No chance of repair. When the spindle came out it was badly scored and damaged and the bearings are shot. So they went in the bin. I’m going to take some pics and see if any takers on here. Think I’ll leave the turning alone. To stressful.

No worries thanks

Haha it looks like I’ve got 25 now.

Ok I’ll try and find them. I’m only on a phone and haven’t a clue what I’m doing. Many thanks

Thanks think that’s the way to go. Was new to turning. Now I’m having second thoughts. Stick to what I know lol

Can someone tell me how I find out how many posts I’ve made please

Sorry sure predictive text

Not sur if I’m up to 25 posts yet. But I’m thinking of selling all the bits instead. Gutted payed £300 yesterday for it

Hi well it happened. Try to remove the spindle from the headstock the headstock cracked and the bearings came out and well it’s now in the bin. Has anyone got a ml8 headstock in good working order for sale please. I’m very tempted to bin the rest and buy a new record power 250. But the ml8 came...

No it’s a link belt. Just wanted to clean every part and strip and repaint it as it’s not the best paint job. But I’m thinking of just living with it.

No it’s disengaged. I think I’ll clean and lube what I can. And not repaint. Thanks for your advice

Hi everyone. Just got a early myford ml8. The cream one. Stripping it down for restoration. One problem the spindle will not budge. I have removed the two grub screws in the belt cogs. And the to in the collet on the outboard side. No amount of persuasion with a glaziers mallet will shift it a...

Thanks Niall y. Took some of your advice. And it worked out a treat. For the base I used a bearing guided rebate bit set at 19mm high so I could use the same thickness wood to fit it.worked out the angles for the top and bottom rim and cut them in the table saw before routing the birdsmouths...

I recently bought the lumberjack jig. It uses guided bearing cutters. Very limited success and very poor quality machining. Wish I’d paid a bit more for a second hand Leigh or learnt to hand cut. But patience is not my strong point.

That’s true. But I don’t think it will take to long 🤣🤣🤣🤣 just wondering if the same rules apply to swaps rather than actual sales. As I’m a big fan of a bit of bartering??

Will do tyreman. Thanks

Ok thanks.

Hi just a quick question. I joined a week or two ago and I was wondering on the rules for selling surplus tools. How do I go about it please? Thanks in advance

Great thanks. I’ll give those a try. 12 sides next with a more severe taper. Well appreciated

Hi everyone. Can anyone help. Just trying out making tapered stave pots and bowls. How can I flatten the bottom and fit a bottom to it. It’s just dry fitted at the moment. It’s not mitred it’s birdsmouthed. Thanks for any advice.
