Just come in from the kitchen after making two Victoria sponges for family who do not like Christmas cake. I somehow don't think they will last until Christmas day knowing them as they can not resist trying them and next thing is they have gone It did give me chance to play with my new mixer...

Can you not buy some piano wire of the correct diameter and wind your own spring

Not seeing the demo is there a link to it so that I can see exactly what you are talking about

The chucks you linked to not only do they look like they would break easily but would not hold anything accurately. And last but not least they are not suitable for woodturning as they are designed to hold metal so should be avoided at all cost. I would not even buy one of those for a metal...

I did miss the turning part but saw the end result and saw the piece where the join was had a chunk out of it

A screw chuck is a safe way to turn a piece of wood if used correctly the same as a chucking point in the jaws

Just to clarify here are some photos of the correct installation of the screw chuck in the Robert Sorby chuck. It is fitted with the jaws in place and the flats on the screw chuck are rotated so the flats line up with the carriers and stop the screw chuck from rotating and the jaws prevent the...

The idea of the groove around the screw is so that the inside of the jaws locates in there and prevents it from being forced/pulled out of the chuck it is a safety thing

The screw fits on the chuck with the jaws in place the slote around the thickest part is where the jaw inner plates fits into it. When fitting bring the jaws in to the slot and then rotate the screw and you will feel it settle into place then tighten the jaws fully. I have the Robert Sorby chuck...

Phew I thought I was going to have to dig out the gauges and dies Phil after I put them all away again. I will be glad when I get a larger workshop so everything is easy to get to :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

I had better go and double check my measurements Phil:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

All those that i posted of the snap on are for cutting threads I do have some of snap on thread repair nots which are as you said are different. It may be a design that you may not have seen before.

If you remove the cover to the belt change compartment there is a couples of flats on the shaft for a spanner then place a piece of wood in the chuck jaws to undo it

I have only posted this as information. The majority of dies have some sort of adjustment as they have a slit in them and the holder has three screws one fits into the taper where the slot is by tightening that you can slightly open the die the other two screws are also used in conjunction with...

No typo J-G here is two dies from a set and they definitely as stated and as you can see not from any cheapo type set either

Yes an 5mm and a pitch of 0.8 pretty much a standard size

Make sure that you have not pushed any rust and other rubbish into the bottom as that will also prevent the screw from going in fully

I have just checked mine with my taps and the screws that attach the jaws to the carriers are 5 X 0.8 metric threads. Make sure that you check the tap and dies as there is also a 5 X 0.9

Or try the chemist for smaller quantities as it is used in home brewing and drug making not that anyone here would go for the second option:D:D:D

Not had the mag for a while now since the lockdown as I use to get it from the newsagents.
