https://www.mowspares.co.uk/brands-distributors/parkside-parts/33-drive-link-chainsaw-chain-20cm-8-parkside-saws Seems cheap enough to be a disposable part. I'd be surprised if it's anything other than a ⅜ths chain, so files and holders should be easy to get. If you aren't sure take the chain...

Might be worth adding 'knitted wire mesh' to the search. https://filters.co.uk/material/knitted-wire-mesh/ These people may be able to help

My memory isn't always 100% but didn't someone on here post a simple design for a stick gauge for checking diagonals? edit: Pinch sticks

Do you mean a rule joint, like a drop leaf table would have?

According to this it's a 49-139 belt assuming this matches your lathe...

On the Fox version the lock mechanism isn't the best, but I've never had it drop in that fashion. What are you cutting and how deep in one pass? Will the height wheel turn by hand with the lock on? If it turns easily it's faulty and should probably go back. On checking mine it's possible to...

Check out the likes of Farmers Weekly, there are a few companies that do that sort of thing. Whether it's more cost effective than digging it out and replacing I don't know

Up there with that other classic: 'If you don't stop snivelling I'll give you something to really cry about'

One of my favourite reviews: "manages not to make the subject matter too dry"!

Nice restoration of a very useful piece of kit. Often thought about one of these for a mini forge using fire bricks

Stupid question but can you get access from both sides/ends halving the length needed? If not Hobby's sell a 1mm o/d 300mm brass tube if you can solder something up

You could use a cabinet scraper, but glass will do a great job, surprisingly difficult to break a small piece, and you can dub the short ends with carborundum paper or a devil stick if you are concerned about nicking your thumbs on it

To save a lot of dust, pop round to your nearest glazing company and beg some offcuts of 4mm glass. Ideally pieces about 50mm x 100mm so a donation to their biscuit fund may help. These pieces, scraped across the top at about a 60 degree angle, will remove the finish quickly and it is possible...

Looking at completed auctions of myfords, there aren't many with the gearbox. Those that had it went nearer £1000

I think some Jet models were interchangeable with Delta, so might be worth a call to Axminster tools

I have the Fox version of that Excel table, the things I have noticed are that there are only two insert rings, so some cutters are 'floating in mid air', and any adjustments tend to be fiddly, measure 12 times and cut once. It's a step up from the piece of MDF with a router screwed to it that...

Looks like you may have a bit of 'olive ash' in the middle of those bigger rings, it's lovely stuff

Flexcut do an adapter so you can use their blades on proxxon tools. There is a spoon chisel but I think it only comes as part of a set.

According to Biven Machinery a record SC4 chuck kit weighs 2.5kg, so allowing a bit for a plastic case and T bar yours isn't too far over that. Looks like the Elf can swing a 14 inch blank outboard so I don't think it'll have any trouble

I'd still go with oak. Does it smell like oak? And if you put something iron on it does it go black?
