The love of my life, after my lathe....... :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

some good lathes on Facebook marketplace

pity. There are some people on here with a Drill-tru, they might be able to offer some advice. I have the Meddings MF 4/3, but never had to do anything to the quill.

here's a starter. Search for mushroom knob.... Sounds like an affliction! :ROFLMAO:

I found the multi purpose blade cuts wood OK when it's new, but if you cut much metal with it, the quality in wood deteriorates rapidly. I gave up cutting metal with multi purpose blade and have a normal TCT for cutting aluminium and wood. The multi purpose blades don't last long on steel. My...

Hi, Welcome to the Forum! perhaps some useful info. here, or here?

Ah!! the Jeremy Whine show!! To say it's Journalism at is worst is paying it a compliment! :giggle:

Fake news perhaps? It would only take a very small number of the correct HGV drivers to cause a problem with fuel delivery, then the media get involved and Jeremy Vine and panic buying starts making the problem look much worse than it might have been.

To carpet it properly, you would need a solid riser, but the carpet could be on the strip of MDF running behind the stairs. That might look OK.

There are two at Moffatt Field airport just outside San Jose Ca. They are HUGE!!

Oh.....I forgot about that!. My case is the same. I have to keep it closed with a piece of string, but I still think it was a really good buy.

It's good you got it sorted. Let us know which company you got it from. They deserve a bit of publicity for good service.

I have a couple of Halfords socket sets. One of them must be about 40 years old and still as good as when I got it. They are very good quality.

I would add a piece of translucent Perspex below/in front of each riser to close it off, then add LED lighting behind each step to create a feature. There are lots of options how it could be done, WiFi control, colours, whatever, then add the long strip of MDF

If you used an isolating transformer for power to the shed, you could have your own protection in the shed and not trip the house. Depends how much power you will need

Welcome to the forum +1 for checking the level of the out-feed table, also check all blades are at the same height and parallel to the cutter block. This ensures more consistent setting of the out-feed table relative to all blades across the blade width. I set my blade slightly above the...

These look fairly easy to make. are there any advantages to the different shapes? Some are quite angular, others have different radius curves.

Thanks for all the very useful information. I will initially try an ordinary TCT cutter, but a new sharp one. I can lower the speed of my router, but only to 8000 RPM. I have been using my mitre saw to cut some of the aluminium, (70mm tube, 5mm wall). Was a bit apprehensive at first, but it...

Looks like it has a fine adjustment on it. The knob on the end and the spring here is my one, from 1893, still used most days.( I didn't make it!)

For cleaning bores, You probably use this technique already, but I get a wood drill and some fairly coarse wire wool, wind it round the drill, while running it slowly then push it into the bore with some penetrating oil, WD40 or something like that. Run it in and out a few times to get any crud...
