I have one, and it works great. I have only used it on draw fronts, and they look good with the handle framed by the design.

First thing I did was get some 18mm MDF and made a copy. If tou put...

For what you have said $500 will not get ya even close. Power comes with a price, with your budget keep an off sider on hand for battery changes

The router is Permanently mounted on the router table, have outher routers for plunge work.

When I removed the springs hrim my Hitachi, I also cut 15mm off the bottom of each shaft. Can now raise my router higher and also change to bits above the table (just)

Cheers Scott

I used the light coloured opaque Laserlight, in two sections of my castle. but I only exposed 200mm op the panels. Lets in heaps of light and not too much heat.

The whirlybird will help with...

So what size would you make the ducting to be compatible with 150mm pipe.

With the cost of 6 inch pipe and fittings putting me off at the moment, I would be keen to try square ducting as I can...

:whs:

set the blade depth a few mm deeper than the cut, this will stop kick back.

The straight egdes of the saw cut will keep your jigsaw blade straight when cleaning up the corners.

Glad to here your on the mend.

Cheers Scott

PS, if you need some more wood there is still heaps there.

Thanks for the reply Al, how well does 150 PVC match to the flex.

Hi all, about to start running 150mm ducting for the shed to an outside DC, How do others out there connect the PVC pipe to their DC.

The metal intake on my DC is 150mm outside diameter (when...

Makita 3601B, a bit pricey but a great router.

$17.50 a hour is the current rate as a cabinet maker for me. (rates may vary accross the country) what rates and allowances. I am currently looking for a new job, even receptionists have a better...

Internet order took a week and a half to get to me, and I am 160km away.

Could be a good bargin for someone in Vic

Vicmarc VL 100 EVS Wood Lathe - eBay, Turning, Woodcrafts, Crafts. (end time 13-Jun-10 09:00:25 AEST)

Thanks for the replies, like the idea of a few rows of bricks. Could always make a new door, or lower the existing door with a head above it.

Cheers Scott

I get my hose from the dump, they have a shop with all the saved items from the tip face. Got 3 for 50 cents.

Found that there is many different sized hoses, some will fit into 40mm plumbing...

Thanks for the replies, was hoping they were a bit shorter.

Cheers Scott

Fred,
you have had the new lathe for a while now, So what is the verdict. Does it perform well, and is there any regrets.

Cheers Scott

Hi everyone,

are the pleated filters shorter than the standard bags that sit on top of a DC. The reason I ask is, I just scored a brand new 3x3 garden shed from the neighbour (been under his...

Try screwing a piece of scrap, from the arm on the back of the jig, forward to the work piece. It should hold it forward on the jig whilst you cut.

Scott

Thanks everyone, I knew it was a long shot. It is the square tube type, it is still a good lathe that I can't justify an upgrade.

Might have to go to the local enginering mob and see if they can...

I cut mine out with a chisle morticer, cut the thinner side facing up. Then cut the angle out with a hacksaw blade. Fast and easy with nice clead shoulders.

Hi all,
I am after two extra bango's for my TL1000 (old but I love it). so if there is anyone out there who has a spare bango hanging around and wants to palm it off, you can palm it my way.

Just wondering, if I cut my fingers off at work. Could I then sue Saw Stop for not making a device available on panel saws.

Nice work, should last you ages

The more we buy fror OS, the beter the postal system will get.

There is a lot of product out there, but most Aussie retailers seem to think we all have to have brand names in our sheds. There is...

Placed an order on sunday, recieved an e-mail today (tuesday) with..
Hi Scott – I just wanted to let you know that we have received your order, and apologies for the delay in processing. It will...

A shed should be 1/3 larger than the house. With a 6 x 9 to the side for general storage.

We have one at work. I is just a standard dust extractor, with a cone under it. It is not well built and the parts dont fit together well. Has needed a lot of mods to get it to work just as well as a...

Thanks Al, that was exactly what I was after.

Hi all,
Can any one remember a while back, a clipboard that had little indents on it that made it possible to draw plans on site. You could draw straight lines and angles free hand that were very...

What system have you decided on for the saw. As for your racking conserns, the 9mm ply attached to the back of the table should fix it.

Cheers

rsser,
Table is flat. The Insert is solid, but needs to be shimed to get it level with the table. The Fence is straight and square, the hand wheel to adjust the fence in or out adjusts well. I have...

That is a nice looking chair, have you thought about having a larger gap between the top and second back rest. So as you can grab the chair to pull it out, or push it in.

G'day TTIT,
I have the Carbatec RT-660 router table, a bit expensive. But a great table straight out of the box, the table and insert are solid. The fence is also very solid, easy to adjust, and has...

Seems to be a general trend. Supose the cost of going for the exhibitor out weighs the return.

We could also be the blame, we go to get bargians. And if we dont get them we don't return,...

Looks like it is coming together quiet well, are you going to put some tracks into the top/fence for jigs and feather boards?

Mike,

Both tools would be a good choice, an aditional blade for the circular saw would be a good choice as well. The more teeth on the blade will give a smoother cut on the chipboard.

Cheers...

Mike, the tools I would get would be.

1. Cutting laminate flooring panels to size
Maktec compound mitre saw.

2. Cutting a hole for a sink in a new oak kitchen bench (about 1 to 1.5" thick I...

Hey there Jill,

How have you got on with building your router table.

Cheers Scott

Check this one out, almost made his money back. But there is still time and win at all cost bidders.
...

Have you thought about the saw moving up and down, instead of on a hinge. The bench top covering the saw could be hinged in two pieces, with a built in fence underneath. The saw could raise and lower...

We have a Maktec trimmer at work, gets about 3 hours use a day for the last 2 years. Still going strong.

Cheers Scott

Use a heat gun, start at the corner and work your way out to the end. In the corner use some dowel to press the tape down, let it cool then on the straight use a flat scrap piece of wood. When...

SCM are a good saw, however the scribe blade adjusters (leavers behind the tilt wheel) can be a bit of a pain.

Cheers Scott

:iagree:

Derek,
Do those magnetic feather boards move, or do they stay put?
