I know I'm very late to this discussion Albert but can I please ask what machine did you buy and from whom? Drum sanders may be what I'll have to use but a WBS would be much better I think.

I can't speak for cards issued elsewhere but I don't believe this is the case for Australian cards. When I have bought goods from a merchant who doesn't have the chip reader POS device, they just...

My take on the whole affair is that chip cards don't offer a whole lot more security while they still have the magnetic stripe on the back. Skimming of credit card data has happened at ATMs where...

In Australia, we've had chip cards for many years. Because the card issuers did not want to leave out any merchants, the cards still have a magnetic strip for merchants who only have swipe POS...

My experience in Europe was that they seem to prefer Debit cards to credit cards. Locally issued credit cards seem to work OK if you can get one. They also seem to prefer Visa over Mastercard from...

Look up Osmo's Polyx-Oil - I use it and it's great. There are a few Youtube videos on it to give you an idea - Peter Parfitt did a couple of good ones.

It does off gas a little but the smell...

Thanks David,

I was looking to buy a SI 400 Nova with DROs but the price of those (3k for crosscut fence DROs + 1.2k for parallel fence) made me wonder if I could just rig up some DROs myself. I...

"-SIKO digital readouts: SIKO's product range is extensive but the "Magline" readouts and sensors are what you want. It's a-la-carte with these guys. You buy the sensor, the bracket, and the adhesive...

That's good although the air velocity will drop when the air enters the 5" section of the pipe but the airspeed should still be fast enough (5508 fpm). There is a good web page to assist with duct...

That's true but if I remember properly, the target speed for duct velocity (from Bill Pentz) was 20 metres per second (4000 feet per minute) so that would be 72 kph (or 45 mph) which isn't crazy fast...

"I had a fan type anemometer for about 30 seconds."

This was my experience as well. I guess the cheapies are not well constructed - you get what you pay for :D

I've never heard anyone complain that their workshop was too big :-)

You could get the recommended footprint sizes of your machines and lay those out with passageways between them. Any gear...

They sometimes don't fail completely - they can just lose some capacitance. Also the centrifugal switch that cuts the capacitor/starter winding out of the circuit at a certain RPM can fail. The...

If it's a 3 phase motor, it may be the bearing. If it's a single phase motor, there are a few extra components that can be the issue. Either case should be a simple fix. Cheers

I think like Erik says, you get what you pay for. In my case, (Felder Format4 Profil 45 X motion), I got what I needed. It was around AUS$32k without a power feeder - I think the SCM was more than I...

If one is going to buy premium equipment then maybe a new shed/shop is in order. :-)

When I had bought too much gear to fit into the garage, I had to have a shed built. It amounted to less than...

Hi - you know the problem with opinions - everyone has one :-)

Just my thoughts on the cutterhead - I also live in a residential area so (avoiding) noise is important to me. I originally had a...

Sorry Mike - I only just saw this thread and noted that it's two months old. Are you still looking for some guidance or have found a setting that works for you?

Cheers,

Hi Chris,

Which cyclone did you get? I know Carbatec have a few models and MWE also import some of the same versions albeit rebranded. I bought the 3hp mobile version as shown at:...

Hi,

Curt & Bob -Thanks for the answers. The fact that not many replied probably means this model isn't popular. I emailed Oneida about their export model but never received a response. There...

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone who has one of these units would share their opinion/experience on its performance please?

I have read the Bill Pentz info but on bulding a cyclone but I'd prefer...
