Thak you all very much for your reply's lads, So I've got to go Digital on good advice. I've been looking around for a while and "Drives Direct and JFK" seems to be the one's that predominantly keeps showing up, with DD being way more expensive. I'd require it to run #2 machines as stated, and I...

On those figures that would be around 1.4 hectares PP what proportion of this figure have you deducted for desert. when you take into account that desert land covers 1/3 of the planets surface, then your garden has just got a whole lot smaller. In 2011 50% of habitable land was used solely for...

Hi Sideways I have been looking at all options open to me at this time, I have #2 x 3ph machines at the moment, and will possibly be adding a 3rd. I have been leaning towards the "rotary phase converter" this could be 5.5kw wired from a dedicated 32A MCB which is about max I believe for the 32a...

Truly a master off your craft Nigel, and what a statement It makes of the skills you possess. The time you must put in to achieve a standard of work off this calibre is awe-inspiring. I am in awe. Rob

Good evening all Sandyn apologies for not posting these pic's sooner, as I was busy on an AGS 10 restoration recently, and with little room for moving stuff around the shop in order to pull the planer out, I thought I'd leave it till later. Anyway here's some pic's and maybe someone here could...

It's all theory, nothing concrete. Until such things are proven as fact, then the giant teapot in the sky is as good as any theory. unacknowledged documentary

Hi K Hard to make out the print on the diagram, it's #86 3/8" whit x 11/2" grub screw and #94 3/8" whit lock nut, there should be 2 off each, however I only have the one. see photo, they are unique as in only being 2 off on the saw. In your picture, It looks like there's one just/right behind...

Hi KingAether Would you happen to have this nut and bolt that I could have, It's the cant rack setting bolt. I'd describe it as a grub screw with looking nut I haven't measured it, though I'd say M10 40 maybe 50mm long If you have 2, I'd take both Cheers mate
