    Axminster AC370l lathe has too many issues

    Sorry to hear you have problems. I have the previous version called AWVSL1000 and I also have one of the bigger Trade lathes hence the reason for selling it. My experience is that some of the issues you have are not normal. The rest should not have sharp edges but you should expect the black...

    I advertised the woodturning tools and bench grinder separately. They are both SOLD. The lathe is probably the best but and it’s still available.

    Spinning Through the Wood Pile

    Any tips for when cherry has light/dark variations e.g. I have it on segments that also happen to be rotated so light section is higher then lower going around? I want to tone it down.

    Cheap Vs expensive drill press - real world difference

    Bench drills are pretty simple products. Entry level machines have limited travel of quill, may not have a big clearance and height to be useful. Power isn’t a problem and almost all will have an induction motor. Cheaper ones don’t have low speeds which are essential and easily overlooked or...

    What chuck to get

    +1 for buying RP SC4. Buying the Axminster SK100 chuck will give you access to lots of compatible jaw accessories, however the Record Power SC4 is a better choice because you can change the insert at a later date e.g. to get M33 x 3.5 - in this way your first chuck won't be obsolete when you...

    Unexpected windfall

    From your two choices - either will be a good choice: 1. Axminster Craft AC305WL 2. Axminster Craft AC355WL I would caution against buying the Axminster SK100 chuck with the AC305WL. The Record Power SC4 is a better choice because you can change the insert at a later date e.g. to get M33 x 3.5...

    HOWTO use big screws into end-grain?

    You are right about the legs. The dimensions of the legs are 100x40mm for the two stretchers and 80x40mm for the top/bottom rails and legs. Here’s a picture to illustrate the “problem”, the total weight may be 95kg but 3/4 of this is in the worktop: https://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-p ...

    The New Ferrex Bandsaw Aldi

    Sheppach has different band length and cutting height- so not the same. Previous Aldi BS had Sheppach instructions/support.

    Wood screws- type and where to buy?

    Big box of 1200 Pozidrive screws (in a plastic box) and (now) new box when I run out e.g. most popular noes are replaced with a box of 200 - usually from Screwfix. I noticed that all the screws in the bog box use Pozidrive #2 - so I bought a decent long #2 bit for my impact driver - lasts...

    SOLD: Axminster HSS Woodturning Tools & RP 8" Bench Grinder

    Hi Deadeye, I've sent you a PM with links to the videos. Not shown is a 3/4" plywood board that "lifts" the Bench Grinder so that the jigs are at the "correct height" for the size of wheel. There are two options for use: A) Mount RP Bench Grinder and jigs on a workbench (static solution) B)...

    Christmas craft fair ideas?

    Is it really "oblique"? The IKEA one has a slot setback at 15 degrees and there are two slots 10mm and 13mm wide to allow for an iPhone/iPad/Other with/without a case.

    HOWTO use big screws into end-grain?

    Thanks everyone for the comments. I have implemented the LHS solution (see above). The workbench was replaced under warranty by Axminster so I already know that the glued double dowel joint is not effective at preventing racking and ultimately for these type of joints to have already failed on...

    For a Mac-ophile, are there any real advantages of an iPhone

    I have an Apple iPhone 6s Plus an iMac and iPad, I don't have an Apple Watch. I just bought it without a contract. There is some integration (I don't have an Android phone so I can't compare). So sharing files can be done without needing to store them with Dropbox etc. using Airdrop to make...

    Christmas craft fair ideas?

    IKEA think so, they have a BERGENES stand. It costs £2 and is made of laminated bamboo which they claim is from a sustainable source. https://www.ikea.com/PIAimages/0730164_ ... JPG?f=xxxl The product comes shrink wrapped and has four felt-like brown pads on the holding surfaces. The dimension...
