Beeswax or microcrystalline.

At the lower end, I bought a Lumberjack track saw recently and am happy with it. It doesn't have some of the faults Peter wrote about in the ones he reviewed. I don't do a great amount of sheet goods work, mainly for breaking down big sheets on the front drive before carting them into the...

Looks a nice bit of iron.

Paramo also for vices

I'm sure any iPhone 6 or later will see the watch and vice versa. Can't answer your SIM queries, sorry, as I don't have it on my watch (though I can still answer calls on my watch if the phone is in range). Oh the other neat thing is that navigation instructions from Apple Maps repeat on the...

AES, It's quite easy on my robust Boley lathes. The motion is side to side rather than angular, but I don't think this part is a big deal. What I do when I have a lathe properly set up is to put centres in headstock and tailstock and adjust till these are accurately touching. Before this, one...

Ooops I hadn't noticed that the adjustment was on the headstock, for tapers as said it is usually on the tailstock. Is there one on the tailstock too? What does the headstock adjustment actually do? Does it translate the whole headstock assembly over, or is the back pinned and the adjustment...

The SE might suit her well. Mine doesn't have the blood oxygen. The ECG is useful as I had engine and an angioplasty last year, so I check it now and then, but it is nothing like a full ECG. I don't have the cellular version and have never missed it.

No, you have to have the turning tool at the same feed position at each and check that the diameters turned are the same. And you can't keep the tool at the same feed unless you turn all the way along the bar. (though you could turn down the middle part of the bar, then you could do the test...

I love it. I had a series 3 at first then after some heart trouble I got a 4 (for the ECG function, primitive but useful) and gave the 3 to my son. I've had them about 18 months now and the experience has been good. The only thing to note so far is that you should not be tempted to use the...

For taper turning you do turn between centres but displace the tailstock. You should find out what the calibration means on your tailstock. You can do a taper with the top slide set at the desired angle, but only a short one, the length of the slide. With an offset tailstock you can do one the...

Very nice work on this, beech.

The motor needs to be 1-2 HP and a contractor saw would work fine, though unless they are induction motors they would be noisy. I bought a TEC 1 HP 2880 rpm motor. You need to sort the pulleys out so the speed is about 4000 rpm. Have you got the manual? It's available online if you search. I...

The inca 259 will have right hand bits. I have the saw and mortice chuck but not the morticer. If you stand in front of the saw about to make a cut the blade is rotating towards you of course. The chuck is on the right, so is rotating the same sense as an ordinary drill press. If you are only...

Lovely job.

I was astonished when I gt my BEV (Leaf) how many different cable types and charging networks there are. Yes it does need a bit of thought and planning at the moment but it is manageable, and I am sure they will steadily merge by market forces, as Terry suggests. And wireless charging does...

I had my first Pfizer vaccine a couple of days ago (over 80 priority group). Very well organised, well distanced and painless. No waiting outside, short wait inside. No reaction at all for me, minor aches for my wife, same as we experience for the flu ***. I feel very strongly that anyone who...

Re the guards - I'd recommend polycarbonate rather than perspex as it is much tougher and unlikely to shatter if something hits it at high speed.

One doesn't often see warnings not to use circular or near-circular workpieces in the chop saw. But these must really be clamped down, Unfortunately a suitable clamp (pushing into the V of the fence and the table) isn't usually provided.

Similar experiences re my Leaf, though haven't done many miles yet because of lockdown. I found LV a very good insurance company and they understand EVs. The insurance covers a tow to the nearest charging point if you run out! And costs half of what my old Merc 200 estate cost with a...
