Please do. I too love my Fein Multimaster, but balk at the pricey replacement blades.

Quality blades at a discount price would be great.

Very nice. Congratulations. Now don't you go using them on MDF! :yeah:

Very nice. Good job!:brava

Working in insurance, I can tell you that over a 7 year period, most insurers pay 100% of collected premium back in accepted claims. They make their money on investments earned while the money is in...

Generally if you have tear out, your router is set too fast, and it's too slow if you notice burn marks. I think 15,000rpm should be your target speed.

Anyone agree / disagree?

The Oneida is now online and available. I can't seem to find the triton dust bucket at Carbatec yet, it must still be coming "soon". Not sure of the shipping costs, but $189.00 is cheaper than...

I am not sure whether the price is steep or not. I haven't got one, but then if I had troubles with my DC clogging up or filling up too soon, I might consider it.

The Triton dust collectors...

Looks like you heard right. Priced at $189, and available for pre-order according to the Carbatec Focus catalog
CARBA-TEC

Carbatec Focus catalog arrived in today's mail and says that they are now taling pre-orders for the router and circular saw.

Looks like the E-bay market for overpriced triton routers is about to...

All the best with the wiring Bismar. I hope it isn't February before you actually get to use the new saw.

Thanks Allisa. I think you'll be pretty happy with the Saw.

A further update now that I've had a chance to use the saw on a project (built myself a built in computer desk).

It is super...

Good to explain, our American friends would think we're a strange mob if it were the other type of thong as an expected dress code!

:)(

They've sent you the 305mm instead of the 300mm, which is odd as the 305mm is more expensive (and wrong). https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/Products?stockCode=W400B

Strange indeed. By blade was shipped with the unit. It had the correct 30mm hole. While I wouldn't say it's a top notch blade, at least it fits and it works.

You're not having much luck there...

Hi Bismar

I am glad you got the saw in time for holiday's. A wait until February would have been no good.

I agree with your sentiments on the shipping info you get from H&F. I was quoted...

Without inspecting it in person, Carba-Tec 12" Cabinet Saw : CARBA-TEC looks very similar indeed.

Allot of H&F stuff seems to have a Carbatec equivilent and for that matter a Grizzly eqivilent....

The plywood box is attached to the half pallet (which is around 750mm X 830mm). The half pallet just sits on the full pallet. a full pallet comfortably fits into a standard 6 X 4 trailer. Sliding the...

Here are 8 photos of the saw being unloaded and put together:
1/ The delivered package
2/ Out of the crate, now t ounwrap
3/ I am so glad it's shipped with the wheels on!

Small update:

Something else for the Cons list. Taking the riving knife off is a pain in the butt. Putting it back on is slightly worse. It uses 2 hex screws and is a bit fiddly. Probably no...

That's quite a collection of giants you've got there. I am looking forward to the next installment.

including GST

Oh No! Bummer on the availability. :doh:

I went during the sale and they were sellingthem then for $1549, with no further discout available. I reckon that if you twisted their arm, they should...

Hi John

Thanks :U

Bismar is correct, the machine is Taiwanese. The english is not the problem in the manual, it's to brief, and lacks the required detail and formatting to make it useful....

Visa or Mastercard will act if you complain within there required timeframes. They are usually excellent to deal with.

Camera found, now I have to get my teenage daughter to return my USB cable. Stay tuned.

Bismar, I think you will be delighted if/when you get this saw. I had another session with it and it is...

Angle iron eh? Clever. I think I will source a couple of pieces and do as you suggest. Thanks for the tip. :2tsup:

The DC-7 has been good so far. I will write a review once I have had a chance to...

Congrats on your purchase.

I think buy a set of inexpensive bits and see which ones you like and use the most. Buy more expensive versions of those bits when the time comes to replace the worn...

I took delivery of this 270kg piece of machinery on Friday. Delivery to my door by a transport company for $88.00 (H&F said it...

I can't give you any specs, but I have the DC7 from H&F and it has plent of suction. Contected to my router table, I see no saw dust. It all goes up the 4 inch duct and that is that.
What's best...

I went to the sale on Saturday and ordered it. It is being delivered to a couriers yard in the next week or 2, and the way I have been going for time lately, it should be up and running 2 weeks after...

Glad to read you are doing well. Significant bruise that. Also glad you are doing your rehab properly.

I think I will definitely head to there Saturday morning. If anyone goes tomorrow or Friday, I'd love to get an idea of the type of discounts i.e 10% or better.

Good to know. I am keen to know what the price reductions will like as I am planning on buying a dust extractor and either a Table Saw or jointer. Their show prices were quite good, so I am...

It really depends on how many mega bits you have for your router. Don't touch the router bit while it's still moving, because that mega hertz. :D

Seriously though, HP don't make woodwork routers,...

Thanks Gerhard, a couple of very nice and informative posts. Much appreciated. :2tsup:

A fair question and one that has been on my mind too. I expect that the bits wouldn't be as prone to rust as a cast iron tablesaw top, but still a little bit of surface rust could be a problem.
...

All the best Ray. Hip replacements are quite routine these days, but no doubt a very big thing in your life right now.

Remember to do everything your Physio tells you to do (including the...

agree, take it off. That extra 2mm or so can be pretty handy. I think the router also fits more snugly when the plastic base is taken off.

:laughing1: That was laugh out loud funny.

Agree with you Waldo, surely this would be for people with severe blade phobias or perhaps medical conditions that may cause them to fall asleep while...

Crunch time and so I was off to have a proper look at the Scheppach combo.

I can confirm it is made in China under the watchful eye of their QCs. I understand that all Scheppach stuff sold in...

Agreed, too pricey for the specs. Especially when compared to https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/Products?stockCode=W3325

Thanks :U

Enjoy your reading Huon, you'll be a bandsaw guru before you know it.

The resaw fence/jig looked good to me, but I am no resaw expert. I might look at making one one day when the...

To my knowledge The Bandsaw Book by Lonnie Bird is generally accepted as the best book on Bandsaws. Correctly or not, I can not say, but I have this book and can confirm it is an absolute ripper.

Thanks and welcome!

I will remember this post when my GMC compressor goes belly up. I've had it for 4 years and it's still going ok, but you never know.

Good to know. If you go out there I would be interested to know what their range of vacuum hoses is like i.e. various sizes etc. Just a brief description of your impressions, not a stock list : )
...

I was thinking of doing something like this myself. Good to see what someone else's done. Thanks for posting the link!

:2tsup:

I haven't got one, but I am going to check them out when I go to the woodshow next month (or on the way home if they don't have one there).

There's not too many posts on this machine, so I dare...

:clap: Good job, well done.

I see the base plate on your router is truly tiny! Good work around. TY for going to the trouble of uploading photos. Good for our curiosity and for any who face...

Good stuff. I hope it works beautifully for you. It is an inexpensive solution, and a small piece of MDF shouldn't sag enough to be a problem any time soon, and it is easily replaced if it sags over...

You could consider some type of plastic such as ABS, or this from carbatech
