It must be regional, I have never seen it coppiced in Yorkshire or Lincolnshire although I don't doubt that it probably is somewhere.

you could either make it oversized and use it for a few months. you will then know how much you really use and could cut down the extrusions and rejoin. Or make one from timber as a prototype. It is only a frame/couple of runners with a non sagging sled that runs across it. a few lengths of...

By sheer chance, this flashed up on YouTube, and I came to look for this thread. TheTiddles has already recommended it! https://www.youtube.com/c/StavrosGakos/videos

Mine is the same. I can't remember the taper but it is only short and I think is probably a Jacobs taper. I cannot see how you would fit a mt1 adaptor, but if a machine shop was available it would probably have been easy enough to adapt the adaptor.

Each to their own, but assuming that the figure quoted above is ballpark (£650-850), what draws you to the graduate? I have seen various other lathes for a similar sum and one the big off puts for me on the graduate is the premium that the they seem to command (and a unusual but not unheard of...

I hadn't realised it was only £16. The reviews on here show that it seems to perform for its intended purpose.

vacuum chambers if they suddenly fail (eg lid cracking) make a big bang, or so I am told. A pressure vessel is a potential bomb. Personally I wouldn't risk making something unless it had already been pressure tested beyond the intended working pressure. Making something by changing the existing...

it depends what you want not for, but the disc on that looks too small to be much use, and the plastic components on it dont look like they will lock in place well.

doesn't look that hopeful.

Better returns than the stock market.

I would say that most Chinese stuff does seem to slip through. It is strange because I can almost guarantee that not a single US thing ever gets to me without a charge, and often they have been inspected too. Same with Australian items. They used to be a bit hit and miss, but the last couple...

The 2 will keep ok. The 1/4 maybe a lottery if you leave it a few months.

I am truly sorry to hear this news. My thoughts are with you all.

n no pic!

The other consideration is why? My experience if CLS is that it is just about good enough for its intended purpose of framing. I have used it for some basic benches and stands because it is readily available and fairly splinter free. It saves planing and thicknessing. If you are putting much...

thank you, that would be appreciated when you have the time.

Also Lawcris will not allow you to cut yourself in their carpark, even just a quick cut. if you need it to go in a car, they charge for cutting. They are usually reasonable with the charge though.

my feeling is that this wont work very well (aside from the views on resin projects). firstly, if you are doing it to stabilise, anything bigger than small turning blanks would be very expensive and probably too difficult to deal with - ie soaking under vacuum and baking. I dont think this was...

I always thought that it was a cigarette butt until now too.

They will. I buy the odd sheet of ply and MDF there from time to time.
