Hi Tam Yes I`m wondering now if Friday is the best day to go??. As I`m after a new lathe maybe Sunday would have been better if the dealers have had a slow time of it and want to shift some stuff :? . Its the only day I can go so we`ll see. Steve

Had a flyer sent from Record advertising `special show only prices` on opening it found most items same price they have been for months. Was hoping for a good deal on Friday but not too sure now. Steve

Hi folks, might be interesting to know which jig etc was used to achieve it?. Even more anorak I know but what the hell :lol: I`m pondering at the mo about getting one, maybe the Sorby universal ? seems useful. Tried making one like on the `Around the woods` web site but not too chuffed with...

Hi Andy I thought that was the point of `Open days` to attract new members. I wouldn`t want to be a member of a club like that anyway. One day they`ll need new members. :x Regards Steve

Hi Paul Yes the WivaMac 800 is one of the others :) Steve

Exactly the lathe (or one of them) I want to check out at Harrogate Simon, you`d recommend them then? Steve

Hi Tony Welcome to the forum. You can give this guy an email [email protected] he might be able to help. Not sure if they are freebies or how much they are but he should be able to advise you. Cheers Steve

Me too Tam. You would think stuff like lathes, bandsaws and more expensive things are not exactly walking out the dealers doors these days so maybe some good deals on the horizon?? maybe not. I am being optimistic about Harrogate but speaking to a dealer who went to the Midland show he was very...

Hi all Just been sent some bumf from Record named "Exclusive show only deals 2008" and guess what most of the stuff seems to be the same price as they have been for a month or two now ie 1624-44 deal 1 £799, deal 2 £999, DVR-XP `promo` package (?) £1799 its been that for a while in the mags so...

Pm sent Allen Steve

Hi Allen Any chance of some pics of the lathes at all please??. Was waiting for the Harrogate show but I might be tempted.... :lol: . Cheers Steve

Hi Loz I`ve made three segmented items up to now and think you might be struggling a wee bit without a table saw or band saw, maybe you might get away with a good disc sander which would give a nice crisp surface for the gluing up??. Even my new Ryobi table saw wasn`t accurate enough on its own...

Hi Alie Not sure about the belts for the Record lathes but looking for a belt for my old Draper found some suppliers had them for about a tenner until I checked out my local motor parts shop and found the exact same one for £1.99, might be worth a visit if you take the belt in with you. Cheers...

Welcome to the forum Max. Look forward to seeing more pictures. Regards Steve

Nice one Chris, pretty good on that little stuff arn`t you :wink: Steve

Hi all Having a look round for info on these chucks and came across this site might be of interest . http://carlford.info/assets/demos_class ... _demo.html Enjoy Steve

Hi again chaps The Sorby set up does look a decent piece of kit but I can`t help thinking it looks for all the world like a belt sander albeit a very well made belt sander but still a belt sander or am I completely wrong ?? Regards Steve

Hi Toby Arn`t the Tormek and Sorby set ups similar in price?. Not sure what the actual price for the Sorby set up is for wood turners, The Tormek seems to about £169 for the grinder plus another £135 for the woodturners kit, the Robert Sorby plus (?) about £300ish? Cheers Steve

Hi Steve Haven`t got a CL3 but don`t Record give a 5yr warranty or does that exclude the motor? Steve

Hi folks When you PM someone why does it stay in your outbox and not disappear straightaway please?. Is it because whoever you are PM`ing is not online? Cheers Steve
