I have recently bought a used machine & got great advice from Hemsby: eb-hc260m-planer-thicknesser-set-up-manual-request-t93557.html Once I got the dial indicator & holding tool (expensive but very well made) I found I had a greater difference than you have so I shimmed the drive side of the...

I made one for myself last month & used these on the top edge so I could easily take the lids (?), flaps (?) off completely as I had no way of keeping them lifted up high enough.. (the plants need very gradual acclimatisation so taking the lids off is the last stage before they go outside)...

Result !...why can't all suppliers be that helpful ?. Where did you go for a pulley ? (& as for my suggestions for your old motor I was being REALLY thick there... the pcb inverts the AC voltage to DC.. dehr.. so plugging it in wouldn't have been fun for you. That's embarrassing).

I was upgrading an ML4 with pulleys... I got a new motor as I was looking to buy some type of speed controller & they were cheap & made more sense having a 3ph one.. just annoyed I got it on a whim when collecting the inverter instead of thinking more about it & getting the 4 pole model. Your...

Hello Coley, Have you tried replacing the brushes or running the motor separate from the pcb to diagnose the fault ? If you want to upgrade your lathe I would recommend https://inverterdrive.com/ I just replaced my 70yr old motor like for like without thinking (3/4 HP, 2pole ?) as I wanted...

No need to apologise Phil, no offence was taken. We must be quite similar in that respect.. perhaps a life in catering has this affect. Off Topic - sorry OP. I just found this though re: Uni study on chopping boards (as what you said about glass & stainless steel really surprised me). " We...

Ah, I misunderstood you Phil.

Erm.. that is not true. It is mandatory in catering to have colour coded boards for different food groups to help prevent cross contamination. They also should be replaced once badly scored. If you put cooked meat on top of raw meat juice then the surface you are using won't make that cooked...

It's the same in the catering industry.. those who comply with the Environmental Health Officer will get more stringent demands made of them about date labelling & temperature record keeping etc.. but the f&^%r down the road who has poorly & dangerously cobbled together a gas chargrill, has had...

Done. Thanks for bringing it my attention.

My 1st visit went a bit like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSINO6MKtco ..needless to say I have never darkened their door again although they are very local to me.

How about blind wedged mortice & tennons ? You'll just need to cut slots in the tennons & make some wedges. If the joints are slack in the cheeks then pack them out with slivers. However they join teak outdoor furniture works. I know someone who has some from the early 80's that is still in...

I know exactly what you mean about posting pics of your work.. & of getting into something else. I sometimes wish I could say no. Perhaps ask on the metalwork forum for help. It isn't a big job (if I have done it then anyone with the machinery can). My lathe isn't set up yet & won't accept a...

Hi Chris.. do you know anyone with a metalwork lathe? If so it should take you 1/2 hr 45mins to turn down the lead screw & mount the handwheel yourself. Be careful, it might just take you down another path. Any photo's? Togs

If you have other portable appliances as part of your job/business then go on yell & find a local tester & get all of them done.. I am not sure that the grinder would put someone off by itself but only doing 1 appliance would not be economical to do. Electricians often don't deviate from the bog...

Hello SFP Pillar Drill - I have 1 of these http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-ho ... ill-505202 & like it a lot although it is not a convenient depth. Band saw - I have had 1 of these for yrs http://www.recordpower.co.uk/product/pr ... uiD4I_XL4g which has served me well up to a point (the...

Get it PAT (tested) if you want to be safe... after fitting a new flex & plug if they look dodgy. HTH

http://oxfordhardware.co.uk/refrigerati ... on-latches & other commercial catering & refrigeration hardware suppliers Also keep in mind http://www.albert-jagger.co.uk/products as they do some much cheaper but cool industrial hardware.

Yes, I am. A friend of mine was already going so thought it'd be a good day out .. (that was until I read what Marcos thought of it).

Thanks very much Gents, I can now go back into the metal shop with some confidence. Not looking clueless will be very nice. I hadn't thought about getting hex section.. or engineering plastics. Hopefully I will be posting pics of my new metalwork area complete with slightly upgraded ML4 very...
