As Dave mentioned for the round one. You may need to unscrew a guard from the lower half of the disc to get easier access but I'm not familiar with that particular model. It can help to warm the disc and platter gently with a hot air gun or hairdryer first to soften the adhesive, but not...

Use a shallow recess or spigot, 4 to 5mm or thereabouts should suffice depending on size and balance of blank, size of jaws, rotation speed etc, or as Jacob suggests glue some scrap on and reverse turn after to shape the base. Cheers, Paul

Nice story and nice piece to :) Cheers, Paul

Likewise, me and the missus and the dog all love the open log fire and wouldn't be without it :) Cheers, Paul

Why don't you offer to pay for him to have a couple of grab trucks or skips to take it away, say five hundred quid or so should do it, then you'll both be happy ! Cheers, Paul

I think are just very small torx head screws ? Cheers, Paul

50mm x 780mm are the size for the sorby belts, don't think they will fit anything else except possibly small cheap hand held belt sanders but not sure about that. Cheers, Paul

What a waste of red wine Jon ! :) Cheers, Paul

Agree with all that, including the stockpile of the old ones ! Also worth checking on the price of the appropriate energy saving bulbs, haven't done so recently but they used to be expensive to buy which meant you didn't actually save anything anytime soon, possibly the opposite, although that...

It's really coming to life Steve, you're getting there ! :) Cheers, Paul

You're way too organised Chas :lol: I bash mine out with a punch and lump hammer (hammer) Might try cutting them square next time though as I have read that there is no need for them to be round in practice ? Cheers, Paul

If it turns out to not be the capacitor and you do need a new motor, have a look for Goldcrest Technology on ebay, Tont who owns it will give you advice on a suitable replacement motor at reasonable prices. I had a 3hp motor upgrade for my Startrite bandsaw from him a good few years ago now and...

Ask Ian, he'll likely know. Cheers, Paul

Saxton blades as linked to above are where I get mine from, for the reciprocating saw blades too. Cheers, Paul

Good, luck Ross, hope something works out for you. Cheers, Paul

Hi Roger, my own experience is that planning departments are generally pre-programmed to be negative, or at best non-committal, on anything except the most straightforward and simple matters, they will quote you all the applicable policies and guidelines and then interpret them as to why they...

More information may help with responses ? I'm not clear for example if you already have the shaving brush handles and need just the stands making in matching wood, or whether you want both making ? Do you have designs in mind for the stands or open to ideas ? Will you provide the wood or...

That won't achieve anything. Discussing with a couple of planning consultants will be of more use. Cheers, Paul

Worth googling for Planning Consultants in your area and having a chat with a couple in the first instance. Probably a slim to no chance of getting permission but context is everything, including the Local Development Plan areas designated for future development, adjacent development/precedents...

Would it be for a single dwelling or a larger development ? Cheers, Paul
