Starting to understand it better now, thanks Chas

The adaptor I have bought, if turned down a few mm, WILL fit inside the chuck body. And if I cannot buy an off-the-shelf insert 1.1/4x8 male with 3/4x16female threads, I will be machining my own, on my Myford ML10. I might look at pipe fittings yet, as all I need is the 1.1/4x8 male thread and I...

Thanks for the link. I've phoned them but sadly they are the wrong way round, arghhhhhhhhhhh !! :evil: Thanks for trying Jon & thanks for your second link.

Having bought a K10 chuck with a 1.1/4"x8tpi thread, I have been driven mad by chasing about trying to buy an adaptor/insert to reduce 1.1/4"x8tpi thread to 3/4"x16tpi. I did buy this http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-th ... prod23491/ Ref T01, but it does not fit the K10 without machining...

So am I right in thinking:- If wood is green: seal the end grain If wood is nearly dry ( I guess less than 20% moisture) then seal side grain. Is there a golden rule to determine whether to seal end grain or side grain ? Cheers CHJ and to all who responded PS: Another cheap source of paint...

Anyone here tried old emulsion ? I got quite a bit left in garage, but not sure how it works on wet wood, and when & if the emulsion does dry does it prevent splitting etc I might try pva also, as I have quite a bit of that.( Cheers Duncan) I would love to hear who has tried what as I got a...

I recently picked up a few finishes etc from Rutlands when they had a 10% off sale & free p+p. I found it easier on my finances. Nice piece by the way, but I don't think the piccie does it justice. Thanks for sharing moby =D>

http://www.peterchild.co.uk/chucks/threads.htm Your lathe seems the same as "Woodfast, some Sorby, Killinger, Wabeco, Hapfo, Hager, Flott, Konig, Emco, Sheppach and most German lathes use this thread but please note the register size varies and specials may be required. 33mm x 3.5mm MC22"...

I think it's really good and neat. I think the finish looks good, but I can't get my head round the multitude of finishes. Thanks for sharing Gary =D>

Very nice, I just ordered some friction polish, so I now know what it looks like. Thanks for sharing stevenw1963

I've bought a few belts from http://www.bearingboys.co.uk/V___Wedge_Belts-1025-c. I think they are good on prices, and were fast posting. Good luck. PS. other links here in forum one-stop-reference-links-t67853.html

Cheers guys, not sure it's worth the hassle tbh. But ta for all your input

I hear through the grapevine that some goods are bought from Australia, so what's the tax position / legalised robbery take on this please ? :?: I am thinking of getting some stuff from Australia, free postage if ordering £40+. Does anyone know what extra costs are please. :?: Gonna be a...

Great video Chippygeoff, l learnt a lot from that. I love your blade tubes holder carousel, quite ingenious. Thanks for sharing

I need a handle for mine if you have one for sale. Cheers

I had the same problem as yourself and others on here, which chuck to buy? We are spoilt for choice these days. I was on the verge of buying the Nova G3 package when a K10 came up for sale which I jumped at. However I have had to buy jaws and 3/4" x 16tpi insert etc costing £53, (still in the...

Many thanks Mark. (What's HTH above your name please?) :roll:
