Wizz, lets throw £5k each into the pot and market these items separately, wonder if we can get a machine each for our troubles, or some prophet. :)

I spotted this on the bay....... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Job-lot-top-quality-Woodwork-machinery-FELDER-MORE-/230478983349?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_BOI_Building_Materials_Supplies_Carpentry_Woodwork_ET&hash=item35a99e30b5 Ideal buy for someone setting up a commercial carpentry shop. Tony.

Hello Vortx, A warm welcome to the forum. I have the same lathe as you - the baby Jet, and jolly good it is too. I use a Robert Sorby chuck with my Jet. The Patriot, made in Sheffield. A nice well made chuck with lots of options for jaws, accessories etc. Here is a link for further details...

Flan, I have just purchased a couple of Camvac machines. A good tip from Rob, endorsed by Camvac, to reduce noise is to attach a hose to the top outlet and direct the noise away - behind a bench etc. I am going to try this. When researching noise I learnt that the "db" scale is not linear...

Hello Martin, Thanks for taking the time to post details and pictures of your impressive dust extraction system. Very informative in deed and much food for thought. Well done Martin. All the best, Tony.

Hello Ed, I saved this link in my favourites a while back; http://www.berger-tools.co.uk/category.asp?CategoryID=16 Cheers, Tony

I visited Camvac at lunchtime and chatted to Phillip the fella who represented the firm at Yandles last week. Advice and conclusions as follows; A single motor 63mm machine will easily handle dust from small machines, disc / bobbin sanders, bandsaw, small lathe, drill press etc over a...

I am going to call into Camvac and see what the fellas there recommend. I am thinking the GV336 model may just suit my needs. I am a bit fed up with my small ducting system and numerous blast gates here and there. I seem to spend time either unblocking the pipes, fiddling with the blast gates...

Hello fellas, Sorry to hear there wasn't any nice Elm at Yandles Rob, one wonders if the other punters nabbed it all on Friday. I am sorry I missed the show, but couldn't escape from work on Thur/Fri. It is just too far to drive in a day, 5hr+ each way. Still, hope I can make it to the...

Thanks Wizz, I will have a look for that review and the tip. Sorry I missed the Yandles show. Work commitments made it hard for me to get away on Thur/Fri. I usually make a two day trip to justify the 5hr+ drive each way. I like that show, to my mind the setting is what makes it, also the...

Hello fellas, Think I will get me one of these. The reviews on the Axminster site seem very favourable. http://www.axminster.co.uk/product.asp?pf_id=782719&name=numatic&user_search=1&sfile=1&jump=44 Has anyone got one of these? If so I would be grateful for a note of the dimensions, just to...

Struggling to escape for the weekend at the moment. :cry: :cry:

Tom, if it is any consolation my body is in tatters a well. All self inflicted mind you. Smoking and drinking. If bits don't keep falling off, they are shot to bits - I'm not going to make old bones thats for sure. Still as a misfit in an ever changing world I will view the prospect of leaving...

Thanks fellas for all the kind comments. I think the pumping of the concrete was a big success. I am not sure how much it cost as it is part of the fee I have agreed for all the groundworks. I will find out, although I am sure it saved a lot of labour time. The machine was on site at 7 am and...

Here are some pictures of last weeks work on the site for the new workshop; Railway sleepers to form a new wall in front of the old wall and extend the area to 25ft. Notice the steel I beams for holding the sleepers. Nearly killed the fellas who had to carry the thirty sleepers up to the top...

I have gone off my Sheppach. Don't get me wrong the results are more than acceptable, but the machine is annoying at times; 1. The fence has to be removed to switch to thicknessing mode which is tiresome as there is never any where to put it. 2. The dust collection shute is in two parts which...

I like the look of this router lift. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7CnVJr332E That little wheel looks a handy idea, particularly in conjunction with the measurement dial. Tony.

Ed Wrote Well I might just have to stand in a corner on my own, or with half a person nearby. :)

Thanks for further advice and for that drawing bignomis. In the picture I see a raised area in the middle what is the purpose of this? The edges also seem to slope away. Will raising the thickness of the base above ground level achieve the same advantages of the brick plinth on the basis that...

Hmmmm :? :roll: :roll: There you go, fixed the post, you had a space at the end of the URL DaveL
