    1st fix nail gun

    Thank you...will a battery only which I would prefer give the 'clout' I occasionally need for 3" + nails. But would the battery die a total death on me with my limited use. I would consider a UK mains operated nailer if such was available. I realise I am being a PIA to a lot of helpful people on...

". I have 20yr old...

    1st fix nail gun

    Thank you ptturner & Lons I wish I could find a battery nail gun about the price you quoted. Are my thoughts on nail length of 3" or so (75mm) suitable for a roofing job I am considering (my 12m x 8m garage/workshop). Also, I will be building a small shed for garden tools later this year...

    Used lathes

    I have set mine up about 4-6" on blocks; I am about 6' and it is an ideal height for me. It is very solid and stable. I have not yet tried to increase the height over the bed and would welcome an example of how to do so. I am also infrequently changing speed by use of the belt and pulley.

    Used lathes
