No one with any experience will accept "wood in exchange for removal" for a suburban tree. The economics and risk simply say no!

Yes it is a nice specimen, straight and certainly has potential as...

+1 on QMP. Nice non-traditional style & also looks custom for a left hander.

Only one slight problem, most of the vacuum pumps that we use do not like moisture and fail rather quickly.

Good question. Perhaps less than SawStop. :D

And who said "We welcome in the new year and see out 2020 - it can't get any worse." It's not off to a good start in the good ol' USA.

One style of live center though many now use open or sealed ball bearings / roller bearings in the design.

The "reaching over/around the blade to collect stock post cut" is a very bad habit to develop. It becomes more hazardous, with far higher risk when the operator is not using a blade guard, and a...

The Felder PCS seems to offer a "better" solution in a number of key areas imo.



The SawStop relies upon a part of the human body to contact the moving blade to be detected then activate the...

The SawStop offerings are certainly of much higher quality than many of the offerings in that market segment.

I agree that overall the lower price point market segments do require "more protection...

Still unconvinced - so the "sausage" dummy that SawStop use to demonstrate the effectiveness of the technology is dependent upon the size of the "sausage?" or is a "pinky finger" less likely to be...

It appears to be an expensive lesson to learn, if in fact that you did something "wrong." One potential source of "false triggering" could be debris within the saws housing, say stray aluminium swarf...

I have had mixed experience with wood described as G striata, some absolutely fits the "oozes resin for years" tag while other pieces have been very accommodating. However as Ian rightly points out...

It is quite possibly, White Silky Oak - Grevilea hilliana; or Silver Oak - Grevilea parallela.

2 packages at $18.50 is OK with me & next year is fine with me - I'm in no hurry. Have a Merry Christmas.

Ah, it is very different!

I would advise not making any further attempts to start the lathe and to fully isolate it from the power supply. Contact H&F re the issue and formalize a warranty claim.

Parcel arrived mid last week. Very well packaged - thank you.

This does not seem at all plausible to me .... if the blade is stationary then rotated at very low rpm (compared to running 5 to 7000 rpm) and the saw is isolated as it should be when changing a...

Not to mention the very high potential for resin, dust and debris to inhibit the effective braking.

One has to wonder how these would survive in a typical workshop environment? Perhaps only suitable for use in an A/C's sterile office?

One "red flag" to me with this shed is the most unusual orientation of the "C Purlins" as they are in "Girt" orientation or its more likely that they are "top hat sections."

Wayne, I will take these.

Please add to the "tassie pines." I will make payment into your acct for the wood and another when you have the postage details.

Best to contact shed designer / supplier for specific advice. Very few of these structures are designed for "additional loads" only for the typical structure loads that it will experience during...

That is OK with me. Hope you caught a few trout. :D

Is it even solid wood? If purchased from a mainstream commercial furniture outlet I would say most probably not.

Hi Wayne,

No takers yet?? I will take them as your wood has always been good quality.

No rush on postage, the new year will be fine. PM postage when you work it out.

Cheers
Geoff

"An oscillator generates a 12-volt, 200-kilohertz (kHz) pulsed electrical signal, which is applied to a small plate on one side of the blade. The signal is transferred to the blade by capacitive...

I find SawStops explanation of their technology oversimplified with

1. Monitor & Detect


The blade carries a small electrical signal.



When skin contacts the blade, the signal changes...

I have often wondered just how sensitive the SS technology is and for the reasons you have listed. I decided that I would definitely not be an early adopter.

Will the SS activate if it hits say a...

I will take it.

Further to the above advice, take light "supported" cuts with a very sharp bowl gouge right from the start! Aggressive cuts will cause chip-out that is hard to remove even with a "#40 grit gouge." :-...

Try a timber recycling yard for old timber house stumps. Or a house removal specialist, they may be happy for you to take them off their hands for nix.

In that sort of scenario this is excellent advice.
