it might help if someone could put up an article on how to fine tune a bandsaw, I'm sure lots of us would find it interesting

wow excellent, now if someone were to come up with a set of coronet spindle moulding cutters for me it would be a double wow, hee hee. The moulder block is a multico, and none of my huge box of blades fit (all too thick). I am now toying with the idea of making a chisel with changable tips for...

Startrite is excellent build quality and the multi speed could possibly give you the range to cut Steel as well as wood. I'd love it. Generally speaking 3 wheel saws have smaller wheels than 2 wheel saws which can influence the blade breakage ratio. Some startrite machines come with a blade...

Whilst there are many who are word blind, dyslexic or what ever, and others like myself who has a brain that can spell but fingers that cannot as long as we all understand the intent of a post what does it actually matter. If I want my English corrected I'll go to an English class in the mean...

no idea what did happen to spelling/ GRAMMAR, ha ha regretfully such things are becoming more frequent as are the misuse of similar sounding words, Birth instead of berth in boat and motor home adds for instance if I see on advertised as 4 birth I usually ask the price of the little ones, hee hee

obviously something is loose, unbalanced, or bearings are worn, check belt tension, and motor mounts, as well as making sure everything that should be oiled is and pulley screws are tight. You say it is worse 5" away from the headstock end. That is pointing then to the tailstock bearing. Try it...

I assume all your customers are ladies, TBH I don't think they really need the carving, hee hee

overseas postage for Ebay items is just asking for a chargeback and total loss including expencive postal charges. Issue a chargeback withing the UK and I'l turn up on your doorstep, hee hee. the road systems and lack of transport to the northern reaches of Scotland can delay post arriving...

The lathe stand looks like an original Myford "M" Stand which (often found as a treadle lathe with the same stand but different tray)was the last of the Drummond lathes rebadged when the ministry of works ordered Myford to take over production for the war effort. The other bits look as though...

Glad you got sorted Looks like I have just bought a maroon Major as well. Pick it up on Friday will see what I'm missing then.,

I also suspect the fan cover on the end of the motor. sound as though you have now fixed the pully. adjust the fan cover and all should be well. If you feel you are being misunderstood try explaining another way, we all think differently.

ah just found the other listing with the price. pity but beyond my budget, good luck with the sale though.

looking real good

you cant it exceeds allowable height and because electrics are inolved will need building regs approval, unless I am very much mistaken.

Hi I'd also like a copy as well if possible. I tried to PM but don't seem to be doing something correctly as it tells me messages are sent but appear in outbox rather than sent, no idea how to send them from there. Thanks in advance.

no reason why a router cannot be used with the Arcoy, I have used a bosch on mine with excelent results, less tendancy to snatch like a drill due to the extra speed. I still use my arcoy and may even have a spare one someplace, must look it out and see. The advantage over cutting by hand is not...

so how does the Leigh jig compare to the old Arcoy dovetailer, is my arcoy obsolete now?
