So then.... the bearings were 'troublesome' to refit, managed it though but for the 2 in the crossbar (as mentioned) took a long time to fit. all rebuilt and cleaned and still rattled like a bugger, but slightly smoother than before The rattle ended up being the knob at the back to tension...

Thanks all, i will look into the fish pump if my fix doesnt work. The fix being slathering some flexible adhesive/silicone all over it and the splits and leaving it to dry off. A quick test last night seems to show air is pushed out, but only time will tell and need to get the bearings fitted...

Thanks for looking, I expect there will be others that fit, and to be honest not asked axminster as it may be still in use nowadays! As for the bearings, all done. Found soem big coach bolts that were a similar size and a few whacks with the hammer loosened them. Roll on next week when the new...

Just thought i would share a tiny bit of info on these. I have a really old yellow CCFS scrollsaw, bought it years ago dirt cheap and was looking to buy a new saw, but the equivilent for sale today is around £120ish (seems to be the design of choice for entry level) so thought i would give it a...

FOR SALE : Record Power Model 0 Lathe Recently got a smaller lathe to fit the space so this is now surplus to requirements. New bearings and belt end of 2017 with not much use in between, everything operates great and is just too large for the space i had. 3 speeds (2000, 950 and 450)...

Hi all, i have a Nova Scroll Chuck, and looking for pen jaws to drill blanks. now there is the Nova 6034 that i believe fit, but wondering if there are any other makes that may fit this chuck? apparently all nova jaws fit all nova chucks, therefore any compatable with any nova chuck should...

Hi All, I will be looking soon for a mini lathe as my workshop/outhouse is a bit too small for my Record Power #0 , even if i did shorten the bars. Also cant seem to get it perfectly aligned (probably the worksurface TBH). so looking for a small lathe, preferably one that will do pens, small...

thanks. Looked around at several places and bought a pack from 'english woods', had 10% discount so was about £39 for a box of 10 mixed blanks. just need to re-do my ellisworth grind to remove the convex and will take a look. next issue will be what finish! or may just stick with danish oil...

Check ebay and set to 'local to you', it may take a while but lathes generally are collection only (size and weight) so set yourself a budget and have email alerts. facebook marketplace as well may be useful. But dont forget that you will need a dust mask and a decent full face mask as well as...

thanks, interesting and gives something for me to have a google about if it will be of any use and if so how to resharpen.

it resembles a 'conventional grind' as someone mentioned elsewhere and seems to be used to get a cut where the tool needs to be at a higher angle. Buggered if i can work out how to replicate as this one is wrong, but will youtube today and see if i can find a reasonable demo to try and...

All wired up (should the lights flicker when I press it?? Joke!), mounted next to the lathe screwed to the worktop. Works perfectly, it is a latched stop so works with my old non-nvr lathe and a lot nicer to use than trying to use the original switch when needing to switch the lathe off...

No sorry, no instructions, but it is quite simple once you see it.

Pics of the tool Hi all, reviving my wood turning again and after much deliberation i cannot find what this tool/grind is for, it is either a bowl or spindal gouge but the angle seems really wrong as it is swept forward almost. I had another gouge (spindle as quite narrow compared to his) that...

many thanks all, much appreciated, will take a look around the reccomendations .

hi all, need to get back into the woodturning, been a while and not really had any decent wood to practice with either. so do you know of anywhere that is reccomended that sells blanks that can be delivered (North west uk)? ideally nothing special or exotic as need to get my hand back in, so...

It looks like from the picture that it may latch but will check, as no point otherwise, and as you said without a NVR it will be useless.

The lathe doesnt have an NVR so will be looking to get one fitted (Record power lathe, model 0?) as just has a standard on/off switch, its my scrollsaw that has one. the switch/stop is just so i can get the power disconnected quickly, it isnt intended to be used as a on/off switch for regular...

the button is just to cut power when pressed, the lathe does have a NVR (i think it does anyhow, will check in a tic). i will double check all wires/etc and so if the button has both sets, so NO and NC then only the live should go via the NC, so when it is pressed it opens the circuit and...
