check ebay and facebook for collextion only as most used wont post (would cost ££'s), it may take a while but sometime one will crop up in your pricerange with tools and other odds (like with me). also dont forget things like dustmask, facemask (a fullface from screwfix is cheap and better than...

Hi all, back after a long asbence (not been in jail, just a manic 2019!) I have finally bought an emergency stop button (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07JGX7HM6/ ... 11_TE_item) and an extention lead (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B078Y4JNXP/ ... 11_TE_item) so i can have some sort of shutdown...

Hi All, got one of them ebay jigs (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132436418665) to go with my Axi grinder (http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-ho ... der-505194). now i need to get a dresser to flatten it, but is there any EASY guide to how to set these up, and also how to know when the tools are...

Got one for xmas so just need to work out how to set it up, aleady running out of space!

I replaced the bearings on my record power lathe (coronet 0 i think it is) and got them from www.bearingsrus.co.uk. Also worth buying a new drive belt whilst you are there are well, the place above sells them. think it came to around £15 for 2 bearings and the belt. I bought these so...

Sorry for the Thread resurrection! Did you ever buy these ebay items and worth it? £35 they appear to be now...

all ordered. emailed them and they rang to get payment so they could add the belt, saves another P&P charge. came out at £14.10 all in, 2 SKF bearings and whatever the belt is. Annoying, as the bearing only seemed to go noisy after a catch on the chuck, but when they were both removed they...

Looks like poly v 180 U4. So the 4 is the rib number, not sure what the u is. Also seems to be 17" long but online the 180 is the eighteen inch. Confused now!

Ordered from there, was going to use amazon but always suspicious about quality control of some items, but £7.10 delivered, just need to find a belt now!

having a play with the lathe (Record Power 0 ) and had a catch then a noisy bearing started soon after. managed to get the drive shaft and bearings out (after there were 2 screw to remove with the allen key, came out easily then!) the big bearing that appears to have failed is the big one (NIN...

I need to get some high grit to make my lathe creations super smooth, so wondering if there are any sources that people like that work well and are cheaper than high st stores. I had some from B&Q, JCB branded sanding mesh, worked really well but costs a small fortune, so anything similar...

Hi all, bit of a break since my last post, a slight reorganisation in work in july means i now am back in uni and doing teacher training so less time than before (was a work from home IT consultant), and the lathe has not been touched, mainly as the tools need sharpening after a couple of...

the lidl one are 3m x 3m as most seem to be. and just shy of 100 Sq foot.

how about the lidl ones? £60, go up really well and have matching sides IIRC as well. i have 2 and been up for 3 parties and are good. can be put up on your own but can be a PITA but most are, if you can anchor one corner it will be easier. i think they are due in lidl in the next couple of...

any more shots of the bird houses and how big are they?

mine turned up in a few days when i bought one, postage cost more! really need to re-read it, but its a good book and well worth the pennies it will cost!

read here lots! but record power and 'coronet' are some brands that crop up on ebay and elsewhere, they may be older but built like tanks so will be fine. When looking consider what you need and your budget, whilst some may come with limited tools and wood you may need sharpening equipment...

ok, i have just found some wood and shimmed the rear up. now it seems to be spot on now, but checking the headstock spur that seems to 'run out' hence the confusion, but that is the centre pin so probably all ok for my needs, and i put the johnson chuck in there and checked and it is hitting...

no i didn't test the level TBH. just checked and it was almost level on the bars but the centre was out, but putting a shim in it makes it level now, but the bars are now quite obviously not level to the worktop, and on the spirit level the bars are touching the 2nd ring. anyhow will take a...

the smaller tools are going into the 'special' place for tools that have no use. and yes I beleive i got a decent deal for £100 : Nova Chuck, Drill thingy for the tail stock, some blanks for pens (i think, seem quite thin though), pen mandrel, some calipers and micrometers, some (5) pewter...
