I'm a kiwi, not an aussie, but our Agriculture authorities view biological hazards similarly (for good cause ...). However have had no difficulty hand-carrying wooden items into NZ ... the key is to declare it and show it for inspection. I imagine a suitable declaration on the Customs label...

The principle sounds mostly OK to me ... but I do live in a relatively mild climate (winter "highs" of say 8C, and we get maybe only half a dozen frosts a year, summer highs of 25C). I've yet to install the metal ducting (other things get given a higher priority because what I'm doing works for...

This one from Axminster looks exactly like the one I have ... works well. It should come with a 90 degree elbow that fits inside the lid to direct the infeed air in a tangential rotation. The connectors on mine are 4"/100mm. Maybe a silly question, but what units of measurement are used in...

Have been browsing the forum ... I've no idea of your brands or your prices, but after a lot of searching and reading, the compromise I came to (having ruled out a full cyclone only because it would have been unsightly for a neighbour) was to get a 3hp quadruple bag beast (made in China) as the...

A further thought - has anyone used featherboards or other hold-down devices with a jointer - might this be a useful approach to avoid the hand-switching technique and yet maintaining a constant pressure on the piece being jointed?

Many thanks for the insights ... I guess I'm feeling vaguely guilty of "bad practice", because last evening I found I could do better controlling the workpiece by dispensing with the blocks and using my hands (but keeping away from the cutter zone - the flat guard on my machine is quite wide)...

I'm a British-born Kiwi, and a novice at powered woodworking. I recently posted a question on the above on the US hobby woodworking forum "WoodNet". As might be expected, most North American folk have jointers with the US-style guard, a "swinging arm" type of device commonly referred to as a...

I subscribe to both Woodsmith and ShopNotes ... quite impressed with the mags. The online account management system appears pretty reliable, but I've found posting questions to their online customer service pretty frustrating. Delivery ... like you, I'm resident outside the US. My guess is...
