I have both the MT360 - 12.7mm Plunge Router and MT370 - 6.35mm Laminate Trimmer and they are used regularly. I am very happy with both.

I have the LS 17 and wonderfence with imperial measurements. Haven't bothered with the metric ones. Good to hear you were able to return the table.

I have the same unit although not a carbatec one.
The fence is a pig. I replaced it with a Incra unit.
Although I still use mine my recomendation is is return it get a refund if you can.

I have a ls 24 and my mate has the early version slight differences( possibly improvements) but not significant enough to upgrade.

Yes I agree the feet look a little out of proportion and if i had of measured twice and cut once they would have looked as you have drawn.

You are only as good as you last @#$!%Y& up.

The cross rail and some of the frame were significantly lighter after dressing the timber so I darkened it down some to even out the colour.

Yes I made the dresser as well.

I used the hard...

My latest project for the Missus,
Tabletop is a slab of Bloodwood (relative of Jarah apparently). The rest is Jarrah which I have added stain to get even colour.
The finish is organoil with the top...

With the router raizer fitted
Is the router positively locked at the height or do you still require to use the lock lever.

If this is still the case than you still need to access under the table...

The centre leg is beveled on both sides ( must be the photo angle)

The top is solid boards laminated the mitred section is 5 mm thicker so the top drops over the top rails so no gap is visible.

Started woodworking as a lad in high school.

Did my trade as a Fitter Machinist with the navy (I still try to get everything to +/- .004 inch but wood just moves all the time)
Got a triton set...

Yes I agree the door handles are a bit low.

The finish is organoil using wet and dry paper up starting at 220 continuing to 2000 grit and then organoil wax.

The draws were taken from the one...

A while ago a few of us from this forum shared a load of tasmanian blackwood.
Thankyou "Tasman".
Well I have finally finished the project for SWMBO.
She likes it.

I have had the same problem and was unable to get it to fit.
If I remember correctly I used template 29 (DOVR) and its settings.
and it all worked as laid out in the book.
I think the number 30...

Ashore what were you doing on the bridge. The oxygen is way to thin up there.
Get back in the hole to the warmth of the machinery and the smell of sulphur fumes. And Bodgy what about being dragged...

two allen head screws left and right of the fence adjust each until the fence locks square.

For the size you are tapping you WILL more than likely break the tap. The process requires a clockwise anti clockwise back and forth motion to cut and clear the cut. A trick to keep it all square...

If your going to cut a lot of hardwood the more HP will help.
I just got the TSC-10HB and I am real happy with it. Looked at the JET but after cutting a bit of hard wood on a mates 12 inch 3HP...

I still use the triton its a great machine, sold the other to Snow. In hind site I would have kept the old one and not bothered with the triton. The triton still needs a bit of polish around the...

The questions were a bit tongue in cheek. I am fortunate enough to have a large shed so I am not space starved but on a limited budget am gradually upgrading my tools. Just upgraded from Triton WC...

I was discussing with Snow the other day my intention to buy the TSC-10-HB (your posts have had a part in my final decision) and we came up with a question for you. We have all seen your quality of...

Went to the new Melbourne Carbatec yesterday and bought a TSC-10-HB.
(Just wanted to skite to someone). Shop is easy to get to, plenty of parking,
staff frendly and helpful. There were lots of...

The machine I built with Snow uses a 100mm tube that has a seam inside with end plates and stubs welded each end. Even being a machinist and having access to the right gear our first drum was out of...

Mikm,
The sander I built with Snow has been used on a 900 mm wide hardwood board taking a approx 1/4 mm cut with 60 grit paper. Feed rate is infinitely variable (should read by hand). The power is...

You said you used a Triton router
If you want to rout a circle just use the plate for the fence it has a built in feature for cutting circles then just free hand the waste out.

Yes and they separate the dust from the workshop and the house and the street and the flora and fauna. A little too efficiently maybe

:D

The cyclone separator uses a very simple principle for separation GRAVITY
As you are already aware we use high volume blowers to move air from one part of the work shop to another and use this air...

I have the Jet 14 inch bandsaw and tried the 4 inch attachement on the side near the blade and it wasn,t all that successfull but I now have a 4 inch galvinised plumbing connection fitted to the...

Sounds like you are on a winner if you need any help just drop a line

The formula for rpm is machine speed X diameter of pully driving / diameter of pully being driven. So for your set up the speed will be 1400 rpm or less.
My set up has a 5" driver with a 3"...

Use whatever you have mate.

Snow and I just finished making a table sander and started with white paper backed 80 grit which clogged very quickly. Then got 60 grit from Bunnings (red paper...

Benny go one of the 300-400 dollar machines a mate has one looks the same as the carbatec one I bought several years ago and it works fine his was a RYOBI but it looks just like the GMC.

Ta mate

BENNY MAAAATE!!!!

I was wondering what I had done with that book.
You still at Willytown if you are I may be there next week.
If not email me at [email protected] and we'll sort something out

Get a cheap high speed steel cutter this will still cut Aluminium
they are more resistant to chatter than carbide tipped tools(very brittle) and if they dull easy to re sharpen.
BUT before you cut...

If it wasn't for stuff ups I would have no kindling to start the fire.
The missus, kid and I would freeze. The government would be down on taxes, Shops wouldn't be able to rely on SWMBO for income,...

The Square tube and dust cover over the drum prevent inadvertant finger sanding and as with all tools of this nature we use a push stick (1M X 250mm X 6mm MDF). Good idea about the 2nd roller with...

Hi Guys,
I'm the other half of the team that built the sander.
The drum was machined true and welded with as little heat as possible to prevent warping. Our first try was .5 kg out of balance which...

A router is very much like a milling machine in that the cutter rotates and the job is fixed. With any type of cutting in this manner the important things are speed of bit rotation and speed of feed...

About three years ago I built my kitchen. I searched the internet for a book on the standard dimensions and found a Canadian guy who wrote one. I bought the book and set about designing my...

I have had the height winder since it was released. As usual the plastic components are sometimes a bit light. I have made several mods to overcome failures.

1. The hex bar gets stuck and the...

I am in the process of upgrading from Triton stuff. I have the 14 inch JET bandsaw and 12 inch disc and 9 inch belt sander. Am very happy. They are produced in Taiwan but the QC and finish is very...

I bought a "Chinese" compound slide saw for about $300 Aust and use it regularly. A bit of buggerising around to get the alignment marks correct but it now works like a dream.
As with any electrical...

Sick of the piddly little dust system designed for the Triton saw well. I built a cyclone dust extraction unit(2hp) and replaced the bag from the triton saw with a routed circle and a 4 inch (100mm)...

Yes Barry its the red bit you mentioned and I did see the discusion about it. I recieved a reply from triton today that the part had been modified and would be available in 1-2 months. I have...

Update.
Visited with Triton today. After more trials they agreed the clip was unsatisfactory and the new clip was not much better. Said contact them in a month for the new new clip. They gave me a...

You are right of course or you get what you can afford.

In addition I have had a reply that Triton had extensively tested this clip with no failure (but a redesigned one was avaiable)and I...

Yesterday the chassis clip on the 2000 saw height adjuster spread apart and allowed my saw to eat a bit of table top and blade guard. Fortunately no body parts were close at the time. I have emailed...
