We are trying to set up a home weights gym on a tight budget. We've had some barbell weights donated but many are quite rusty to the point that when handled with bare hands they cut the skin up a...

Thanks China - I did as you suggested and tested for leaks before firing it up.

I haven't had a chance to do any soldering yet (will need to clean up my work bench first) but have tried all 3...

My EZ torch arrived today. Love the size of it - almost half the size of my primus torch from the bottom of the handle to the tip - its got a bit of weight to it (less than the primus but more than...

Okay, will do - expecting it to take at least a week to arrive - hopefully won't get held up too much with all the Christmas mail.

Thanks - I'm sorted then!

So I've figured out I need the Primus adaptor PRI02 (http://www.primusaustralia.com.au/pdf/pg_15%20pri01%20INTERNAL%20VALVE%20ADAPTOR.pdf). If anyone knows where I can get this please let me know as...

Thanks DJ's timber.

I had been looking at a different torch as well (which I've now decided against) with different kits for US, European, British & Australian with different connections sizes...

I have my eye on a propane torch that I want to buy which I don't seem to be able to get here in Australia but could buy online from an American supplier. My only reservation is that I'm assuming...

I'm a jeweller and have been using an LPG only torch but now I want to upgrade to an LPG/oxygen torch. I'm not familiar at all with purchasing oxygen and am hoping I can get some help here. I know...

Does anyone know of a welding supplier in Brisbane that sells to the public? I am specifically hoping to get Aluminium MIG wire in alloys 5356 and 4043, diamond drawn, 1mm in size. If possible I'm...

I'm trying to cut jump rings (chain links) for jewellery with a 1.25" diameter x 0.010" 114 tooth high speed steel circular blade. The set up I've got is a holding jig (with a slot for the saw...

Thanks for the replies folks.

Just thought I would let you know how I went. I decided not to pursue the 2mm aluminium wire as I don't know what type of aluminium I need and time is running out. ...

Hi All,

I'm a bit lost - I'm making jewellery for an upcoming exhibition - have the designs ready to go but can't source some of the materials I need.

I am looking for 2mm round aluminium...

Just thought I'd conclude this thread by reporting back on my shopping. I went to Gregory Machinery on the weekend to check out their JET drill presses. The smallest one was huge... in fact they...

I see that mytoolstore.com.au is selling a Proxxon drill press... has anyone had any experience buying through this company? I've never heard of them before....

Thanks for explaining that Damien... I don't know much about tools and wasn't trying to be smart with my comment... was just saying what I understood to be the case. All I know about tools is what...

Sorry, should've mentioned earlier - I'm in Brisbane.

On another note, I do want to recommend strongly against buying Ryobi...

I thought all drill presses have variable speed - even the ryobi $100 cheap and nasty job has different speeds. There is a door on the machine casing that you open to change speeds - you need to...

Thanks for all those replies. It has given me a fair bit to think about and I think it has sort've made my mind up. The mill sounds like the most expensive option and will cost more and more if I...

I posted some time ago (I think in the wood working part of the forum) asking about drill presses and at the time some suggested that a milling machine might be more suited to my needs...
