Each of the three jigs referenced above are broadly similar, but each has detail differences that would make them awkward and potentially unreliable in use. There's also the issue of quality of manufacturing which would make something that should be usable an absolute nightmare if there was a...

If you look closely this isn't the same item.

Possibly, there's a lot of good cheap Chinese kit available direct, but the payment page is insecure and not actually encrypted, so no thank you.

The Versachuck doesn't use tommy bars at all, so not a valid review. They're a decent chuck when used with OEM jaws, but right now are unavailable and have been for some months, so it might be a long wait to get one. Try looking at the Record SC4, a good chuck at a decent price, but also uses...

Contact Toolpost. They are having some new ones manufactured.

A dreadful upgrade that wastes far too much screen space on a normal computer display. So many issues it's difficult to know where to begin.

It may not. As a novice it may be better to get some tuition to resolve the issues you're having rather than spending money on kit that might be even harder to use. Catches are usually down to improper tool presentation, wrong choice of tool or blunt tools. The Hope 8mm carbide tool is probably...

Nor was I. That is the flat rate shipping charge in within the USA Woodcraft charge. Straight off the web site and currency conversion from XE.com today. Really ? not on the page you've linked to. So like for like without tax; US £614 + £71, in the UK £797 but with free shipping. Nowhere half...

No. Lets get the facts right. Wood craft charge $815.99 for that lathe which at todays exchange rate works out at £614.30 Shipping in the US is another $95 which would work out at £71.50 Neither of those prices include sales tax, so UK VAT adds 20% so £737.40 and shipping at £85.80. So if you...

Possible, I've never heard of the 17-37 before, but that might fit in with the different speed change cover on your lathe. The Avon doesn't have the buttons on the lid. You might have a pretty unique lathe there. 5 speeds would be a useful improvement on the Avon's four.... assuming the thinner...

I'm guessing you've just bought the Tyme Avon that recently sold on eBay. I've had an Avon for nearly thirty years now and keep an eye on those that sell on eBay and it's the first one I've seen with 5 speeds. I'd assume that this is one that's been modified at some time, rather than an...

Not for you to apologise, you and your mother didn't supply the false details. A trip to Bath is never a problem though ;-) No inaccuracies there, between this thread and the one on the AWGB forum all the detail are there and correct now. I'd give it a month or two, but eventually the posts on...

Yes, I've had it apart a couple of times now, I needed to take the motor off to transport it, but didn't take enough care to record where all the parts were before disassembly. That's assuming it was correctly assembled on my purchase. So I've found out. It seems it's still a somewhat chaotic...

Thanks for the reply Jestyn. Yes, it's the washer on the pivot shaft that puzzles me. It's odd that there's no illustration of it in the parts diagram, but it is mentioned in the instructions themselves. Although the written instructions aren't a model of clarity. The washer, or lack of it...

I've recently bought a secondhand Nova 3000, the original one NOT the DVR version. One issue with it is that it doesn't have a great distance between centres. Does anyone have a spare extension bed they no longer need and would be willing to sell ? I know that with some effort the newer DVR...

Check your facts. Both the SK100 & SK114 are available in 1 1/4" x 8tpi

I'd say that's a fair price for that particular sale on eBay. However you need to note two important aspects; Firstly, it's a newer model that might still just be under warranty and was in genuinely excellent condition from the photos. Secondly, the sale included a chuck and jaws which are worth...

It's simply factual and as he describes himself.

Really ? Phil.p & heimlaga against jacob ? A disabled retiree living in a deprived area at the fringe of the UK and someone living in a remote part of rural Finland who talks about the Mafia ? As opposed to someone working in the UK who actually travels around the UK, Europe and talks to people...

Obviously no absolute numbers as I don't think that data is ever collected. I've worked in hospitals, know people who work in the NHS and been a patient; Talk to them and ask them. They'll often tell you that they're here for the better opportunities to further their careers and return home...
