There is currently a group of people putting together a group buy in Australia, you might be able to tag along and get their discounts. I am pretty sure they are getting 25% off the web/listed prices, If you send me a PM I can give you the organisers contact details. Joez

Hi All, I am looking at upgrading from a HVLP gravity feed spray gun to a small pressure pot setup, I have been trawling ebay for a suitable unit and have come across some Sealey units for sale. I have never heard of Sealey before and I am looking for some feedback on the quality of their...

In Australia you can get MR MDF with a dull malemine coating designed to be spray painted. The Malemine gives you extra water proofing and the surface takes a spray finish really well. I have never used it as a bench top though, but I would say if you can source it, its a great option.

My Minimax machine is the same, the jointer (its a combination machine) does the same but to a lesser extent. I run the jointer without dust collection for this reason. joez71
