Hi Philly, What do you call a 'suitable grinding wheel'? Is it the white wheels that are on the expensive machines like the Tormek? Are there different grades? And can you change the wheels on grinders or do I have to buy another grinder? I only have a cheap one at the moment. Thanks Froggy

I'm really suprised that more of you are not advocating the use of sharpening stones. I was under the inpression (don't know why really) that most of you used either water or oil stones as your primary sharpening method!? May be a poll to see who uses which method as a primary method might be a...

Let me when you're bidding and I'll leave it alone :lol:

Hi Olly is that used for grinding a bevel, honing or both?

Thanks Sportique.

Harbo, By 'grindstone' do you mean a grinder with a white stone? Please excuse my ignorance :oops:

:shock: Wow are all Norwegian women so generous? You have a good point Henning, about the amount of time sharpening. Much as I enjoy the results of sharpening, the doing can be a bit tedious.

Hi Chaps, I'm going round in circles trying to decide which is the best and most economical way of sharpening my blades. I've recently learnt the 'scary sharp' method and I'm delighted with the results, but I have nothing to compare with. So I decided to buy some water stones, but when I saw the...

Thanks Mailee and John, There is a spindle at the back of the machine that seems to be attached by 4 bolts. I loosened them all and then tried to pull the wheel out and it never moved!! I thought about giving it a tap with a hammer :roll: but at this point I thought it was best to check with...

Thanks for that OJP - It's a Einhell 315 UG. The blade wheel is what I meant by Pulley wheel (that's how it's described in the manual) And it does have a circlip which I tried and failed to remove (with long nosed pliers). What is the tool and where can I get one? Does anyone know? I'm amazed...

Hi Wordworth, I'll step down on this one, it's a little more trouble than I can do with at the moment to get it over. Enjoy.

Hi chaps, the drive belt on my bandsaw has broken and I don't know how to get it off as it's behind the lower blade pulley. Do I have to take the lower blade pulley off and if so how? I have the manual and there are no instructions about changing the belt. I've emailed the manufacturer and had...

I think I must be on the slope myself, because at the moment I can't stop buying tools that I can't afford. And pictures like that don't help :roll: You're a bad man :twisted:

If I'm starting to understand the 'Slope' correctly....this is part of the 'Slope',right :?:

I can't understand why someone would pay 1100AUD (vesper) for a set of bevels when one at a tenner will do the same thing. It's not a criticism, I'm genuinely puzzled :?:

I'm almost ashamed to say I have an obscene amount of space that is wasted on me. I'm a complete beginner with a barn in 2 sections that measure 14m x 10m and 9m x 3m (you can double that because it's over 2 floors). Despite the space and the fact that, like most people starting out, I have a...

Thanks for thinking of us learners lord Nibbo. It may come as second nature for most of you guys, but thinks like that are great for folks like me!!

I cried laughing at this one, fantastic.

Thanks for the info guys, but I've come to an agreement with Dibs for a DW RAS. For a number of reasons it was an offer I couldn't refuse :wink: Froggy
