Sorry, I don't have any photos.
I will run through a the process and see how we go.
Say I want a beading that fits a 10mm wide by 5mm deep groove. I make some bead stock up that is 12mm wide x6mm...

Hello Andrew,
Have you seen any silky oak. You may have the local nsw version - grevillia robusta around there, I don't know. True silky from Qld will go browner with age, the grevillia will go...

Hello Standby,
I have done this with a trim router with a sharp 3mm bit in it. Cutting about 2mm deep. A circular saw will give excessive tearout across the grain and create issues with the corners....

Hello Wands,
in my first workshop I put three clear panels in the roof for that extra light-all about 1 metre long by one sheet wide. I ended up covering them as the sunlight created three bright...

Splinter, I have an 8kva (6400kwatt) Dunlite unit (Honda 13hp and Italian MSN alternator) and I weld easily with it. 2.5mm rods mainly though sometimes 3.2mm. Very pleased with it. Picked it up from...

Welcome Sood;
Biesemeyer style fences; H&f....$275 Carbatec....$309
I like mine too.
Cheers, Tony.

Eggs, there is an Incra forum about 4 names up on the main entrance page. I am off to h&f Bris tomorrow to put into my saw the motor it seems you already have in yours Wolffie. Mind telling me when...

Hello Bresam,
will do but it will not be for a little while-some windows to do first! It is always a little difficult getting the sheets onto the saw, dep on thickness and material but I think the...

Hello Eggs
I am interested to see how you go with your new toy. I have just set mine up. They are well built I reckon. A comment while you have the lid off. Zero clearance inserts are very handy but...

Hello and welcome mrperpy,
you mentioned pre loved timber- I don't know where you are in Bris but on my trips up there I have visited The Demolition Yard, 55 Cavendish Rd Coorparoo, just near where...

Found the info. Looked on his website:doh:
Tony.

Would one of you GPW drivers mind letting me know the amp rating of your 2hp motor. I've read that you are impressed with the power they have. I have ended up needing to put a new motor on my new H&F...

Yes the top comes off but moving it takes it out of alignment with the blade as far as the mitre slots go. The top is held in place by 4 bolts sitting outside the top of the cabinet, so they are easy...

Hello Eggs,
the st12d comes with wheels. IMO it is similar to the Carbatec Ts10hb only heavier and has the larger blade. What do you want to do with it. I am building my house and will be doing a...

Hello Lee Roy,
I went through the new saw routine recently. I have now the Hare and Forbes ST12D. I picked it up in Bris for $1355 inc gst. Woodworking show special. It runs a 12 inch blade but I...

Good shot Tony.
I would be proud too! You certainly picked a piece to show off your dovetail making skills - they look pretty good. Did you do the secret compartment-don't answer that.
Turning...

Hello again
what if Amazon and Carbatec etc worked together!!
Without those Australian suppliers doing the many years of building/supplying a market Amazon etc would not have one.
Tony.

Quote "My last order from Amazon earlier this month was mailed in 3 shipments and 3 different shipping companies - Iparcel, DHL global mail and UPS. UPS was fastest followed by Iparcel and then DHL...

Glad to be of help.
So a piece of history to boot!
I have a H&F 15 inch thicknesser with springs under the blades and it makes changing so easy. If you need to do the bearings on your machine...

hello Kingfisher,
just read this and it looks like the blade has been placed on the wrong side of the locking wedge. That curve in the outermost face of the wedge (that covers almost 2/3rds of the...

Yes Groggy a couple of comments.
This thread seems to have been answered a while back with a no-It is up to us, not the forum to create input for this.(not denying your help) So maybe a new...

Hello all,
well, what a topic for a campfire on a very cold night. To me all the forum is doing is providing the table (or campfire) we all sit around. Hardly be held responsible for the...

Hello icor1031,
the power planer with a fence will do it. You could add a timber face to the fence to make it as large as you need. A router with a straight cut bit and straight edge is another way....

Thanks Alexs.
Wonderful.

Some more on the pressure thing.
When I take a piece of wood to my jointer I am attempting to change the shape of that piece of wood with the cutter blades and tables only. To do this successfully I...

on rethink, it may still do-I have no experience with them- yet. I guess you could still try the closest and most distant cutters from the fence and see. No need to do all of them. A piece of...

Oops:)

Hello Spartan.
are the jointer blades parallel to the outfeed surface? To check this unplug the machine, lay a piece of straight hard timber( 500mm or so long) on the outfeed table next to the fence...

Hello Jafakatie,
agree with Vernonv -very, very old cypress at a pinch, though you will need to thoroughly suss it out for small cracks. It can split as it ages dep on where it has been used. I...

Hello Josh, I agree with Soundman and Master Splinter there. I am also building in recycled hardwood. I used Solver decking oil-the cheapest, Williams have it, as after my own tests l found little...

Well! I am back from Carbatec Bris. Nearly did a refund jobbie but after shooting off all over town with my straight edge (leaving the saw at the shop) looking at tops and finding similar I realised...

They do it so well-had me in and screaming NO NO NO argh. Is nothing sacred!!!
Tony

Thanks Mike- Quote "Being fussy means being deligent at striving for the best. And the best you can get out of your equipment will equate to better (easier) work down the track. Of course never...

Mike, something I just realised -duh- you are talking thou in your thread. which is the answer I was after to my query-whether or not I was being too fussy with this saw-and it seems I am definitely...

Thanks Stewie, Mike.
Stewie; the saw is repacked now so I can't post any pics-the wings are held on by three 8/10 mm bolts with spring washers. I am new on this forum and still need to get a handle...

Hello Steve and welcome.
You could try having a rave to the Flood people-1800 226 113 free call. I found them very helpful.
Cheers
Tony.

Hello all,
I am in the throws of purchasing a new tsc-10hb and am having issues with table flatness.The first unit had 1.5mm clearance across the table due to wings not sitting flat. This was...
