I think that I would probably use a sanding sealer first then a paste wax or micricrystaline. The sealer will stop it being absorbed into the wood.

What is it made of and what is the issue with it currently?

Have a look in the for sale section. Ian was selling a couple of lathes and mentioned that he had some chucks etc to sell when the lathes had gone. He may well have some. I can't remember the username fhj........

I have the metabo and can't fault it for the price. It is the only one I have owned and used but I bought it on the strength of recommendations.

I would try Woodford tooling or appleby woodturning. It is handy to have a spare set so you are not without whilst they are sent for sharpening.

Do you have a link to tools warehouse?

hmmm. even google is struggling there!

you ultimately need a 2MT. That is either a chuck and an arbour to suit (with 2MT as the taper) or a complete one. Model Engineering and engineering tools online from RDG Tools Ltd Home Page (Engineering Tools) Tel 01422 885069 /884605 doesnt look bad. It is useful if it will go slightly...

It seems to be accepted by all that you always need more clamps. If you can get some and not break them, they will always have a use for them, even if you get better ones later that are your first choice for most jobs. Unfortunately if you need 4 clamps, you can't get away with telling the...

I suspect that you are looking at the wrong thing, and are instead looking at engineering chucks. There may be others but other than the versachuck, woodturning chucks generally don't have backplates but have inserts or are directly threaded. Have a look at record Ower, charnwood, Axminster and...

my guess is that your RP #0 is 3/4 16TPI and MT1. Getting a new lathe with this might be difficult- most are now either 1" x 8 (a few) or M33 (most)

@Nick Laguna UK fyi

Peter Millard did a video comparison on YouTube which is worth watching. I have the Festool ts55 which is fantastic but isnt the cheapest option and I dont know your budget. What I would suggest is that when you are buying, try to think what length of track you need, because often it is cheaper...

I would contact axi. they may not even want it returning given the cost of doing so but I would be reluctant to keep it, even so.

there is already a for sale and wanted board. the usual problem is that somebody in Kent has the offcuts and somebody in Edinburgh wants them. Postage is both expensive and a nuisance- even if somebody has a box, they still need to package it up, and arrange collection or drop it somewhere. To...

I wonder whether the manufacturer has ever actually bought a knew concepts saw to copy. My guess is that they are only using web images. I would be certain that they will never have use one to understand the design features. I would buy genuine or buy a vintage eclipse. I have the knew...

there was a post or two about making these- try searching for shaker boxes. post 4117 Post a photo of the last thing you made and a few past that

I presume that the spanner has a very specific use? Any idea what?

From what I have read, it is easier if it is on the bone because there is less exposed surface area which could escape the cure. If it is defined you have to take extra care to get the cure in the nooks and crannies
