The box of strips from Axi' is not the best Rob, too stiff as you say. Their J Flex rolls are good quality, nice and flexible and consistent grit. Richard Findlay supplies one of the Rhino products and I find them the best for me personally, flexible, consistent grit and long lasting, he uses...

Yes, 60 grit is for rapid stock removal and rough shaping, if you want to fine tune mitres and such like I would probably be trying 180 or maybe even 240 ? I tend to use 120 as a good all round grit. Cheers, Paul

It might be useful to know also that the speed of rotation of the abrasive will be greatest at the outside edge of the disk and progressively slower towards the centre, and the difference is a bit more noticable on a larger disc such as the 12". Cheers, Paul

You may mean Rob (Woodbloke) rather than Rod (Harbo) ? Rod has just posted above yours ! Cheers, Paul

So sad to hear about Richard, he was a lovely guy Emma and always seemed full of enthusiasm and new ideas. We'll miss him. Best wishes, Paul

I use a strip of wood with notches cut into it on the table saw, and magnets glued into recesses underneath, and leave it on the lathe or control box within easy reach. Sanding strips are just placed into the notches running in ascending or decending grit size and replaced after use and the next...

Sounds like you're having fun Mark ! :) Look forwards to seeing some more pics ! Cheers, Paul

Lovely timber and curves, but don't look stable enough to be safe ? Cheers, Paul

What the guys said.... :) Cheers, Paul

Why a week ? Mine sometimes doesn't get used for a month or three and no discernible harm results ? :) Cheers, Paul

I did take the baffles out now that you've reminded me, and added drop handlebars :oops: :lol: :lol: :lol: Those Fizzies never stood a chance :D Cheers, Paul

Lacewood is generally London Plane I believe, cut (quarter sawn ?) to reveal the lace type visual effect of the grain. Not sure if that is what you are seeing though ? Cheers, Paul

I had an AP50 Rob, and it always started, and I'm pretty sure it got to 53mph downhill with a following wind 8) :lol: :lol: :lol: Cheers, Paul
