Thanks,

Well, went and paid a visit to Jim Carroll ( I am just 10 minutes away), and am now the proud owner of a TruPro.

Love it. Big step up from the Dremel I had.

Only thing I realised after I got...

Thanks Guys,
Tax return coming, time for a Trupro. I bet it will be amazing after my Dremel scroll saw.

Hi Guys,
Those of you who already have a Trupro Scroll Saw, can you post some pictures of the clamps, and if you have purchased the Hegner clamps, pictures of how they fit/work and why they are...

Thanks Keju

The problem I have with my Dremel,
Only uses pinned blades.
The table is just pressed steel, as I think my dremel is a real hobby version. It's so light you can pick it up with one...

Can somebody tell me what the Hegner clamps are?
How/where do I use them?
Pictures of them?

And REDGUM, how's the TruPro saw? I'm about to buy a scroll saw, have been using a dremel scrol saw,...

Any like to comment on what they think of the Delta DE-40-540 scroll saw?
I am looking at one.
Does it cut well?
Does it cut straight?
Is it low vibration?
I have been using a dremel scroll...

Can you guys recommend where to get a look at the Delta, in Melbourne?

Thanks

Went to a "United Tools" shop today.

There I was shown a "Puma" brand compressor.

Made in Dandenong, Victoria. Had the same Italian 2 cylinder pump, which is aluminium, with a cast iron...

Hey Soundman,
I checked out Trade Tools direct.
It seems they build the Renegade series themselves.

CHeck out this one,...

Also,
I will wait until the Melbourne Woodworking show next week.
You never know, I get a bargain there (or might not).


Regarding the Hare & Forbes, or tradetools direct, or Glenfords, I...

I have done a lot of reading, and searching, on these forums, regarding FAD etc.

Soundman, I will see what the next size up will cost. The good thing about this model McMillan, is it can deliver...

I have decided to go for a beltdrive unit

so I saw this one at JUST TOOLS (Melb)

http://www.justtools.com.au/prod2738.htm

which states a FAD of 155 lt/m. Is that good?

NOW, I saw the same 2.5 hp compressor, but different "Brand"...

Thankyou,

That's good advice.
I don't think ANY of the SuperCheap auto compressors, had that FAD sticker.

I think I'll look around some more, as what I buy now, I want forever.

Loud?

as in, how loud?
Unbearable, an you talk (or do you have to SHOUT) over it?
Thanks,

Thanks for comments.

What I meantabout my old compressor is, it has a bleed switch when it gets to approx 100 psi. So the motor just runs all the time. In fact, if you try to start it up when it...

I am looking to buy an aircompressor. I have a low pressure gun, and a very old compressor my father had that is basically just for pumping up tires. i.e it has a VERY small tank, and has no cut off...

Thanks Matrix,

what sort of holder is that?
What sort of wheel on my Bench grinder?

I want to sharpen my Record No. 4 plane blade, and my 3 standard chisels.

Thanks for the links,

What's the best low end honing jig I can buy, to suit plane blades and chisels?
Thanks.

I have (I think), a Stanley No 4 plane. The blade is not straight, needs a good sharpen.

I keep hearing(reading) about "tuning your plane".

Can somebody give some advice where to start?

I...

Where do you get lanoguard from?

Is this the one with 3 wheels, takes a 1/4 inch blade that is approx 1200mm long?


I inherited one from my father, and so far, I've managed to break 2 blades with not much cutting.

I have...

Considering that the original designers/manufacturers of this machine were around BEFORE a "pacemaker" even existed, I guess the above is not tooooo relevant.

I had named the thread wrong, and now can't rename it to the right name.

My TSC-10Hb arrives today:D .
But what do I clean it with, to get rid of the coating they put on it during manufacture?

Is WD40 ok for lubrication and rust prevention?

Thanks.

I've got one for sale, the price is basically the cost of a motor and a blade.

It's under combination sawbench.

Just a LITTle question,

The H&F BP 16A is for sale at $699 on special, is this the same bandsaw as the Carbatec BAS-350 (but different colour paint).



Being in Victoria, I can get the...

Thanks Phil

The column heater idea sounds good, PLUS some insulation, at least in the ceiling. Just got to figure out, how I can attach some insulation under the roof girders.

So the BP-300, comments on this saw?

It looks a good price, but looks like you can't get a riser for it?

Motor size looks ok, 750w = 1 HP

Where did/do you get the Blackwood from?

Any contact details?

Thanks

Thanks Joe,

was wondering if I should go for the 80T instead of the 60T. I will change my order, and get the 24T for ripping, and the 80T for the other.

Best part is, I get 10 percent off the...

For eg, a 60 T...
