Hi Possibly Record Coronet No 0 lathe try searching that name Its Record from long time back, well before the Record Power name existed - sort of the same company though

Well for my pennyworth a worn out old file is just that - fit for recycling as scrap! The amount of hassle that others have described to make something else that probably will never be as good as a purpose made item imo seems a waste of time and resources - well Ive said it - maybe the only...

Hi Naerok is Korean spelt backwards and I have come across this branding on cheap woodworking equipment (lathes) They make generic machines that others rebadge. I suspect the Clarke 16 scroll saw might be the same -- google looksee or look at the well known online auction places

Hi I've recently bought one of the above to replace a similar but smaller other make device. So far its pretty good - a small item was missing from the box and Record Power posted it and it arrived next day. I cannot fault their customer service people who were very good. However I have found...

BTW Asked Axminster who say - no plans in the pipeline for anything like the Proedge

Hi Saw the comment about buying a ProEdge. Im thinking of getting one worthwhile? Also wonder if there is a similar machine made by others, regards okeydokey

Many thanks all, particularly Custard for his in depth info. Look forward to any more thoughts, btw does anyone else make a similar belt machine? cheers Paul

Thanks Chas very useful Its partly the speed as well - the water wheels seem to take ages and if you had to reshape instead of a light touching up it must take an eternity

Hi Folks I'm sure this has been discussed previously but I cant find where/or how best to search perhaps? I need to sharpen the occasional chisel/gouge/plane iron and whathaveyou and have spent some time with various oilstones,wet and dry paper stuck to glass and borrowed a Fox Whetstone system...

Afternoon folks I've got the chance of buying one of the above - newish at reasonable price, anyone got one? Any comments on how good they are? thanks

Thank you very helpful info cheers

Hi folks I might be able to get an S model at a good price is it worth buying as the bed looks (via one the available photo) very short, maybe too short for practical use? Are all parts the same as a standard model ? or perhaps set it up for small bowls or a sander only? All comments welcome please

Thanks for the tip! will do - cheers

Hi I've just inherited a Perform lathe and some bits and stuff one of which is a Supernova Chuck but no key. Its not Supernova 2 which has a hex shaped key but has a Jacobs type gear key on a shaft with a pivot at the gear end so thats just Supernova. I've been told they're no longer...

Thank you Normancb I think youre about right cheers

Hi on a sunny day Is there any way of establishing by serial number when ML8 lathes were made? I have one with S/N 119763, It cant be as easy as month 11 in 1997 and no 63 that day as I think they stopped in the 80's. How about 63 (1963) sometime? Does anyone know? The current Myford say do not...

Thanks Robbo Have just sent a PM (or think I have) let me know here if it doesn't turn up, or send me a PM - presumably one gets a notification that one has been received? regards

Thanks LancsRick Yes you are right it does have those collars, but I might have found the answer by accident. I thought I would leave the lathe running for a while and add more drops of oil to give the bearings a nice wash. Did that for 10 mins or so and no play at all! So perhaps the answer is...

Hi Good folks I have acquired a "Major" S/No 119MAY72 from its home in someone's workshop before he moved to a smaller home, he said its not been used for many a year. Came with the full saw table attachment, faceplates three tool rests / brackets and all in its very good condition for a little...

Hi good folks I am restoring a rusty Record No 3 which is missing much of the blue enamel? paint? I have found that the correct colour is Roundel blue BS381C 110, I can get it mixed (aerosol can only) in various flavours Cellulose, Acrylic and Synthetic Enamel. Then full gloss, semi gloss...
