Hi WelshDave Cant find that firm would you provide their email address and their part number please as I am sure it will be appreciated by several members cheers

This is a good price for a new Axminster lathe if it suits the OP. Its an Axminster AC305WL half price at £240...

Ah sorry misread the model no and there I was thinking whoopee - sorted

If it turns freely then just check the fuse in the plug is correct and the wires are securely tightened in the plug and off you go

Strange Maybe accept its one of those things and give up trying to find a solution and fix a short length of 2x4 to the frame it won't fall off if it's screwed on

Ok the Myford ML8 lathe was good in its heyday but just consider that they started production in the 1940's and ceased manufacture in the mid 1980's! So a used machine will be in the region of 40 years young so is it the right lathe for a first lathe for someone with £500 -£750? A newer lathe...

Sorry for so many words (Ive time to spare at the moment) hope some of it is helpful to you. Why not try and wiggle the bottom part of the handle off by picking out the rusty and debris - then when its off you may be able to get a pair of mole grips on the metal shaft/rod/bolt bit thats left...

Hi and thanks for this thread AndyT - has made me dig out some paper plans I downloaded from the internet a few years ago and made into full size templates (onto the back of wallpaper) and then started building using pallet wood. Never finished the project - think I will get some proper wood and...

Is it possible to cut out the old one and have the replacement welded back?

Put a beermat over it - fixed :)

I like Doug B approach and would follow Bingy man idea about mixing the stain with the filler (which is usually white OR buy one about the right colour to start with) as this would avoid a white line at the joint (however you do it) that the stain might have trouble concealing. If your new wood...

Similar to the above but I would use loads of woodworking specific pva so that it runs out of the split then tap the dowel into place and then clamp the wood and close the gap(s). It looks that in addition to the single dowel there is another hole where fits a screw with a profile shape (can't...

Stanley no 3for me is a great plane for smaller jobs. Like Bazzason for no discernable reason I seem to marginally prefer older records to older stanleys

How about a larger version of the coconut idea to fix on an electric car you could have the clip clop sound instaed of a gentle brm

Very nice work On a slightly different tack bowling balls are now made from some type of manmade material- must be hard - rubber or summat? Can they be turned or do they have some sort of nasty inside not compatible with now wood turning lathe tools - anyone tried?

Ive noticed some round things along the base and how do you sharpen it with those in the way?

Have you considered a length of (new) scaffold board - quite often made of Spruce - well the ones in Wickes are and might already be the size you need would take a stain/etc if you wished. It may split a little (like most wood) left out in the weather. A board would give sufficient for you be...

This sounds a great idea for injecting wallpaper adhesive onto bubbles on long dried wallpaper to get it to stick back to the wall Any idea where I can some please The local chemists looked at me as if either I was a drug addict or whatever as they didn't understand my purpose. Anyway refused to...

I don't have one of the RP Lathes but have heard well of them and same as Carry Book haven't heard of recalls. Can't see them on the hope website so perhaps they did and no longer stock them
