I don't know what they are for, but very nicely made George.

Edit - I know better now I've watched this video

Start about 2 mins in.

Dave, take heart in the fact that Amazon won't put up with any buggering about.
Many hate Amazon but, if you want something NOW, they do deliver reliably in my experience. That's their forte - and anyone who can't perform isn't with them for long!

You could, but you would be an irresponsible trader and, hopefully, dealt with as such.

I find ebay a valuable resource - been in it from the start with 1500+ transactions. Altering algorithms etc. has so far only resulted in making it more difficult for genuine traders whilst trying to prevent others from being stupid.
I think anyone who bought a lathe unseen and then, still unseen, paid by bank transfer would be being amazingly stupid.
Leave ebay alone please.

Well said Gaviar - totally agree.

Dunoon - a good choice for him - I think you have to take a ferry from Greenock to get there. Unlikely anyone will come and view - unless in the mood for an adventure.
Meanwhile, I think, anyone who buys a lathe without seeing it, AND pays with cash by bank transfer before collecting would be trying hard to be screwed. I did say I THINK.

Don't think so - I keep giving them more money all the time to spend incompetently - then they complain it's the government's fault.

Such wisdom.

I think it is like many an on-line business - boasts it sells everything in the world, and a big disappointment if you go there. It was a very small portakabin used as an office with broken down buildings. We went hunting for the metal I wanted amongst this, one building having doves in the roof with the consequence of shite on the metal below. That said, I did get what I wanted and I think the on-line trade worked OK.
Maybe it has gone. Could he be taking advantage of small-business handouts from the chancellor? Sadly MK is in tier 4 now so, taking all things into account, credit card refund and going somewhere else looks best solution.

Mmm!! Swans are relatively harmless - normal beaks. Geese have beaks with a serrated edge and can give nasty bites. Take a stick with you? Look very good on the table though.

Aren't you making a mistake in trying to impress engineers by demonstrating you are just an admin person?

You don't need to give up - just don't buy it if you don't like it?

I think, in general and the vulnerable apart, those who want to do things are finding ways to do them. Those who can't be bothered are sitting with their thumbs up their bum making excuses and waiting for the government to tell them what to do.

There's not much leeway in level 3 but the current lockdown and proposed levels 1 and 2 allow for meetings outside. Enterprising ME clubs are using this and organising themselves within the rules to maintain their assets.

I think that's a sweeping generalisation

I'm surprised there isn't a willie-waver suggesting an Arduino controlled LED

Yes, I am David. I have a single speed 782 with vertical table. I use it more than 75% in the vertical position so Aldi does not really meet my needs. Changing modes is quick and easy. You can buy four Aldis for the same price though.

Nobody mentioned Netta yet.

0-8-0 - all the weight over the wheels, "pulls like ell!"

2 cylinder

Precious space in my local store taken up by 6 different sorts of water.

What's that all about?

People who don't know how to say the letter "aitch"

"Leave them alone and they will ....."

Be happy, Ian - hope it stays like it.

Just for clarity, you now have 2 circuit boards? The seller had bought a new one.

I use this method of producing circuit boards regularly, and use both DHL and China post. If I use DHL I can get a PCB in my hands 6 days after I send the Gerber files to China. China post varies, but 26days is typical.
I think this is an excellent service and excellent value for money and nothing in the UK gets anywhere near it.

This thread seems to be diverting into importing goods legislation.

My interpretation of Duncan's post was that he too finds this service good and had no problem with paying his dues.

I thought the real question was about whether DHL should impose an originally un-declared admin charge. I think the answer is no - but I expect it is buried in the Ts&Cs!

Neil, this is a multi-phase brushless motor with feedback. Are you sure that will work?
