Curved blades on impellers were introduced to reduce noise as far as I'm aware.

Have a look at this for sale thread to see what a dust extraction impeller usually looks like - Bill Pentz steel cyclone with 4Hp 20" extractor, VFD, drum, gates, ducts & joiners.. The fact that...

Yep, that's the bit I meant. That is a very restricted impeller outlet and something more like I would expect to see in a water pump. Can't see that moving nearly enough air to take advantage of the...

That's an unusual design for the impeller of a dust extractor. How wide is the apature at the outlet side of the impeller? It looks like it would be a significant impediment to the amount of air that...

Forgot to mention that I have the DeWalt 735 with a helical cutter head. I won't be looking to upgrade any time soon. :no:

I'd be sticking with one of the segmented or helical head types. My experience of straight knives is that they require more maintenance than I care to deliver. The segmented (Accu-head) cutting head...

Points noted and appreciated Chief. The Makita non-plunging base has very good dust extraction, but of course we don't know what the OP has in the way of appropriate equipment to collect that dust....

The Cheif and I seem to have very different ideas on what is necessary to do this job. I have a Makita RTO700C and consider that it is more than capable of driving an 8mm spiral bit through 18mm MDF,...

It is not generally necessary to use a centreing pin when fitting a bush. As asked by Chief Tiff what router are you using and what bushing system are you intending to use? I use Makita routers...

An upcut bit will be fine for MDF. From the options you've presented a 13mm guide bush and an 8mm bit will likely be the most economical choice. I'm assuming you'll be using a 1/2" router so you'll...

The spec's on the Sherwood unit don't include the size of the impeller, if the impeller is only 12" 4hp won't make any difference over a 3hp motor. I note that they have a 3hp 'industrial' unit, that...

Yes, an impressive collection. The seller is a member here - Collectable Woodplanes/Tools- Donation ?

Saw this on Facebook Market Place. An older model, but looks like a bit of value. No affiliation with the seller.

Despite what Timbecon say in the specs. there is no way that standard 14" saw could tension a 25mm blade. It may not even be able to tension a 3/4" TCT blade. So if you're thinking of doing any resaw...

Best not to mention Linley within the hearing of Andrew Crawford, he's liable to go in to an apoplectic rage. :oo:

My current aluminium cutting blade is a CMT, 235mm, triple chip grind, 6 degree neg. rake, 48 teeth. I agree with Jack that the blade you've linked to appears to be negative rake. I can't understand...

So, $210 per box. Ouch!

What blade are you using?

Are you cutting too slowly and letting the heat build up? The optimum feed rate is maybe faster than you think. I've cut a lot of solid and extruded aluminium on the table saw and can't recall having...

Britton Timbers description of the origin of this timber is pretty accurate as far as I'm aware. A lot of it came from the forests burned in the Victorian alpine regions in the past 15 years. It not...

Noticed there are items from Gregory's at a Pickles auction starting 28th March.
Gregory Machinery - Unused Showroom Woodworking Machinery, Tooling & Hand Tools - Insolvency Auction 1, Brisbane QLD,...

Yep, an accident that's found a place to happen!

In Australia a large proportion of gun violence is deads***s shooting other deads***s. More guns lead to more deaths and injuries and too many times it's the innocent party who ends up damaged....

Like homey I use double sided tape, but only on vertical linings. Base linings on boxes and trays are on a press fit cardboard base with the lining and padding spray glued to the cardboard. The...

A bit? More like A LOT. On the two occasions I've been an unwilling participant in an armed robbery, once with a sawn off shot gun and the other a pistol, there would have been a very high...

OMG! :oo: The table is as asthetically pleasing as the contents. :C

For overall practicality isn't a van a much better option than a ute? I just don't get the current obsession with twin cab utes as the best vehicle for any occasion.

Ceramic tile adhesive.

Something like these - Folding Box Stays Right & Left Hand 78mm - Hardware For Creative Finishes - fitted to open to the appropriate angle should do the job. You'll probably need some extra thickness...

You should never be making any adjustments to tracking while the blade is under tension. Hard lesson. :C But it would be nice to see a better response from the supplier.

I paid $1,500 for mine from another member. It included an Incra fence system, Incra mitre express and a few other accessories that would have been $300? new. Like your offering it was in very good...

That's the same as my saw. The Carbatec model no. is TS-C250H-A, the manufacturers model no. is MJ2325D. It's virtually identical to this current offering from Hare and Forbes - Just a moment...
...

Am I right in thinking that that is the result of a single pass of the saw? If so there is definitely a tooth or teeth that are significantly out of whack. You should be able to see it, or if not see...

Saw this on FB Marketplace. Looks like it's possibly only been used once? It's less than a third of the new price. :2tsup:

Unfortunately (for your pocket) it almost certainly has to be the blade, doesn't it? Having said that, I'm surprised the cheap thin kerf blade doesn't manage a better crosscut than that. Is the blade...

You make it sound as if it's your store that has been scammed, but that's not the case is it? Surely a matter like that should be put in the hands of the police (for what that's worth). Regardless, I...

I'll bet they didn't use Oregon (Douglas Fir), Tony, especially sitting in a plastic tub. You need a timber with a high rot resistant rating to have any chance of surviving those conditions. Save...

OMG! :oo: I'll be interested to see if there's any way this can be saved from an untimely demise. :C

The same thing happened when I made a box for our doctor to store his pens in. He was pretty protective of it though and as far as I'm aware he's still in possession.

The ones that you can buy are so cheap and work so well I don't know why anybody would make one.
This model is excellent - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/404758164818
or, the latest model -...

There's pluses and minuses for both. I'm assuming the Laguna is a hybrid (mechanical bits hanging off the table the same as the ST254) so no difference there? 3hp is very handy for heavy ripping, but...

What Jack said or fit a piano hinge, lots of small screws to do the job of a few bigger ones.

15 and 20 litre ring lock paint tins work really well. You don't need anything bigger.

Oh my God! Have you looked in the mirror recently, Tony? :D Don't worry, there's a lot of us around. :wink:

The collet cones that Adam's Bits sells can be bought on Aliexpress for a fraction of the price and as you've found they're rubbish. There was an Australian manufacturer of collets for these...

You're nothing but an incorrigable tease, Chris.:D

Yep, if you don't want to spend too much, but still want something of quality, Veneer Inlay, based in Dungog is a good place to have a look. He knows what he is selling so that alone makes him steps...

The first one is selling pressed steel junk. The hinges that Alkahestic has used on his boxes leaves these in the shade. You only have to look at his grossly misleading headline picture in another of...

Yeah, it's a bit like golf, isn't it! Is that gal tube you've used? You set yourself a challenge there.

Thanks Anthony. I can't say that Spotted Gum is that difficult to work with, well if most of the work is done with power tools it isn't. :D The stock was prepped to thickness using a DeWalt 735...
