I had one of these until quite recently when I gifted it to my local tennis club to display on the wall. For an instant I thought it was mine as the initials are almost identical.

a) I'm no computer expert however here's my two penny worth. Windows 10 support is definitely ending. Microsoft state that after October 14th 2025 it will no longer provide free software updates. So if you want updates for security against breaches etc after that you will either have to change...

My elderly Metabo HC260 does produce snipe if I don't concentrate. It all depends upon how you feed your wood into and extract it from the thicknesser. If you hold the wood co-planer with the thicknesser bed then it doesn't cause a problem or at most very little. Hold it too low/high or let drop...

@The_Yellow_Ardvark Love the joke about the cat but .......... surely the British people have extremely mixed ancestry if you go back far enough: Saxons, Angles just to mention a few. Yes I know it's a JOKE THREAD so I'll get my hat.

I've just moved from a CEL Robox (bought in 2014) to a Bambu P1S a couple of months ago. Both machines were/are setup once and use and use. I just recalibrate occasionally, never had to fiddle with the settings. Brilliant. Bit more expensive than the cheaper models but worth every penny IMHO...

Oops! My mistake. I didn't look at it with my jeweller's microscope.

My first thought is that it's just a plain sealed bearing, no flange as others have suggested. Again it should have manufacturer's name and model number on it.

We've recently bought a couple from M&S for about £250 each. They were on offer with about £80 off each. They do have doors and are quite sturdy not like the flimsy carp from so many other shops.

Are you suggesting @woodlearner9810182 should start building The Great Wall of Wales twixt England and Wales? 🤣🤣

I agree: stunning. I can't begin to imagine how you start something like that let alone how you get to finish it without breaking. What technique do you use? Is it carved from solid?

Did they give you the drive back? If so you may be able to recover them from it. Years ago I had a drive fail. I took it into what I thought was a reputable local computer shop to recover my files. Two weeks later they said the drive was totally trashed. I had already installed Windows 95 (shows...

We started several years ago using plain old Gordon's but then stumbled upon Sainsburys gin advent calendar (they seem to have stopped them 😰). A miniature gin each day for 25 days. 🍾😂. Have liked Tanqueray, Sipsmiths and Ophir but after a trip around our 'local' distillery now plump for Silent...

My first thought if used for flood control how quickly do they swell up? Is it quickly enough to stop large amounts of water flooding past before they have swollen up to stop massive amounts of water?

The tattoos on their left arms differ.

You shouldn't talk about his MIL like that. Anyway she's a hippopotamus according to Reggy Perrin. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I know MILs can be sharper than a dagger but it's still a hippo! 🙃🤣

Blade width??????? Not that I know anything about it. 🤔🤔

Out of interest I rarely clean my bed (Bambu P1S) just make sure I only touch the bed by the edges. Just remove the bed and flex it to remove the model. If it needs encouragement use an old, clean credit card or similar. I used this technique with my previous Robox. It works a treat. Have fun...

I have a feeling based upon owning one many years ago coupled with a dodgy memory that one thread is right handed while the other is left handed. Looking at the photo sort of confirms this hence the two different diameters.

I'll have to remember this. I've recently been gifted a Drummond lathe on which there are several rusty parts. Where/how do you obtain the citric acid? Can you buy powder by the kilo or are you a lemon squeeze? 🤣🤣

Where are you? Are you here on UKW-orkshop or just away with the fairies? No disrespect intended.
