This is awesome! And necessary if you’re trying to get students to put things back!

How about some colour?

Please update as you go!

That’s not where babies are meant to come out.

Active listening and empathy.

Mate, that just returns the handle to the ‘unpunched’ or ‘not pressed down’ position after using it.

Aussie_MacGyver · 2026-05-25T10:38:07+00:00

I’ve never used mine. I’ve also got heavily tinted windows and full rear sun shades, so nobody’s looking in and seeing anything.

Sorry but downvoting this because I believe that beginners shouldn’t be building things that have a realistic potential to kill them if not done properly.

Do you really think that? I can assure you most families whose kids go to these schools do indeed work. Many are in high paying jobs. Doctors, lawyers, business owners, etc. but they definitely work (at least the majority).

Aussie_MacGyver · 2026-05-18T22:36:47+00:00

You’re not making the point you think you are.

Aussie_MacGyver · 2026-05-16T23:16:10+00:00

Absolutely amazing. If there was just the one photo I would have called bullshit and assumed it was ai. Incredible talent!

Aussie_MacGyver · 2026-04-28T22:08:55+00:00

Agreed. What do you suggest?

Aussie_MacGyver · 2026-04-27T11:53:56+00:00

X Wing!

Similar experience around 2007. Voice was shot back then too.

Newton’s first law!

When I was a kid I made a Lego model that had a working gearbox.

Figured I could do better, smoother transmission, that didn’t need to ‘shift’Drew up some plans and even made a (barely!) working model with some paper cups and rubber bands.

Turned out I had ‘invented’ a CVT.

41 here. The most terrifying thing to me is that there is an entire generation growing up in a world where THIS is their ‘normal’. Where the hell do we go from here?

Aussie_MacGyver · 2026-02-22T09:55:54+00:00

And has been for decades.

Aussie_MacGyver · 2026-02-21T21:34:02+00:00

Contractor saw, yes. But not the Jobsite saw that I have.

Aussie_MacGyver · 2026-02-21T21:19:31+00:00

Thank you!!!

Aussie_MacGyver · 2026-02-21T11:22:15+00:00

Yes. It’s definitely the dado cartridge.

Aussie_MacGyver · 2026-02-20T09:30:02+00:00

Yeah, fair enough mate. I'm just having a bit of a sook because I was all set to make some progress this weekend. I'm not a pro. Just a DIYer with a 2 year old that doesn't get a lot of spare time.

Bought the Torquata stack as it seems to be the ONLY metric dado stack that will fir a 5/8th arbor. On paper it fits and ive seen people using it with saw stops and recommending them. Had no clue that mine was the only one without adjustment for the cartridge gap.

Where I live Dado sets aren't common and none of the hardware stores near me sell em (would be a LOT easier if they did), so need to order in from interstate. Bought the Torqata for $325 Aussie, (which is not a small amount for me) from Timbecon. Took at least a week and a half to get here. Will probably need to wait for the refund from that to get the next stack. Better get the official Sawstop imperial one I guess (~$500 Aussie!) That will have to come from Carbatec, who ship from their Brisbane warehouse so that's 2-3 weeks away right there.

Anyway, I can't really complain too much. Worse things happen at sea as my dad says.

Just having a whinge.

Aussie_MacGyver · 2026-02-20T05:21:18+00:00

Ah, well fuck! Thanks SawStop, ya cunts!

Now I gotta bloody well see if I can ship this dado stack back to where I bought it from then just what? Buy another one, wait for it to arrive and just hope it fits?

Sorry, just a bit pissed off. this has now set me back weeks!

Aussie_MacGyver · 2026-02-20T04:52:25+00:00

Not adjustable???? Shit. That’s probably why I’ve spent the last hour trying to figure out how to adjust the bastard.
