After digging around for dimensions, Radius (centre to outer edge) of Mega Jaws when fully closed is 143 mm. My lathe's clearence (between spindle centre and bed) is roughly 154mm. This doesn't really leave much working adjustment like you said. Chas, I think I'm going to copy your idea of the...

Guys, thank you very much for giving this your attention, really appreciate it. On your advice I have given RP a call and they have said that from the centre to the outer edge of the back plate the radius is 143mm closed, this makes it an overall closed diameter of 284mm. I have re measured...

Yes that would answer my query. Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I was wanting to know what the outside diamitter of the jaws are when closed just to be sure they will fit on my lathe. Many thanks Dave

Hello to all. I am thinking of buying the larger remounting Jaws from RP to mount in the SC3 chuck but just wanted to make sure there will be enough clearance from the lathe bed without the jaws bottoming out. I've got an Axminster midi and the distance from the centre point of the drive centre...

Please excuse me for jumping in here but I am also thinking of buying the larger remounting Jaws from RP to mount in the SC3 chuck but just wanted to make sure there will be enough clearance from the lathe bed without the jaws bottoming out. I've got an Axminster midi and the distance from the...

I think for that reason I will go for an 8 inch wheel so thanks for the feedback. Also good to know about the micro bevel from stripping Cheers guys Dave

Thanks both I like the idea of a leather honing wheel and will look in to that. Do you have any issues with a hollow grind on skew chisels with a 6inch wheel or would a 8 inch be better. Many thanks Dave

Thanks the in for W2S. I do like the look of those CNN wheels. So if I was just going to use one grit so I could go from the wheel to the wood, what grit is best

I would like to be able to do both options. Thanks

Hi all, I need to buy a grind wheel for my 6 inch bench grinder to sharpen lathe chisels and would like to ask you what grit do you recommend please. Many thanks Dave

Yes I think that is the case regarding the blade does trim off what it needs to until It get to the point when there is enough clearance and no binding. I did already trim small amount of rubber that was binding against the right side of the blade just as a cautionary thing for my piece of mind...

Hi all. Well I have gone and bought myself a Metabo 216 and I have to say, the build quality is all lot better than I expected. The fence is bang on square ever time it's locked in place, and it is so user friendly thankyou for recommending it, I can't wait to start my new wood working venture...

Thanks for all your recommendations and tips. I will follow them up and decide where to go from there. Thanks again. Dave

Thank you for sharing that info with me Bodgers. I want to use it in the shed. I don't want a big machine as space is a little on the tight side but not to bad. At the same time I would like to be able to use it just outside my shed too. I would like to kit out the same shed by making some...
