Hi, do you have a link? Whereabouts is it? Here's hoping...

I had a similar dilemma recently whilst in a rush and ended up ripping treated C16 '3x2' yielding 70x23mm. It was easy enough to rounded over the cut edges if needed but actually better in most cases if I didn't. This did did leave an untreated face but I was retreating the project anyway.

Record Maxi 1 (1st model) is 1 1/4 x 8tpi MT2 both ends and 1" stem Later models are M33 X 3.5 tpi I believe

I think it depends a lot on the drawknife too. I have the flexcut drawknife and 2 older more traditional ones, one of which is big, wide and heavy. I find the flexcut good for fine, more precise work but pretty ineffective at removing lots of stock or keeping a straightish line over distance...

Hi, I'm planning to make a large garden chair, more of a throne really! It's for my elderly mum and I want it to be v stable and comfortably loaded with cushions. I plan to include a large tray which can be pulled/flipped into position to allow mum to do a bit of potting or have tea and cake...

This is bringing back lots of memories, +1 for Tiger Nuts, Barley Twist and Rhubarb & Custard 😃

Sherbet lemons, chocolate limes and pear drops 😊 Makes me smile thinking about how happy they could make me...

As Prof Chris said the antiques centres can be a good option to see plane's and lots of other tools before buying. I note that you are in North Yorkshire - Not a million miles away are GB Antiques in Lancaster and a Lords Salvage in Ingleton. They both have a couple of good tool sellers with a...

I'd recommended the Metabo SXE 450 as an option, within budget and more than capable of the worktop work. Had mine 3 years, never regretted it. Having scraped and sanded back the Osmo on my worktops I've gone for Danish Oil, yes you do need LOTS of coats to start and it does need topping up at...

Hi minilathe, Thanks for that - I think the ML7 is 1 1/8" X 12 tpi so not the same as the ML8 - Myford do sell a thread adaptor to use ML7 chucks on the ML8, but it's not my first choice as it will leave the chuck further away from the headstock.

Thus is one of mine, copied from a red plastic one that came with an Axminster saw. The recessed magnets help keep these to hand by sticking them to the side of my bandsaw and tablesaw. On the subject of softwood splintering (and splinters being thrown out) , I've not encountered this though...

Sammy, that's so kind of you to look that out - I much appreciate it and am, if course, very interested. I'll send you a pm to discuss. Thank you 😎 that's one of the things I love about this forum

Hi all, thanks for the advice + I can see the benefits of the independent jaw chuck but worry I might struggle initially. I like the combo you suggest Jelly - but as I indicated I was having difficulty finding anything for a while. Ideally in future I will have both the 3 jaw self centering and...

Hi Dick, thanks for the advice. I'm not thinking about serious metal work as such - after all I will be using a Myford ML8 - but I do hope to be able to turn small bits of decoration and components for my projects. I just thought a self centering chuck would be easier and familiar (like my...

Hi there, thanks yes I've seen that - it is an option but I already have several wood turning chucks. Was hoping for an older metalworking chuck but may end up going down that route or similar. Unfortunately Axminster don't support 1x12tpivbecause I have their chucks and could happily buy...

Hi, thanks for passing that in but no, its too big and not sure how mounted/threaded. Ta

Th That would be great thank you for looking 😎

Thanks I'll take a look

Hi, I'm looking for an engineering chuck to fit the inboard side of the Myford ML8 Ideally 4" self centering with both internal and external stepped jaws but 3 jaw and other sizes considered Heres hoping, thanks

I'm hoping for a bit of advice. I've been waiting for an engineering chuck for the ML8 to come around for sale for a while and not seen anything. Was thinking most likely a 4" self centering chuck with both internal and external stepped jaws. I'm hoping to get sorted soon. My research seems to...
