Maybe buy one through a seller that has a good returns policy?

Flat bevels or concave bevels? When I was a young teenager and started turning I didn’t know there was a difference. Now I rarely turn but know a fair bit about grinding bevels on other cutting tools so have wondered if the final geometry makes a big difference?

I have run a bit of cable behind plasterboard and each time I’ve ended up with multiple holes along the route that needed repairing. You can’t tell now as it’s fairly easy to patch but it is still a hassle.

I bet it would be easier than what you’re hoping to do.

Do you have coving in the room? Or skirting boards?

I haven’t used one or seen one in person. This looks promising though. Seems too good to be true?

Yes, the spindle. Early morning brain fog - I couldn’t think of the correct name! Just ensure that the spindle is orientated so that the grub screw sits in the dipped side of the groove so that it spreads correctly.

The most gorgeous stuff to turn!

Get ready for the time wasters! It seems to be the worst place, and not just my experience!

There’s also a style of handle where the square bar has a split in each end then a grub screw in the handle tightens into that split, effectively making it work as a through bolt. Pretty effective.

Couldn’t turn the bold off for some reason!

if they’re fire doors then I doubt they’re fire rated anymore….

Wouldn’t a smaller thrust bearing diameter mean that you definitely wouldn’t be able to have it touch the back of the blade though? Easy enough to try though - just buy a spare and pop it in a drill and file the edge to a smaller diameter.

So cut the bolt shorter?

So you could move the housing forward a bit on the steel bolt to stop the rubbing or cut the bolt shorter as there’s a fair bit of excess.

You’ll need to adjust both.

You’re talking about something different to what I’m asking about. I’m talking about the bits in the pic I posted.

And the peg for the bearing that goes into the bar is central? It would make sense that one is offset. Pics of both would be good.
