HAH! I w2as walking out to the shed and suddenly I thought Nooooooo! You "tighten the little nut to extract the rod. Bah! Oh well, at least the old grey head got there.

OK. Thanks for that. I figured, but I am having trouble with the little screw and I will probably have to lubricate it.

I have one of these, of generic origins. I want to drill some wood at an angle. The table is adjustable for angle, to 45 deg in either directions.

Under the table is a large bolt, I think with a...

Thanks for that. I will try Sundstrom. I really can't justify a forced one at the price they ask :(

I can't find a Health and Safety section and as this is about my welding I thought I would ask here.

I had a passive (not positive pressure) respirator, that has now died, which had the actual...

A follow up. I have not tested the epoxy, but I did try some PVA glue on the same pieces of wood/ply. I left it for 24 hours. I tried to break the joint with a hammer and the ply snapped in half. It...

hmm...I have a large disc sander, and I use velcro-backed paper. The glue that holds the backing to the disc failed just from being in a hot shed in Summer.

Now with _that_ I have had just too many failures. The number of times the velcro has been stronger than the adhesive amazes me, especially if the velco sits for a while of gets some pressure. IT can...

Yeah. The epoxy I have is quite a "soft" dry. (Compare Selleys with ...whatever there was a glue that was genuine thixotropic gel and not just thickened, but I am not sure of the name, that set very...

You guys gave time and advice, so here is the wash-up.

Cliff, I owe you an apology. I thought about my dismissal of your shoe glue idea, and felt I owed it to you to give a go....and it worked a...

I have never had much luck with contact and small areas.


HAH! I was just walking around this morning thinking about doing just that with the wood!

I was not surprised by the initial un-keyed failure. I could see that the plastic was going to be a tough cookie. But when the glue basically disintegrated, that was a surprise. Interesting about the...

Not actually a wood question, but you guys know glues.

I want to stick some Velcro and webbing strap to Corflute board. My first attempt resulted in a complete failure in that the glue simply...

I do have to add that if Perth keeps having the "winter" it just had, firewood will only take a lump or two a year....

HAH! The irony is I have burnt some smaller fallen branches (up to 100mm diam) when the tree was still up and they were just falls, and it's the best firewood I have ever used. Lasted for ages, gave...

Ohhhh that must have pinched a bit when you found out! I have felled a few trees on our property. I started cutting it for firewood with the idea of selling it, then suddenly woke up. So now I have...

Thank you! OK Yeah you are right. Jarrah has sadly become the elephant's tusk of the timber world...rare and endangered *where I used (years ago) to grizzle that the local timber yard was selling...

I have been offered a possible buy of a jarrah pole from a guy who is building a huge deck and has over-ordered a pole. He describes it as a short "lamp post", and indicated its size by circling his...

BTW, just to clarify, although it's 2ndhand, it has NEVER been used. I believe the guy I bought from, and the paper is untouched, as is the conveyor belting.

So I am assuming this may be some...

I have bought a 2ndhand one of these sanders. The trouble is the drums are set so they do not sand: they are maybe 10-15 above the rollers.

Anyone know how to set these properly? I found a manual...

hmmm...OK. So that is how you stickered and stacked. Is that stuff sawn through (backsawn....??). If so I guess that because it's veneer and you can control warpage.

Yep. I have seen that after a...

Gulp...well true or not (and it's most likely true of many incidents. I had a mate who fell asleep at the wheel and nearly killed two passengers)) it's still a very funny line.

Thanks for all the...

Yeah that makes a ,lot of sense. I have only done one log so far, to see what it was like, so I will take what you say. IN fact the larger the chunks the better I guess, for later choices.

I am...

hmmm...I will look. I have had a few PC crashes lately, so as I say....I understand the request.

Obviously can show the wood, but I have to search for the tree.....sounds like an aphorism in...

Sort of a sawmill: 21" BS with a 1TPI Bi-Metal blade.

I want to cut some lumber and veneer from a felled tree. Question(s):
- do I cut veneer green and store, or cut lumber then resaw veneer...

OK. I need to shut up until I understand this weird beast. GoNest 2d is actually very powerful, but again with a weird interface (unless it is an industry standard I do not get). You can import dxf...

EDIT: Sorry. It does do simple polygons, but not ellipses AFAICS

Yeah I have Maxcut, and mentioned it I think. But it definitely only does rectangles.

hmm....GoNest 2D seems stable enough, but Profile has crashed or failed on me with programmer's error messages several times. It also did some really weird sheet placements with simple rectangles,...

Thanks for the reply.

As I said way back (in an edit I think) they are not _completely_ unable to print or export. They can only print or export the first sheet. For small users this should not be...

hmmm...I just tried Profile...I can't make head nor tail out of the stupid thing. IT _looks_ simple enough, I just can't get it to actually do anything.

sheet cutting optimizer - cutting software for sheet metal, glass cutting machine optimization

hmmm..that wording would explain why it only allows non-rectangular shapes to be placed so that their containing rectangles do not overlap, which is its biggest weakness. so far

The wording is...

Ok. I am a bit surprised as while this could be used for CNC, it has just as much use for a saw-based workshop, from a jigsaw to a panel saw.

Not at all! If you are referring to the GoNest 2D programme, it will handle trapezoids, triangles, and circles/ellipses. See the attachment I posted to illustrate its weakness in really optimising if...

I have found the yields pretty good with this and MaxCut. As you say they save a lot of time. I happily accept what they give me, whereas if I did it myself I would never trust me to get the best1...

Because this is about sheet cutting layout software. Most of the questions I see about sheet cutting software are in wood/metalworking forums, not software forums. I thought there would be interest...

WELL G'LUCK TU Y'ALL

surry fer askin

I have just downloaded the GoNest 2D trial. I cannot find any statement of limitations on the trial. Given that the full version is over Aud$400, I assume there must be some limit on the "free"...

HAH!

Now I bet that somewhere on youtube....:o

Yeah I was not saying it was the only method, just that is acceptable as distinct from the cowboys' way.

When I am cold starting with the choke and the primer and all that stuff I do the foot bit....

Insteresting to hear from others who are having the same thing. That is important. It means that this is annoying, but not something I can go to warranty about.

My oil mix is about 35:1. I opt for...

Thanks for all the input and sorry for my any hissy fit.

I take on board all the stuff about compression and it makes sense. I am just disappointed that I have had so many saws and other small two...

Well actually when I think of kicking I usually mean the chain coming back in my face when the chain tip grabs....;so yeah maybe my title is not right.

I doubt there is anything mechanically...

Maybe but what aspect of it? My 371XP Husky has a decompression button, which is for cold start use only (and then I assume only because you may have to pull a few times to get it going from cold),...

Thanks for the reply. I will give that a go. But what am I looking for? Will this be trying something, or trying to remedy the problem? The trouble is it happens so randomly, and then maybe thrtid or...

When I try to start my new chainsaw ....
(Efco 38CC: I wanted to buy Husky, but my last small Husky was not very good and the dealer no longer sells them because he got sick of the smaller...

Thanks for the input, late or not.

I have not needed the TCT knives yet, but what you say really gels with my chain sawing experience. not as good from dead sharp, but last a LOT longer and keep...

To ravna. I was really looking for a drill foremost and a screwdriver next. I do not do enough roof or wall work to justify a separate driver at the moment.

To clarify in case anybody follows this...

OK Both dem sites is powful big. Any narrowin? I mean u dun looked an all
