Hi all
After 10 years of faithful Triton woodworking I sold my Triton gear and have upgraded to a Carbatec HB10. There is a huge difference in accuracy but I have had to relearn some of my woodworking techniques. I have joined the forum on a 40 degree plus day here in Adelaide to gain some ideas on using this new beast in my workshop. My interests include small box making scroll saw work and furniture making.
Have great day all
Paul :doh:

Hi
Thanks, Unfortunately too hot for the shed where I am working on a blackwood barristers bookcase (plan from the woodsmith). Fairly ambitious for a first project on this saw.

This new saw is amazing but also a bit scary being 15 amp 3 hp. Have bulit a really cool crosscut sled using a shop bought micro stop and it works really well. . Took me a long time to get this saw right. The instructions are terrible and very misleading. Looking forward to a cool change tomorrow.
Stay cool
Paul

Hi Paul and welcome. Ah the feeling though when you finaly get something performing the way you want it too, it just makes the job so much easier.

Hi
Yes, I have to say it is far superior to my Triton but the Triton has been great. The saw is well aligned now and a joy to use. Dreading that first kick back though.

G'day Paul,

The instructions are terrible and very misleading. Looking forward to a cool change tomorrow.
Find the comparable saw (i forget which one it is at the moment) at grizzly.com and use their instructions. Much better.
We have 46 °C and climbing at the local airport weather station, with 78 kmh wind gusts.
Cheers,
Mick

G'day Paul and welcomee to the forums.:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

Plenty of info here . Don't be afraid to ask questions as some bright spark will know the answer.

The heat down south is really chronic. I lived through some of that sort of stuff when I lived at A place called Rufus River, on the Murray near the SA border. Appreciate what you are going through.

Welcome to the Forums Paul,

Great to see another Adelaide lad! (They've got us out numbered you know):D

You will as we all have, find this forum to be addictive and the greatest source of knowledge. Where else can you pick the brains of so many other like minded souls?

Have fun,

Hi
Its great to find a local woodworker. This is of course a new thread but any leads on cabinet timber. I am tired of getting ripped off by a local supplier.
Any leads greatly appreciated
Cheers Paul
