I understand the dates of the show for each state will shift (if necessary) to avoid clashes like that you mention.

Candice confirmed this morning it is going back to the Melbourne Showgrounds for 2019.

I would largely agree with Doug. There was valid scepticism regarding the show and reason for people to not be sure of its future. I for one (as an exhibitor) was not sure how it could be improved....

PARKING: I failed in my mission to identify the free off-sire parking that was at the show, as things were a bit fluid. However the nearby parking seems to be adequate. I asked Candice for some more...

Cheers.

I'll find out tomorrow during setup and let this thread know.

Regarding FREE PARKING: I spoke with the organisers today and they say there is a combination of free on-site parking and free off site parking, about 2 minutes walk away is another car park set...

Not sure. I can confirm tomorrow whilst I'm there doing set-up.

Parking is free for people visiting Seaworks Venue for a show.

Some additional information... In the below list of exhibitors it lists IDEAL TOOLS. We will be there but not with out Ideal Tools store products, we are primarily demonstrating our Logosol (Sweden)...

Hard to know what moisture content will be internally. I have slabbed 15 year old fallen trees and internal MC was above 40% even though externally it seems bone dry. Mostly Messmate, I can't speak...

I could not speak for the Yukon itself, but I have had numerous conversations with people who have owned similar "knock-off" chainsaws. Most of the conversations are in the context of them now...

Hi Glenn,

Can you clarify the dimensions (logs and output) and volumes you plan to mill? Mostly slabs, posts, boards, etc?

Some mills are going to be ideal for large dimensions and some more...

My thoughts are the DTS/DTSC are far move useful than the RTS/RTSC as the DTS/DTSC has similar surface area over all to the RTS/RTSC but the advantages of the delta tip.

In my humble opinion and...

Hi BobL. I expect you know this already, but for the benefit of others...

With Stihl 3/8th low pro chain the drive link is 1.3mm gauge... Stihl name this 'picco'. So you need a 3/8th lowpro...

This is trying not to be an ad, but trying to throw some more information into the discussion. Most of the time we use a Stihl 3/8th low profile full compliment chains semi-chisel chain with with 10...

BAHCO have been making metal cutting bandsaw blades for a long while. And of course most people will come across BAHCO hacksaw blades and handtools in many stores. Further advancing timber bandsaw...

I'm just returning from Sweden where I have been exploring the new Logosol B751 bandsaw. Lots of discussion with BAHCO about the different types of blades for that mill... spring steel, bi-metal and...

As many below mention. Blade sharpening solution needs to be considered by anyone thinking of getting a new band saw mill. Some are lucky enough to have the option of a local pro sharpener, but these...

Hi Stevo and co.

As soon as the new Logosol BAND751 bandsaws land in Aus we will be giving them a thorough testing on Australian timbers. Can't wait! :U

Our new bandsaw is not the same as the...

You are on the right track. Definitely not a cheep tool. I expect worth more than $400 if in very good condition and put on eBay. Although I've not done any recent research. The OF2000 us...

The fence can drift after some use. This can happen with a new machine or a machine getting regular use. After some time the fence holding mechanism has bedded in the lever does not seem to clamp...

Sounds interesting. It would be great to see some video some time if at all possible.

:tapedshut:

Yes,good to see you back.:)

The blades are the same format. I'm not sure if they come from the same factory or have the same sources. But I'm pretty sure the Vecturo plunge accessory and a couple of other FastFix accessories...

This is not answering your question, but I just wanted to mention the Festool Vecturo is a close relation to the Fein Super-Cut (pro model) not the Fein MultiMaster (handyman) model. But Festool has...

No new CMS that I am aware of. I would not read too much into the stock level description of Festool AU website.

The ETS-EC (brushless) sanders are not a replacement of the current ETS sanders, the current ETS sanders are still in production and likely to be for some time. The ETS-EC sanders are intended for a...

I can only speak for the Festool OF2200 here, but I recommend exploring the OF2200 by doing two things:

1. Look into the accessories for the OF2200. How many of these might be useful for you,...

Hi Bob and co.

I just wanted to add a few comments.

First... A disclosure in case it's not clear by my signature, my company Ideal Tools is the distributor of Logosol Swedish chainsaw mills in...

Hi. Anthony from Logosol (Australia) here.

It’s good to see a discussion about our Sauno kiln units and thought I’d add a quick message to mention I’m happy to contribute any information I can.
...

Hi David.

The DF500 will work with 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10m cutters and plunge (all by the 4mm) them up to 28mm deep as a mortice. The DF700 will work with longer cutters 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm and...

Tricky indeed. Domino is nice... f2.8 at 200mm is nice also. If it was not a constant f2.8 lens I'd definitely say go for the Domino.

Is that a constant f2.8 aperture through to 200mm?

Good vid. Here is a great video showing great close up images of the connectors, really helps understand how they work.

As already mentioned by other members, for cold metal in small quantities it should present no problems. Drilling swarf, cold cutting aluminium and steel. Sparks are a real issue, so any process that...

Hi Les.

Can I clarify, is it a replacement medium pad that is causing the problem, or the original one and the behavior has changed over time?

And one other thing to check, the brake pad, the...

Congratulation!

Good strategy, ETS150/3 now and ROTEX 150 (/5) later.

This does make me think about plunge speed and accuracy. Some people plunge fast, some slow. Fast into end grain can cause inaccurate mortices. Nearly every plunge I make produces an accurate mortice...

I have a couple of general suggestions.

1. Rather than continue testing with the pine, machine up some hardwood to give you a pair of perfect boards to test your process out on.

2. Despite what...

The outside diameter of the Domino dust port is approx 27mm.

Looks like a great event - I hope lots of people turn up and lots of money is raised for the CIKA and the children.

Nice summation.

I want to comment on the tear down guy's negative view of the blade lock and offer some accurate clarification.

Yes the blade is indeed locked with a pin on the armature fan.... but. Unlike most...

Although he does appreciate some of the engineering, he fundamentally does not understand the objective of the saw/system nor many of it's features, so either misunderstands or misrepresents much...

Some non-Festool guide rails are not compatible with the entire range of Festool tools. For example the Makita rails have a different outside 'rib' which does not allow for the correct use of the...

Yes - did the video even show it plunge cutting? It can do that as well as being a pendulum saw.
