Thanks, Al,
but just to qualify it a little, you can do it on your own equipment for yourself, not commercially, and that seems to be where the confusion is

Thats great stuff, i just spent 10 minutes scrolling through the 16 page document that link takes you to. Its the 16 page index of the document that the last page tells you how to buy. it doesnt shed...

Hi Kiwik. i think we need a bit more info on what you are trying to do before anyone can give you a meaningful answer. dimensions of the material would be a good start. does the dadoo (thats for...

Yep, its must be the real gumby to say that, welcome back and congrats n poast number 4444 :D :D :D :D :D

For items that are hardwired in, that is correct. if it plugs in to a power point you can do it yourself.

Have a look at George's DVD, theres heaps of them on it. once you have built them, look at the Holmsglen triton club's homepage and you will find other links and info, followthe links from any of...

I hope it goes without saying that you have the plug fully disconnected when doing any of the wiring. unplug it! dont just turn it off! put the plug in your pocket if you can.

switches usually...

Correct, i believe. if it plugs into a powerpoint you can wire it up yourself.
thats how ive done my flouros in the shed. i used old 30 metre 15 amp leads with 10 amp plugs and just cut them to...

yep there sure is :D :D :D :D :D :D

those are the operations I still do on the router table and will continue to do so. FWIW i still think it was worth teh dollars for what it can do that cannot be done on the router table or can be...

Faaan-bloody-maroon-tastic

yeah but a dremel has a 3mm diameter chuck and very small bits. i cant see much advantage to mounting them in a router in a table. I think Carry Pine was talking about bigger sanding drums, correct...

No need to apologise, Stu, the scrubbing brush on a stick isnt my favourite part of the system either. in fact anything that requires the scrubbing brush to do on the 'rat, i do on the router table....

WAAAAAAAYYY too fast, even for a variable speed router, and i wouldnt like to be in the shed when it flies off :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

thats nice Keith, but what about when it breaks down. cost me nearly $10,000 for an exchange diesel 4 cylinder 2.8 ltr engine about 8 years ago, shudder to think how much it would be now.

Actually, it translates into english as "Three Diamonds" (hence the logo) but having owned one i like your translation better. it seems to more accurately describe the product

Well, just a little. its still half the price of the triton saw. but theres also the extra difficulty of the setup of a non-triton saw initailly and the removal and replacement anytime you need to. i...

Now theres a theory, hadnt thought of that till now, thanks Stu, a readymade 12 inch jointer motor and cutting head/blades plus a lot of spare parts for my thicknesser for $199 - if bunnings have any...

Ok thanks , Richard, that explains how you can cut them so thin with that pushstick, and also probably why it broke :eek: :eek: :eek:

skew, its the captive pushstick that runs in the track on teh 45 degree side of the ripping fence, with the finger hanging down the right angle side

its getting worse as it goes along isnt it, you should all be PUNished :D

or two or three or four or five :D :D

oh dear

nice looking unit harry, wouldnt fit in my kitchen though

well it depends on what you want to get out of it, its like asking which is the best router: for what?

Im sure the plastic finger on my triton captive pushstick is thicker than 2mm, i was cutting 3mm splines the other day and it was thicker than them. How are you cutting down to 2mm with it , Daddles?

remember even when your 30 days are up you will still have a 2 year replacement warranty. if its a discontinued line they may have to replace it with the new model? when it comes out next year?

Scenario:
You are driving in a car at a constant speed.

On your left side is a valley and on your right side is a fire engine traveling at the same speed as you.

In front of you is a pink...

Peter, I think Barry and SilentC are on the money there. when youchange your grip yoiu are changing the pressure on the stock against the fence. Use the pressure fingers and allow them to hold the...

I know what you mean, silentC. If anyone did something similar to a member of my family or close friends he had better hope that the cops get him before i do :mad: Cos if i got him first there would...

Thanks, Mark, this is still a work-in-progress and i appreciate your input and advice. I have about 10m of 100mm plastic pipe and a collection of 45 degree elbows to run around the shed when ive made...

WHile diesels are supposedly cheaper to run, they are far more expensive when they dont run- repair costs have to be seen to be believed. i owned a diesel vehicle once. it was a lemon. i estimate...

looks good to mehttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon14.gif

with the "WELL TUNED" in capitals. Im convinced that the hours and hours i spent setting up my triton gear have been instrumental in my subsequent enjoyment of the toys/tools.

I made a whole houseful of furniture BEFORE i upgraded to the triton wc2000.

and ive no aspirations to upgrade to a tablesaw in the foreseeable future either as i like to keep my workshop mobile....

bunnings bundaberg has never stocked it and have refused to get it in

Steve, you could have done that on the woodrat if you hadnt sold it, and continued to support the lifestyles loose women and not have to go on a diet

why not? :D :D :D

Hi Colin,welcome to the nuthouse, you will find all types in here, but for some reason, we like it like that.;)

Yeah, its exciting isnt it? :D

Thats in the plan, FiremanSam.

it will happen as i add to the system. at teh moment the flexible hose is earthed but not the rigid pipe, but its still a work-in-progress and i am aware of the...
