@NiCd - don't get me looking at the Carbatec site They have recently opened a new store in Hobart, and it will remind me that I need to spend $1k+ on a dust extraction system to go with my new table saw I bought a few months ago :p

If you want me to make you feel better I can take a photo of the receipt from my last visit there

It might help :p

I have been able to source a suitable sensor for around $4.80 AUD delivered - I have to buy a few extra but it's not worth my time trying to make up my own at that price. They come complete with a stereo plug on the end so that will save me some time as well.

This is what they will look like

:eek What did you buy?

 

[NiCd]

most of the store i believe

 

[NiCd]

If ever you get in trouble with your wife show her that, when that run out of effect i can up it with my sydney tools invoices, festool is like crack.

I know I can't afford Festool so I don't even look :p

If i can give you any advice is dont try it. I brought a sander first up going nar they cant be that much better and ohh boy yes they are and you find yourself "upgrading" perfectly good tools to festool ones to you have all matching boxes that click nicely together and look pretty.

For some reason I have paid $120 for box to hold my sand paper that looks like the other boxes that hold my tools. I then feel compelled to make sure that box is then full of their special little sanding discs which means I have $700 worth of sand paper sitting in a $120 box- its a mental health issue.

They would make my shed look too tidy - we couldn't have that :D

 

[NiCd]

You could always hang them up on the floor with your other tools :)

How many do you need to buy? I need around 10 if you want to split the cost.

If your DIY project is half as good as it sounds, I'm sure you'd have no trouble moving a few through the forums ;)

Makes two of us, although my spares cupboard got a fair clean out when raising cash for the dogs surgery. It's nice and bare and ready for stocking now though :)

 

[MagicJ]

Payment made - now I just need to hope that they arrive :)

@Sam Parker it wasn't meant to be funny !!

I have used AliExpress a few times but this is the first time I have used AliBaba - you basically have to negotiate a contract with the manufacturer.

Keep us updated with how it goes, I have been curious on purchasing from there before :)
