Seems like it was a model that was sold under a few different names, see this thread

Id be keen! Will be making a trip past at some point in the next couple of weeks, and could bring my chainsaw. Ill send you a PM. Cheers

Wow what a bounty of information thanks all, sorry I’ve been too busy eating cheese to check for replies! Good to know there was some basis for my beliefs about holly, so my piece just wasn’t prepped right. Funny that being stored upright might be a thing! I have some field maple that came...

I have a piece in which id like to contrast some charred black with a very white white, ideally as plain as possible, turned into simple cylinders with rounded top ends, bottom ends set into the black stuff... its a sculptural thing. anyway, i was under the impression holly was very white but...

that looks like a very fun toy

heart melting stuff!

thanks bob, i do have a meter yes, so i check for continuity through the motor and if there isnt any its kaput? windings cant be repaired then...

Sorry to drag this back up but ive now embarked on some Xmas projects which would be great aided by having this running if i can... So ive replaced the switch, was magnetic and as you guessed it was just junked up and buzzy. And i got a new capacitor and tried that, silence... which leaves...

Thanks for your advice chaps, sorry i realise I sounded cavalier, do have some experience with electronics, enough to know how not to hurt myself at least. Will try these suggestions and hopefully will get it running in time for some Christmas present knife making projects. Thanks!

ive put sacks of planer shavings (maybe slightly different consistency but same same really) on freecycle and facebook marketplace before for free and people have taken them for mulch, compost, compost toilets, chickens and maybe other animal bedding... if you just want rid, might be worth it...

Cheers bob - will play with the connections, though if a motor is wired backwards does it not just run backwards? excuse my laymans understanding... ... which may also mean my rudimentary testing of the capacitor wasnt conclusive. However, no hum from the motor or capacitor, all completely...

Ive been given a ferm belt/disc sander, fairly hefty and well made thing so that was nice. however, its not working. The switch buzzes in the off position, but clicks on ok and tests with a voltage pen and multimeter indicate current getting through to the motor, the capacitor seeeems ok...

Ive used them too and they were great and very accomodating, we were in a barn in the middle of nowhere and it seemed to be a delivery bermuda triangle but they made the effort

turns out they do exist.... https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/ ... 81075.html

I have had an idea :idea: Whether or not its a good one im not sure! Inspired by the fact thats its hedgerow season and theres much fermentation to be done, and the fact ive been playing with various three phase things and VFD inverters, and this thing i sawand loved the simplicity of, a few...

Inspirational, and very entertaining, thanks!

Just saw this series, seems like a really decent result for some ply and bits and pieces, guess its all in the finish. Definitely something i want to do one day soon! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1N1xrl7f9w

hmm ok, was planning to use stainless screws and epdm washers (with or without galvanised steel attached) to fix the ali sheets to the frame. guess if i give the holes in the ali clearance then therell be no contact, will just need to be sure ive got the holes well sealed. on another note...

Does that include stainless?

ok great thanks, i dont plan to live by the sea and i defintely dont plan on towing it if the roads are at risk of being salty and icy, sounds like if 1050 is good enough for industrial applications itll be fine, and they look exactly the same, so ill spend the money on a bandsaw!
