Thanks for the suggestions. Here's a link to the Axminster bushes: https://www.axminstertools.com/axminster-evolution-series-wide-bush-for-cbn-wheel-5-8-bore-pair-106660

I have an 8" bench grinder with c.40mm of available shaft. The slimmest Axminster CBN wheel is 32mm. Their bushes for 5/8" shaft are too thick to fit (9mm flanges); can anyone advise if I can source 1.25" to 0.625" bushes, with a 3-4mm flange? (If I need to have a pair fabricated, can anyone...

Yes, it's definitely 25mm

Another +1 for 3M Peltor, so comfy I sometimes forget I'm wearing them. Considering getting something with bluetooth for radio, but not quite justified yet. I have a cheapo Katsu trim router that was transformed by fitting a genuine Makita collet; significantly less vibration and noise.

I've been using a Nexus 3 for a few years, and have also used it on someone's CL3. Both lathes have 3/4" 16tpi and I've used the Charnwood adaptor successfully (chuck is threaded as M33 3.5tpi). For the price it's fine. It's prone to corrosion, so needs cleaning and protecting. I made the...

I've recently bought and refurbished a Perform CCBL. I've noticed that the tool rest is positioned 25mm too low. I believe this is due to the banjo being one from a CCL (64mm vs 89mm) Axminster can get the part, but would be a 6 month wait. Any suggestions for making up the 25mm height...

Thanks, do you remember what size you used?

I'm cladding a timber frame workshop/garden room with 150mm feather edge. What screws would you recommend for fixing 25mm thick vertical battens onto 11mm osb and 4x2 studs?

This is the process I've recently followed on my EB HC260, made in 1989. There are some grub screws that can be adjusted to level the two tables (3mm allen key required I think). I used the cutter cylinder (not the blades) as a fixed reference point with a straight edge to take out any twist on...

Looks great. Morticing by hand?

I'm pleased with the 50L Hyundai 'super silent'; far from silent, but so much quieter than others I've used, which makes it far more tolerable when it kicks in. Makita 18G nailer is a pleasure to use, and has been faultless.

Hi Mark. Between Castle Cary and Sparkford.

Hello all I'm a new member, having been a lurker for a while. Looking forward to contributing and learning. I love using UK grown hardwoods to make objects of good form and function. Really enjoy the precision and process of working with hand tools, but not averse to using power when it just...
