which coil nailers will fire a 90mm nail? Mine tops out at 65mm

problem is a framing gun wont do all the tasks you want.

decking is usually done with a coil nailer (or even better screw the boards down), as are weatherboards.

finishing you will want a...

the edges of all the tracksaw setups get trashed after a while but they are great tools to have.

I use the eurekazone system and have gone through a few sets of edges. It doesnt suffer any of the...

Hi All

The tub on my box trailer is almost solid surface rust now and needs cleaning and painting.

What is the best product to use? I would prefer something I can just brush on to make touching...

I'm 6'1" and my main bench is 1040mm. It gives my back way less trouble than lower benches.

For some jobs though its just too high so I have other lower benches I can use as required.

Hi All,

I need about 100m of 13mm T&G flooring for a renovation i'm half way through. Spotted gum is my favorite timber but probably outside my price range so i will need to look at other options....

is anyone able to identify this timber?

My knowledge of timber outside building materials is pretty much non existant..

yeah no chance with solder. it wont take to steel.

I took a couple of quick photos. hopefully someone can identify the timber and tell me if the chair is worth restoring.

Apologies for the poor picture quality.

My wife has aquired some carved timber chairs that she would like me to restore.

They are finished in a dark red stain of some sort and I would like to strip them back to timber and finish in...

my welding skills are also ######### but it doesnt need to be pretty for this ;)

i only use the welding trick when I have had to cut nails off flush with the surface of the wood during demolition....

sounds to me like my welding trick is the best way to do it as you don't have to remove any timber to get access to the nail. chisel / drill note required.

getting some heat in the nail also...

regarding getting the nails out, can you weld?

to remove embedded nails i weld on a scrap of metal then pull the scrap out with a pry bar. the next nail is then welded to the tip of the one just...

i am building up a similar colection of hardwood from a house renovation i am doing. i would eventually like to build some furniture fron the "bones" of the house.

so far i have denailed the...

Has anyone had experience with this particular saw? I think it is a new model as a search turns up nothing on this forum.

Trade tools have these on sale at the moment. It would be good to get some...

shed looks great. got any info on that shelving you bought?

what an awesome project! very inspiring. thanks for posting your reports.

I ended up dropping the armature off at my local power tool repairer and he replaced the bearings with aftermarket parts for $50. Very happy with that :)

correct you are NRB. I pulled the machine apart last night. The top bearing is dry and noisy, the bottom is almost seized!

In fairness this router is 8 years old, but similar to you I have a much...

Thanks very much. I did some searching and it looks like I am up for bearings or the speed controller is had it. The bearings would make more sense though with the chuck getting hot so hopefully I...

I have a TRA001 router mounted in a triton table. After it starts up the speed varies and it makes a strange noise that sounds to me like a bearing on the way out. I was told that these routers are...

I had a closer look at mine last night and it does indeed cut on the back stroke. Mine is an old Australian made saw.

Thanks for the advice guys. The tools have been sold to an old colleague who found them through the forum.

I'm sure mine is set up cutting forwards - I will have to check now!

power stroke is forward just like a hand hacksaw.

I have had the green bosch for a couple of years and absolutely love it. My builder has the same unit and gives it a flogging. No problems so far.

If this one ever dies I will be upgrading to the...

I can't see me ever owning a lathe so i'm hoping I can move these on to someone who can use them.

To those in the know: are they useful? Are they worth anything?

Thanks

who is selling the dewalt with stand for $850?

Judging from the pictures in the catalog, this is the same vac as my Vacmaster 30L

If that is the case, i found that a short piece of 1 3/8" (35mm) radiator hose makes a perfect adaptor from 35 to...

expect the carbatec price to be near twice the US price. That's what I generally find with Carbatec pricing.

agreed - its just a glorified edge guide. nowhere near as versatile as a tracksaw.

another option is the eurekazone gear. Eurekazone | Eurekazone

Depends what sort of accuracy you are after. Using construction grade saws is the big downside of the EZ system.

I ended up buying a bosch GKS190 Turbo. These are on sale at Mitre10 for $140 with 2 blades which is a steal.

Front and rear bevel lock, lever style depth adjustment on left side of the handle,...

I ended up buying the Dewalt DCK280C2 kit from bunnings. VERY happy with it so far. They feel great in your hand and are nice and light with the smaller batteries.

I built a timber retaining wall...

I went and did the rounds this morning and came to the same conclusions. its down to Makita or Dewalt.

I am pretty sold on the dewalt gear however I am worried that the 1.5Ah batteries will drive...

I m looking for a 7 1/4" circular saw to use with my eurekazone track system for making cabinets etc. I currently use my trusty old Makita 5900B but it has too much arbour float to be considered...

Leyton,

Did you end up buying the Dewalt? I am thinking of getting a drill / driver kit for myself for christmas so I would love to hear what you end up with :)

so after much hunting around i could not find a 1 3/4" BSP pipe fitting or tap in Brisbane. So I took .RC. up on his offer and he sent me this:
...

The catalog I ordered the new filler cap out of definately listed it as 1 3/4" BSP

thanks for the offer mate. much appreciated. I will PM you.

maybe in your world. but there is a 1 3/4" BSP filler neck in my fuel tank...

BSP (British Standard Pipe) Thread Data BSP and BSPT taps

First table. 1-3/4" BSP - 11TPI - Major Diameter 2.116"

I have an aluminium fuel tank in my boat and the filler neck is deformed. The thread is 1 3/4" BSP.

I was going to use a steel pipe fitting to reform the thread, but they don't exist in 1 3/4"

I just logged in to post the same thing... too slow!

ALDI - special buys from thurs 09 jun - hurry, limited stocks in store*

Can I get an answer to this question please? Just tried to send a private message... still no go.

not surprised the triton gear is on sale. it is way overpriced in my opinion

I feel sorry for the admins having to sort this mess out. Not a fun task.

Is it possible to manually set existing users to intermediate status? Can I please be changed if possible? Thanks

I tried to PM a moderator about this but i cant as my quota has been reached!

I just noticed in the latest repco catalog they have this vacuum on sale at $99 (50% off).

Has anyone used one of these? I missed out on the aldi vacs earlier this year and I am getting sick of...
