Apologies these are now sold

Unfortunately now broken up and is in the back of the scrapman's pickup

now sold

Failing health, been blue-lamped to A&E 4 times in last 12 months, so future a little uncertain..

Kinda strange to be posting this, I have all but sold my entire workshop contents and had this machine initially for sale and then free to a good home and today the prospective owner dropped out after seriously underestimating it's weight. So I am left with a machine no-one wants and tbh it's a...

Lovely selection - good catch!

@Blister Lets see your pots :)

Gone to a new home!

I agree with the comment this looks like at 1st glance click-bait and then once translated into plain English it's more a case of no sh*t Sherlock - the same principal as @Spectric notes is precisely the same be it a twist drill, forstner bit or even a plane throat. @Silken you can with some...

£10 local pick-up or +P&P

Seen some action but serviceable, steel box section bars and cast moveable clamps, can be reversed for spreading £20 local pick-up or +P&P

Final round of clearing out my workshop I found these lurking amongst the shavings - 1. Marples 64mm wide 2. I. Sorby 57mm wide Plenty of life left in the blades, both need their bevels adjusted and are quite thick 5.4mm & 4,3mm respectively Local pick-up or for the cost of P&P

Take a look on Facebook Marketplace or ebay, loads to choose from nearly new to well used. I can't remember the precise model mine was but it was a1000W motor and was one of their range whose part number ended with /2 S R+L which had the variable speed dial on top at the rear. There is a looks...

That is a thing of beauty - I love it !!

My Metabo had a lock button beside the variable speed trigger squeeze so you could lock it on maximum, and just dial in your desired rpm. Sometimes would have it running for 30mins or more and no issues with overheating even when tackling difficult materials

For sure it makes me realise how little I know about these things,, I know with the one I have, by design it works best when you have got the burn correct and a constant burning edge on the principally hardwood logs I used to feed it. In 9 years I did go through one cast iron grate and one glass...

This product is interesting - I had always understood that anything that used the rocket stove principal would require very high temperature liner to prevent damage to the steel body - I guess this is all about the thermodynamics of these stoves, a subject I have little knowledge or experience...

I'd second the recommendation if corded works for you for a Metabo, I don't know what the newer models are like but the older model I had was variable speed, sintered metal gearbox and a decent keyless chuck that had no runout I could determine - I occasionally would use 1mm bits in a pin-chuck...

Sorry these have now gone..

You also need to check the vintage of the machine - the early - I deduce PT260 I had used a serrated roller on the in-feed and plain on the out and no rubber coatings
