Again thank you for all the feedback. I think that a decision has been made. The Vicmarc VL200L is the lathe for me, now all I need to be is get the funds together.

Thanks for that I just went back and checked and you are absolutely correct they use a #1 morse taper and the thread is 3/4 X 16 tpi. As live in Coffs Harbour it is going to be a pain buying anything...

Hi, I must agree with Damian, if you go ahead watch the DVD and follow the included instructions to the letter. I use a full metric Incra system around my tablesaw and a metric router system, I also...

G'day, My appologies for not replying earlier. On the subject of price, perhaps you would be better off if you just did some research on web. I'm sure you will be able to obtain a better deal that...

I have just moved from having an all in one system with my router table on the left of my table saw. I found that to move from routing to sawing was a real pain as the carriage has to be moved each...

PS Johns a very happy...

$2150 is recommended retail they all came to 2K when asked what their price was. But your right they are still good value for the quality.

Hi All

I have searched the post and can't seem to get a clear answer to my problem.
I have been saving my pennies and researching, and am now in the position of being able to afford a new...

Good afternoon gentlemen

No the long rails were a shipping nightmare and were hard to get so I just had to get the short rails sorry about that. When they arrived last Monday I just could not resist chucking a sicky...

I have just installed an Incra TSLS 32 on my contractors saw. The saw was purchased with a sliding table on the left hand side and a router extension wing on the right. After extensive use I found...

I hadn't taken the rotation of the motor into consideration as it is a function that I very rarely use and am willing to sacrifice as I have other means of bevelling. The other measurements I will...

Gentlemen
I would like to ask if anyone has any experiences with changing the position of the motor on a contractors table saw. I would like to change the location of the motor from hanging out the...

I have a 15" C Tec thicknesser, have had it for about 5 mnths and have found it to be great. I have run a fair bit of timber both hard and soft and nothing seems to slow it down. I...

Thanks for all the info and good advise I am a bit of an ebayholic so I have noticed the 8" in Brissy and will most probably have bid although if the bidding gets too high I think I would sooner buy...
