Re Callide C4

From an outsider with no knowledge of the industry one thing struck me immediately as I watched the animation. It stated the ACS (which I assume is a last ditch type of failsafe...

Hi TMac

I used the Cabots Benchtop Clear - water based - on the tassie oak kitchen benchtop. 3 coats applied with one of those little Uni-Pro mini microfibre rollers & an edging pad for cutting...

Would I be right in thinking the only difference between Sutton Vipers and Suttons other drill brands such as Silver Bullet and Blue Bullet is the split point grind on the Vipers? They are all M2...

Just checked their website and they are not offering any new subscriptions. The parent company, Paragon Media, apparently discontinued a few other of their magazine titles mid 2023. Looks like it...

Hi Lyle

I also have the Gerni 9000. I rate it fairly well and good value for the 4 years I've had it. Lot of use as dust extractor hooked up to ROS and portable router, plus general dirt and...

Black Sika 291 marine sealant could be your (expensive) friend here. Sandable once it has fully cured. It will be time consuming using a caulking gun to squirt it into the gaps but has been proven...

My experience with Luciclear is the 2 factors influencing the cure time are temperature and the mixing ratios. Cooler temperatures do extend the curing time but don't discount the mixing ratio,...

Hi VJ

I think all those stainless 304 screws are much of a muchness. My own preference is square drive, but not for any real reason, thats just what I prefer. Check that the flutes in the...

Thanks Skew, thats good news, it's safe for me to order a set.

The scroll chuck came with an old TL1000 I picked up second hand some years back. I don't actually have the original Post or C...

Hi Skew

Its just called the 'Nova scroll chuck' according to the manual, it's just shy of 100mm diameter and was their original model introduced about 1988 (I think). It has a 'C' type spanner...

Hi all,

I have a Nova scroll chuck (the original type model) with only the standard jaws that came with it. Are the Nova jaws currently available for the more recent type Nova chucks also...

You're right jack620. It would have helped if I had read the original post correctly and not gone off on a tangent like a dill. I've amended my reply.

Hi 419

Can't help you with someone to fabricate a new riving knife... but the riving knife should be thinner than the kerf of the blade you are using otherwise the riving knife will bind in the...

That would be great thanks DJ. I will send you a PM tonight.

From your photos I think the only way to separate into individual 'planks' is via the ends of tongue and groove joint. Your second photo shows the small gap between the end of the tongue and the...

Thanks all.

A dovetailed repair would look pretty classy. Problem is my hands would be shaking so much in fear of stuffing the spool that in all likelihood I would make an irreparable mistake.
...

That would be pretty good for size. Thanks DJ.

Hi all

I'm trying to source some northern silky oak to repair damage to an old 'Perfect' brand fishing reel spool, circa 1920's to 1930's. The photos landed in the wrong order but the third one...

Thank you very much Ian. Good reading and full of the right info.

Hi wanna shed

My shed is 12m x 9m x 3m high but the actual workshop area is about 7m x 9m (rest is storage and laundry/toilet). I have 3 rows of 3 x double battens with fluoro daylight tubes in...

Get it replaced. As a person who tends to delay the inevitable when replacing worn parts on my ute (ie she'll be right for a little while longer) I am well qualified to give this advice.:U

A good...

How about some dodgy second hand carpet or large mats (scavenge either from local kerbside garbage pickup or local recycling facility) to lay over the original carpet to protect it. Fix it in place...

Not wishing to derail the OP's thread ... but is there a trick to getting the barrel out. I had this same issue a month or so ago when replacing a broken screen door lock. Had to resort to cutting...

Hi Jaded62

Have you watched the video on the Bosch website about how NOT to adjust the bevel settings for your saw? If the T knobs are tightened while pushing down on the saw (even lightly) the...

I'll take them thanks WP..... regards Twosheds

I thought it was obvious. It doesn't have a chimney so won't be able to draw the smoke away.

Thats a good update Dengue. Ten years of serviceable life for a frequently used surface is a pretty good result and a handy benchmark for those using Kunos oils. During the past 5-6 years I have...

I think Mountain Ash is right - it does look like douglas fir. If that is the case be prepared to find more rotted timber when you commence repairs and remove whatever cladding/lining there is. ...

Hi Crowie

Same thing happened to me. I inherited a dozen or so new unused belts from my father after he passed away. They had been sitting unused for more than 5 years after I acquired them, so...

I hope I don't sound like too much of a numby but what is the purpose of the tracking app?

Even though I don't own a mobile and have no intention of doing so, I know that a tracking app gives a...

Hi Sheddie

On my PC I use the zoom control which is accessed thru the 'settings' menu for the PC (not the woodwork forum settings). My zoom is permanently set at 170% for everything I bring up on...

No blade guard, no push stick, leaning over the unguarded blade, no safety glasses and most importantly no hector the protector.... what could possibly go wrong.

Hey China, you're not the only one. Your post was the first I had heard of it, so I googled carbitool vs sutton and it linked to a Sutton Tools announcement it had purchased Carb-I-Tool in 2018. ...

I think it is like pruning a fruit tree. When the unwanted branches are lopped off all of the nutrients are directed towards the remaining limbs resulting in more vigorous growth. Now I'm not...

I've been thinking that I need a bigger shed. What do you reckon?

I can see a 6.0m x 5.6m area that would make an even better workshop, plus it has roller door access to the driveway.

Too good to stay in the shed and get dusty. I'd have to move it into the house for use as a dining room sideboard.

Hi Brett57

Pretty much what snowgum has said, especially his pro/con list. I have the DD500X and have found it very good. I also have the drill sharpening jig for my Tormek grinder. In...

Hi Huon.... the Luciclear casting resin is a 2:1 ratio epoxy. I'm not sure whether it is thinner than other brands of epoxies used for filling voids in timber, however it will run into the smallest...

+1 for epoxy. I use Luciclear casting resin to fill all those small (and large) imperfections.

Thanks Crowie and Treecycle. Still can't find one, the Bosch website link shows no stock at the retailer. And no old stock at de Rossi either. Plan A is no go.

The Bosch website shows the part...

Hi all,

I currently have a Bosch GEX 125 AVE Professional ROS which is permanently connected to overhead dust extraction inside the shed. It is too cumbersome to move everything outside and a...

Hi Sam.

Just my experiences. Usually in a off the shelf combination kit you wind up with some tools either you don't need or are not good quality, so what BobL said is a great idea. I have a...

What BobL said. I forgot what it was like last time I tied to rip some 2 x 8 recycled ironbark with my trusty 20 year old Ryobi 7" saw. Almost let out some magic smoke.

How about 2 circular saws...

Hi H + F

Just an out of the box thought.... cut each side of the post with your 9" circular saw which leaves about 2" square in the centre. The posts could be clamped together to do say five or...

So you have about 45 well seasoned hardwood sleepers in total to do. I think you may need to find some equipment which is a bit more heavy duty (ie much bigger).

But if you are a glutton for...

Hi Cava, that is a very interesting question you've put forward. Although I don't have any specific knowledge about the food safety of glyphosate killed timber I can tell you that if you've eaten...

Hi again Mr B

The luciclear usually cures hard within 24 hours or maybe a bit longer if it's cold. But if you don't add quite enough of the hardener it can take 2-3 days or longer for it to...

Hi Mr Brush

If you are using the untinted clear epoxy to fill the defects I am assuming you wish for the defects (gum veins etc) to become a feature of your slab ie you will be able to see, for...

Hi Sawhack

My advice is to buy the best you can afford. I have a powermatic 8" jointer with a helical head and it is a great unit, much much better than the carbatec combo jointer/thicky it...
