Thanks, Just had a look at their site and the word 'refurbished' got my interest. They have some good value refurbished machines and they give the full spec, including motherboard details, so I'll have to have a good look and get in touch, see what else they have.

There's more Mac's in your house than in Scotland!!!! We also have the usual iPads, iPhones, I inherit all my Apple stuff from my son. I even have an Apple watch, (only wear as a dress watch) but still not an Apple lover.

I didn't write about the one day saga with the latest failure, but I have a flash programmer arriving from Amazon today to reprogram the BIOS!! I also accidentally snapped one of the legs on the CMOS battery holder trying to change the battery :ROFLMAO:. Fat fingers and not so able to do...

Thanks, Until recently, I still had every PC i ever built or owned and all my kids machines as well. Right from the first PC, a Tandon 286. It was like a museum of computing in my loft. I decided to chuck nearly everything. It went to recycling at the local dump, but I kept all the hard disks...

Thanks, I just have never been an apple guy. They look beautiful, work very well but I get very frustrated by a lot of the Apple constraints. I like to be able to get into the innards of a PC. I couldn't change the hard drive on the Aple Mac if it failed. My wife has an Apple desktop which was...

Most of the time, I could get away with a lower spec machine now, but I do edit large videos and sometimes manipulate large images of gigabit size. Most of my scanned archive pictures are around 100-200Mb. I've worked with this PC for years, so it has to be equivalent performance or better. I...

I need to get a new PC, but I don't think I can be bothered building my own. Anyone had experience of any of the box builders such as PC Specialist, Cyberpower or Mesh?. Would be similar spec to the one I have, i7, 16Gb, couple of Gb graphics card 512Gb SSD

I've had my DeWalt twin pack for a few years, but the brush version. They have been very reliable. I have dropped them, I sometimes use the base as a soft hammer. I am still using the original 2Ah batteries, they still hold their charge well. I use them daily. The impact driver is excellent...

fibreboard perhaps??

I had the same problem doing axle holes for my toys. I went down the Pillar drill route. I like being to set up everything, then lock in place before drilling. It takes a bit longer, but reduces the chance of me messing things up. I do that a lot!!

That is a very impressive blade, like cutting and sanding in one operation, but too many limitations on it's use for the type of DIY stuff I do and way outside my price range. It's an industrial quality blade. I can see it being very useful for professionals cutting a lot of MDF and ply where...

What I meant was, I would never harm a lady no matter which bits they have :)

If you haven't already and you are still stuck, it might be worth asking lathes.co.uk. Is that the belt or a power cord in the picture, it looks round? Is this a different company? good luck

Thanks. I've ordered 8, they should be here tomorrow!!:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: I'm back to my daily search for an old thicknesser locally, but that's almost a year I have been searching, but!!! you never know what tomorrow may bring! The 735 is available on Amazon UK, imported from the US, but...

Geez!!! I have that problem as well. Think it's an age thing!!!

But she is a lady!!

These models are just beautiful. The combination of wood and metal, the attention to detail, the lines of the aircraft and the quality of the finish is just spectacular!!!

These are great chucks. If the scrolling action is OK as you move the jaws, then there's a good chance its in OK condition. as J-G says, you can use this chuck to turn wood. I now turn wood on my metal lathe and it works very well. Much better precision than with the wood lathe, but just for...

You got it!! pokitnew Yes, a total scam,
