I have just had a very bad experience with this seller also. Ordered a laptop battery. Nothing arrived and no tracking number.

After over a month of hearing nothing I contacted them and asked...

I still have them. Before I send one, just to check the ones I have are the right size, how about you give me the measurement from the very tip to the very tip across your handles? I'm working at...

My thought was that he may have subscribed to the thread using a still current email addy. I guess not.

If by some miracle you are still looking for this, I think I can help. I'll PM you as well. I think I have four of these I found in my old shed (came with the house). The writing on the handles is...

The finger jointer seems to me to suffer from a serious problem with quality control that I outline in this thread. It's strange in that I had the problem with the finger jointer I initially...

Or 90-105% in my experience. People get auction fever. I gave up on trying to get Triton stuff second hand after a while. Too many hotheads going nuts.

Can you check what capacity the D's used are? Without knowing that it is hard to say. What can be said is that the capacity of Ni-Mh AA's is going up steadily, such that quite often a modern AA...

No, use a DC power style plug. As a headphone jack goes in, it momentarily shorts across its two connectors. It is not a good idea to use one for power (rather than signal) level inputs.

I order my Triton spares through just tools (www.justtools.com.au). Admittedly, I haven't ordered a lot, but they haven't let me down yet, and they are quick.

Well I don't know if I'm unlucky, going mad or what. I took my finger jointer back to Bunnings yesterday evening to swap over. The only other jointer they had there also had bowed fences on the...

Thanks Fred. If I don't have a clear response from Triton by the weekend I'll take it back to Bunnies & swap over.

Hmmm. Well I'm going to take the total silence as meaning: we have never heard of this problem and don't know what the $#%#$% you are talking about. So I guess I now have to extract some...

I have just finished putting the finger jointer together. When I put my practice pieces in to start creating sawdust they were very obviously wobbly. They were held at the bottom but not at the top. ...

Many thanks

I am sure I saw reference a while back to a place (in Rocklea maybe?) where you could go and use their woodworking machinery. Buggered if I can find it now. It's hard to think of the right search...

Ah. I see. I didn't think the link to Stu's Shed was relevant, since I thought that the mod was on the Triton Woodworker's site.

I'm probably missing something really obvious but I can never find anything on the Triton Woodworker's site and this is no exception. There's links on the left to Meeting Details, there's Policies...

It's hard to get a large enough funnel, but I eventually sourced one at 300mm from http://www.winequip.com.au/

You can then trim that down to size. Their funnels have a groove partway down for...

There is at least one guy there who is very helpful.

After all that I just ended up buying a bucket from Bunnies for $45. It's funny how you don't see things when you're not specifically looking for them: I was fairly sure they didn't stock them...

A no.5 is not the same as a triton it seems, though: it's got a special cutout, and it's 32mm long, not 40mm long

Seconded

For my current project maybe 20 but long term I want to stock up. It seems they are available, so I'm not too worried. If Bunnies don't have any available this weekend, I'll buy them off ebay per...

I shall try a few Bunnies on the weekend and if that doesn't work the whole project will have to go on hold till Justtools or Northwood or whoever can get some in for me.

thanks for your input

No they are a particular size and shape.

How easy is it to clamp things to the fence, given that the back of it is at 45 degrees? Do you just hook one end of the clamp into the slot on the back?

I'm planning on making a 3 x 3 groove along the length of a long 32 x 10mm lath. I could use the router table but 3mm being the kerf of my saw blade it would be easiest to just use that (particularly...

Where is the best place to buy a bucket of triton biscuits? Preferably on line. I don't know if I've seen them recently at Bunnies (and given what is happening to their Triton stock levels...).
...

Triton WC's etc have good resale because firstly people see it in hardware stores and want it but find it too expensive at retail. Secondly, they know it has a reputation for good after sales...

Bunnings will get themselves a conviction under the Trade Practices Act if this is actually their policy. I suspect it's not actually their policy: some junior guy doesn't understand the difference...

When you special order a big ticket Triton item through Bunnies do they actually do a special order, or do they place your order when they next have enough other orders to combine to gain economy of...

I know it's important to concentrate, but I have doubts about its usefulness as advice. You have to have inherent safety, just telling people to concentrate sounds good but we're all human.

I saw our landscaper sharpen a large bit by holding his angle grinder between his thighs, then put the bit up to the grinder with both hands.

I can assure you a running angle grinder uncontrolled...

I'm currently planning a new shed for our new house.

Here are some questions:

1/ I am hoping to have a concrete block shed. I would imagine that concrete block walls would be very sound...

45 years. We might be ready by then if we go a bit faster than usual, but I doubt it.

Hmmm. Thought that might be the case. Thanks Ozwinner. I suspect you'll be retired before we get our act together and are ready for your services, though!

SWMBO and I are rather stupidly considering purchase of a "renovator's delight" queenslander. Logically, you'd move the house. It's not built in the best place on the block. Of course, this is...

Thanks for the tip, BobL

No I haven't solved either problem. I must admit I haven't had much time lately and haven't really tried too much.

I was very disappointed with Jet, though. I emailed their help people and...

Martrix, what are you screwing down to in the second step? Are you just screwing into holes drilled in the Triton table top or what?

How did you go on this? I always get a small amount of dust into the vac, particularly very fine dust. Did you find any effective tweaks?

But I do have one question: does anyone know what you should do to stop the powder in powder extinguishers getting packed down? 'Cos I've read this thread and I'm just not sure. Ta.

Well that's right, but you should bear in mind that powder extinguishers settle, so you should give them a shake or a roll around every month or so.

And also, one point to remember is that powder...

I think the problem is precisely that it doesn't just "detour through" your lungs. It takes a wrong turn down a no through road then decides to stay permanently!:wink:

It's worth having a look at Tecmen's website: www.tecmen.cn. It's quite informative. Two of their helmets seem to be on the Oz market:

- their el-cheapo fitted with their 100F filter, which is...

Further to what Graham said, remember this experiment: in the UK, some clever bastard experimented with the effect of price on sales of cat food. They chose cat food because, unless it's so foul...

I think I may be able to rig up something like what you have there, greenie.

Do you keep the garage door open when spraying? I guess so. How much overspray goes out the door? I ask because I...

Thanks for your answers, fellas. Outside may be an option, as may MajorPanic's blowing out the door suggestion. I am but a grasshopper at this. I need to do much reading on paint types, by the...

I've had a good look through past threads but can't find any discussion on this: where do you folk do your spray painting?

I've been thinking about getting a spray setup, but where do I spray?

Thanks for your responses, fellas.
