I briefly had the Triton. In theory it should be a great tool but in reality it didnt work for me for 2 reasons.
1, you have to line up the tool precisely with the mark on the wood. There is no lateral adjustment.
2, it's not built accurately enough. On mine, the fence was angled relative to...
Good points everyone, thank you. I will replace the bag with another purpose made one. I wouldn't feel comfortable taking it to a launderette in the state it is.
@Yojevol that is very kind. I am fully prepared to buy a new one, but if the diameter of yours was 500-600mm then I would like to...
My chip extractor is housed in a lean-to round the back of my workshop, with the hose going through the wall. As such, I am not particularly concerned with filtering the air coming out as it blows away over the adjacent fields. The larger chips are collected in the usual plastic sack beneath the...
Thanks Nick, that's interesting. I will cut the plate out. It seems a little silly to have it in the first place, given (on my machine at least) there is no cutoff switch on the main cabinet doors, which you can therefore open with the bandsaw still running. If I did wish to insert my hand into...
I recently acquired the above bandsaw, and there is a plate covering most of the 100mm dust port at the base of the machine. It is welded/folded in place, and appears to be original. See attached photos. Does anyone know why it is there? I plan to cut it out as the dust collection isn't very...
Is there much flex in the pantograph mechanism? I.e. as you move the handle left and right without the sliding mechanism moving, does the router cutter move much?
I have done a trail of laminating plywood, and it didn't go well. The thin strips curled and lifted at the edges, despite careful clamping. This was before it even saw a bathroom. I think I will revert to using solid wood in T&G or overlapping rebate to accommodate movement. Thanks everyone for...
