What is switch cleaner?

Yes, I did mean the circuit breaker. Sorry.

Hello all, I am experiencing a problem with my band saw and could do with some help/pointers. It is a Startrite 351, you know, on of the old green ones. Last year I replaced the original broken NVR switch with a Schurter ABDWF150C0 (In case that helps) Earlier this year the motor stopped working...

What's your budget?

I fancy a bandsaw upgrade. I currently have an old startrite 351, but recently I've been finding its capacity lacking, so I'm looking for something bigger and well, better. If I can sell my old one, I think my budget will be about £1500 which I reckon will put into my reach machines such as...

Hello all, I'm not sure if this is in the right section, so feel free to move it mods. I have designed and intent to build my own bowl lathe. I have drawn it up, got all the metal parts together, have a friend who is an engineer lined up to help me with any milling etc that might be needed, but...

Here are some photos. Not the best, but its all I've got. Hope they are of some help.

They may have them, but I was quoted £85, which seemed a bit steep.

I've no idea, thats what I'm hoping someone could tell me.

Hello, The switch has failed on my old startrite 351, and I'm struggling to find a like for like replacement or a modern equivalent. I have asked the technical department at Axminster and they drew a blank, so now I turn to you guys. Does anyone out there know where I can get a suitable...

Thanks for the answers, especially for the link to a previous thread, I'll definitely give that a go. But as regards slowing the speed, I did kind of think (hope) that it might just be a case of adding a rotary speed controller, a little like this one: http://nchydrogardens.com/index.php?mai...

Hello all, I have a startrite 351, you know, one of the old green ones, and whilst I am very happy with it recently I have been thinking about 'pimping' it. Specifically I would like the blade to be bearing guided, but have been told that the axminster blade guide upgrade doesn't fit. Also (and...
