At the risk of hijacking this I was looking for a recommendation for a compressor so didn’t want to duplicate the post. I looked at Axminster but they were 300-400. When I spoke with them they said because they are quiet and maintenance free. I was wondering how much of a faff draining and...

Have now pmd (I think) to say I would like to buy if it is single phase which I think it is.....

Having trouble with pm but would like it if single phase

Is this single phase or 3 phase? If single I’m interested will pm

Thanks, not under warranty- bought second hand and I would guess about nine years old. I will check the wheel

There is a knocking noise coming from the bottom wheel of the BS500 when it is running. When you turn the wheel by hand you can hear it slightly but it is much louder when running. There seems to be some ‘Give’ in the bottom wheel so when you turn it by hand it moves forward as it should but...

Thanks RP sent one straight away by email. Appreciate your kind offer though.

Thanks for the advice, I rand RP this morning - they were really helpful and emailed one whilst I was on the phone. Great service.

This has just been delivered this morning - bit of a beast to move. As I'm starting the workshop from scratch again (after a few years gap) I'm buying machinery in stages. Now just hoping Record still have the manual for a BS500 as it's not in the back catalogue on their manual page...

Ha! Yes the only sign of leaves was the ivy growing up it.....

Thanks all, unfortunately the tree has had no leaves on since we moved in as it was cramped between two other trees and dying off. All comments appreciated. It produced no fruit etc and we never saw it with leaves.

Hi, so far i’ve had people suggest cherry, apple, walnut and someone else has said magnolia. If anyone knows would appreciate a definitive. Thanks to all though, appreciated

That’s what I was hoping but someone has mentioned cherry which threw me !

Yes that’s right

Could anyone recommend which end grain sealer to use when sawing logs into boards, please? Would any generic one such as the ones for decking boards do? Thanks

I'll try again.....I think this is fruitwood? Small green acorn shaped fruit.

We just had two smallish trees chopped down which were blocking light to the cottage and a cherry tree we quite like. I think one is fruitwood - it had small green fruit acorn shaped (without the bottom bit). The other with teh darker centre I'm less clear as to what it was. It look like it...

I have now tracked down a Kity 637 manual in PDF format. Happy to share with anyone who needs one

Thanks I don't know much about Startrite so will have to read up on them. I've usually stuck to Axminster and Kity but just restarting workshop after a few years and having to buy everything again is a pain!

Thanks for the pointers. I will give the Kity 419 a miss - wondering whether I need to up my budget and go for the Axminster Trade Series AW10BSB2. I will have a think whilst watching to see if anything comes up for sale on here. Many thanks
