  1. The Drillpro branded jigs and squares on Banggood seem to the most popular and receive good reviews. There are even youtube reviews for some of the Drillpro branded items.
  2. Sorry to hear, I think you can get Freud router bits in South Africa, pricey but might be worth it if their saw blades is anything to go by.
  3. You could experiment with 3d printing one in the meantime while you wait for the part. Just up the wall count in Cura and it should hold up.
  4. I thought to just ask here rather than starting a new thread. If any hubbers are living in PMB could you please PM me, thank you.
  5. Looking at paints, how will the Duram DTM (Direct to Metal) hold up vs using a primer and something like Hammerite? As usual everything is done to a budget so trying to keep the price as low as possible.
  6. I also find that Rustoleum is not that much more expensive considering how much better the paint covers and how much longer you can spray with a can when compared to cheaper spray cans.
  7. Thanks, will look into it when shopping for paint.
  8. Thanks Stef, I will look into self etching primer Is there any brand primer and paint that you would recommend, I will be spraying with a compressor setup so looking for something that sprays well.
  9. Thanks Hairy, I am already subscribed to his channel. the frame I have is stamped steel so looking for a DIY approach.
  10. I recently bought an old table saw, I believe it is a Delta saw. The plate on the motor states 1983 and there is no other information about the saw on it. I painted it light grey, I don't like the black frame it currently has, but the paint doesn't seem to adhere to the black paint. In fairness I just lightly sanded it. My question now is what would be the best way forward? I guess I should use paint stripper to get all the loose paint off as well as anything else that comes off. Should the frame be cleaned completely to bare metal? To paint it again what would the process be? I guess primer first and then top coat? What paints and procedures do you recommend? I prefer to spray it so any paint recommendations that spray well will be beneficial.
  11. Thanks I also considered the whole pipe clamp idea to prevent it from splitting further.
  12. I have a centrifugal switch from a table saw that has cracked and is now spinning on the shaft. They seem to be hard to come by, is this something that I can fix with Pratley's steel, will it stick to the switch? It seems to be from cast brass or something.
  13. Thanks, was curious on what your process is. I currently use it basically as a french press, I find it quicker than using the filter coffee machine when only making for myself. I also have the metal filter which I prefer apart from having to clean it.
  14. What is your process on using the Aeropress?
  15. Are any of you guys still using the Ryder Force saddles? I purchased one yesterday and will see how it goes.
  16. My mom also got a booster installed at her house a few years back after threatening to move away from Vodacom, no problems ever since.
  17. I tried my hand at making hollandaise sauce, but the flavour was just a bit too acidic and buttery for my liking. I really like Mugg and Bean's version of a hollandaise, does anyone have any idea what additional ingredients they might be adding?
  18. I'm looking for a No.7, but they seem hard to come by.
  19. Where to you buy isopropyl alcohol?
  20. That and the fact that all the crossings are low level causeways that are designed to be inundated during a storm event. The problem with the frequent flooding at Meiringspoort is due to the vegetation in the main channel and floodplains that cause blockages at the culverts which in turn causes flooding.
  21. Lets say you by the TCR for R8k second hand, but new it is worth R15k. Do you insure for R8k or R15k?
  22. Jy kan Maizey Plastics probeer, ek dink hulle verkoop vinyl wrap.
  23. I already have a Capricorn tube. It has been printing flawlesly for about 6-7 months and only broke last week for the first time.
  24. I finally decided to put a glass bed on my printer. I ended up with a 4mm mirror. This is the best decision that I have made to up the print quality and ease of print setup. I don't have any adhesion problems and the base of the print comes out beautifully. I do have an issue where the print has failed due to the filament breaking at the extruder. I think it might be a blockage near the hotend. Any idea on how to clean the area between the nozzle and the ptfe tube?
  25. Had this in Jonkershoek as well. Coming down Firehut two ballies decided that they will rather push their bikes up the singletrack instead of riding the jeeptrack to get to the start. Something like this could end badly if you meet them head-on in a wrong section of the trail.
