Thanks
i'll try that.

Having posted I am unable to return and upload photos. Is that normal?
There doesn't seem to be a method mentioned anywhere

Thanks everyone for viewing. The unit is sold and has left the building......

It is Tony. I have fixed the safety fence and its ready to go....

I have some photos of the actual unit which I will post asap. I see that the equivalent unit (appears the same, different brand...

Thanks for that.
I am working on it.

Very little work. Not needed as moving on to different hobby. Safety guard damaged (while off machine). photo is from catalog .
$3000 Pick up from Balwyn North.

Thanks Doug,
i have had similar thoughts.Currently investigating some yards. Not sure that I will recognise a good buy when
i see it though? Experience will tell I guess.

Having bought a good load of machinery over a short period I cannot find anywhere to buy the timber to use it!
All the videos , you tube and magazines talk about 'milling timber' but it seems a...

Thanks to all. I realise now that I need to:
1) ignore the gauge
2) setup without blade first
3) after measuring accurately at a half way stage (not by the gauge!!) I have concluded that it is...

I have thought about the blade length and have done all the calculations as suggested by Carbatec. (Supposedly 2680mm for a six inch riser) Guessing at a shorter length could possibly give me actual...

A good question.....but the instruction manual doesn't say !! It has the tap style screw fixings on the cover if that helps.
I am intrigued by the washer idea. Mine has a square washer at the...

Nothing has changed other than trying to use 5/8 blade and it is too slack. When I first got the saw (secondhand) I just assumed the lack of easy adjustment was normal. Now i realise that if the...

i have spent far too much time on this (including searches ) but have not been able to work it out.

Problem: not enough tension available. the gauge reads 1/2 inch when spring is fully compressed....

Apart from changing to Chrome as a solution I found that there were many background programs running which had this effect.

The major issue looks like your hard drive is overstocked. I have heard...

Has anyone got access to a better manual for the Carbatec 10" table saw (cabinet style). I need to adjust the v belt but don't want to fiddle if there is a proper way to do this.?
The standard...

Finally moved it......just needed about 300lbs on the lever:B

Yup... that is my point really. The table won't move at all. The lever simply doesn't move. I guess there must be a locknut or something. Any ideas ??

[QUOTE
Specifically, the process of setting the outfeed table to the reference of the cutter head , .[/QUOTE]

I notice no-one answered this question?? I have the U.S . manual which specifically...

I will do that Jim.....went shopping at Bunnies for U beaut stuff got confused ! but will contact them direct with an order.
Might start with the book on how to do it!:U

Looks great Rob... haven't ventured in to Masters yet but this could be a good excuse. Brand name etc would be good , Thanks

Good point but I was thinking the sealing qualities of shellac and the colouring were important.

How clever..... as long as the rest of the world can see them.:-

Yup....I have started putting it on as you say. Up to the 3rd coat with light sanding in between. Looks good but sounds like a few more coats needed.
Not sure about french chalk ..haven't heard of...

When posting I cannot see any of my new posts. They are in the forum and activity stream but not in the 'new posts'.
Could it be something I'm doing wrong?

Hi folks,

Trying to get a shine . Using shellac from flakes. Is it supposed to give a good shine or should I use Poly over it?
Interesting that all the sites and videos I have found don't...

Ok....understand it now. The feed roller impression was deeper than my cut. This was due to trying to clean up my original table rails which were all cut at different visits to the table.( trying out...

Trying to setup new Jet 310hh and have discovered a new issue. The serrations on the infeed roller leave a visible impression on the timber (using thicknesser). Obviously it will take them off when I...

Thanks guys. The Triton option was one I was considering but since I use that in my table exclusively I don't know why I included it!!:B
Although I will check out the auction site for future use. ...

Having bought a bushing kit sometime ago from Carbatec I now would like to use it on either of my two routers. A Triton (big bugger) and a smaller Ryobi.
My problem is that neither of the plates...

Forgot to mention......they ( Gregory's) are bringing in a Jet clone.....looks prettier and it should be here soon. They did offer me one but I couldn't wait. I have a pic. somewhere. The estimated...

"If you're looking for high quality at JET prices, your only option may be to inspect/measure the tables on a JET or Carbatec machine at the depot/supplier before accepting delivery. These days,...

Thanks for that.....i will now check the thicknesser as I hadn't thought of that.

Just wondering, since I have 'taken the risk' and bought a Jet310hh, if the dished beds are obvious. I can't seem to find an issue with mine. If I do find them can anyone explain where it shows up on...

Having watched The wood whisperer set up his jointer and being educated by it I found his starting point of raising the outfeed table interesting. Having re-read your post I am realising that with...

Well all is good.....sort of.
I took the plunge and purchased the Jet310hh and a moving frame from Carbatec.

The unit is very quiet and seems to work well. I downloaded the US instruction book....

Thanks Brett,

From your post i guess the extra cost doesn't guarantee perfection ...... Oh well the 8" jointer from Carbatec ( with spiral cutters) might have its own issues then.
It is really...

Hi,
As a newbie in the field I have been struggling with the idea of a "combo" planer thicknesser. The trouble is the new beaut 'spiral/helical' technology is too appealing to resist.
Unfortunately...

Ahaaa.....that sounds simple enough. Is the safety switch a magnetic switch? Didn't realise that was the way it worked. I guess it is just unscrew one and replace it?

Thanks I'll try it:?

Have read most of this but cannot see any reference to using a RF switch to turn on/off a Dust Collector. The problem is that the safety switch on the DC is OFF once it has been powered off once. I...

Thanks guys...the unit isn't that old (CT317) ..maybe a year but has seen some heavyish work on some oregon. I can't wait to strip it down and check out the suggestions. It makes sense that something...

Hi all,
i am wondering why the planer /thicknesser (12 1/2 inch) is so noisy even when not cutting. Any maintenance adjustments possible to change this?
I have been looking at the helical upgrade...

Sorry guys...I did mislead you a bit because I've given up on the Master /slave concept after reading some of the posts here and elsewhere. I'm going for these new fangled gadgets which allow you to...

Thanks for that BobL. I should have mentioned that my best option is a pretend Master /slave version. i.e a plug in remote (wireless)mains device . This would also give me the chance to leave the DC...

I am looking to use a master/slave setup but have struck a problem. My Dust extractor has one of those on/off switches which can't be re-activated once the power is cut off at the switch. The Green...

Thanks Chambezio....good answer

I have purchased the Hare and Forbes sb10 table saw and , so far , I'm very impressed. My question is.....how do you know if it will take a dado blade? Is it about the opening in the plate or more...

As a new chum on this hobby i too would like to know how to select timbers based on which ones are best for purpose. Can anyone steer me the right way.
Thanks

Thanks for those ideas.... I might try the suggestions. Would need to buy a belt sander. Probably a good idea anyway. Any thoughts on which one?Only thing about stripping would be the volume. I have...

I am a new member and not at all familiar with all the available machinery. Although I have learnt a lot from the forums here. Can anyone tell me if I should use a planer or a thicknesser or...
