet materials and solid wood. I am...

Got some from there today. Tried a sample and it goes on great and is a great match for the hardwood marine ply I am using.

Is that real timber veneer banding or just the artificial stuff?

Can anyone tell me where I can buy veneer edge banding (preglued and iron on) in Brisbane?

I can set the fence perfectly square to the mitre slot with a dial gauge but the squareness varies according to how tight the fence is locked down. This means everytime I need to change the fence...

This seems to be a proshop issue. Mine does exactly the same thing. It shouldn't though and it didn't used to.

Has anyone solved this yet?

Does anyone know how tight the main belt should be? I did tighten it a bit but this didn't solve the problem. I was afraid to overtighten it but maybe I should tighten it a bit more?

Also, how...

Why support them when it seems like they aren't supporting you. There doesn't seem to be a good reason for the prices to be considerably higher where the AUD is at parity with the USD.

I did give it a bit of a clean out inside the cabinet and sucked out all of the dust around the drive system but this didn't make a difference.

Hi

My table saw makes a brief squeal on start up. I suspect it is one of the belts slipping but not sure which one. I tightened the main belt (long thin one) that runs from the motor but this did...

Thanks. That's exactly what I needed.

Thanks for the feedback. I am pretty sure I will be buying the 310. Can you tell me how wide is it when the fence is brought all the way forward and with the cutterguard removed? I need to be able...

Apart from the difference in capacity and table length can anyone tell me if there is any difference in operation, function or quality between these two machines?

I am finding it hard to justify...

If they were the same price I probably would have ummed and ahhed a bit and bought the TSC10HB but this wasn't the case. In any event, the Jet proshop is a good table saw and I have no complaints.

You are right in your assumptions about the trunnions except that each trunnion has three bolts not two. I did only adjust the rear trunnion using the clamp and this was all that was needed....

How much for one of these? and where do you get em?

Zed. Thanks for your advice. Can you clarify these alignment and other problems you refer to and what to watch out for in a prospective machine?

Australian prices are bull####. They are selling the same machine in the US for $2000 USD or $2,780 AUD (current rate) and here in Australia we pay $3390 AUD ($610 more!!!).
