Just going through all the bits I found in the drawer and thought what can I do with this?

I think the AP406WL is the same as the FU 200 which wasn't sold in the UK at the time I bought the 180. Simon should be able to clarify.

I've had a Twister FU180 for about 4 years now and can heartily recommend it. I bought mine from Simon Hope and delivery was trouble free from Germany. That said, it is pretty much the same as the Axminster one (AP406WL I think) so take your pick. Mine is with the legs which are really solid...

Assuming your object is safely held in a chuck I would advise that you use a parting tool to obtain a parallel slice which you can finish with a saw once you approach the centre of the object if you prefer. Plenty of vids on YT i.e.

I'll get the popcorn!

...and another request for Mother's Day.

Back in the mancave on the lathe after a long absence following my op. Just playing with all the bits I have on the shelf. Someone asked me if I could do some salt and pepper mills and I had a bit of locally sourced maple which turned nicely with some lovely figure in it. Very satisfying.

Just measured mine with a vernier and mine is 2mm more on each dimension i.e. 114, 86, 64, and 46.

I'm slightly baffled as well. I just bought some Nova 25mm bowl jaws and the accompanying paperwork is the same as yours. One point to note, Record jaws have a parrot beak grip on the compression side whereas the Nova jaws I just purchased have a straight grip inside, not even a dovetail...

Who measures wood in litres??? Maybe Kingwood? Or Camelthorn?

I use both Record SC4 and Nova chucks and the jaws are interchangeable.

Perhaps Wenge?

There's the secret. Start a grammar thread and you'll get more humour than on the joke thread! Perhaps?

Beat me to it! Just goes to show the difference between literacy and intelligence - endless, tedious quotes on a joke thread!

Have a look at @petermillard of this parish on YT. He has a series on track saws including a rail comparison review.

I've just used some EH50 (now called EH125) on a deep pour and no problems at all despite being a bit old. 3 days in pressure pot and temp between 15 to 20 C. Swindon composite reckon 20C is good for a cure according to their blurb. You say you heated the resin before mixing but did you allow...
