And why is that ?

Perhaps it's a hobby that one grows into with the years.

It requires a lot of spare time and is relatively expensive.

The only real result being of personal satisfaction, in the creation

of something.

I think there are young people who are genuinely interested, just

not as many as there once was. Other interests have also

appeared on the scene, which simply didn't exist before.

That's a very pertinent point you make Andy.

Maybe we're a dying breed

Similar to wheelwrights and bodgers

Me too

Hello Philip,

Can't help with your query, but at least you're bumped back up.

I'm sure someone will be along shortly who can answer.

Daniel

Thank's for clarifying that

At the risk of reappearing as a complete idiot,

what is a 10 x 20 lathe ?

TIA,

Daniel

Well ...

Thank you Micheal and Brian for the links.

Does it help ? Not sure and still digesting.

For all practical purposes it would seem that the terms are largely interchangeable, but Brian's link casts a serious doubt. There would appear to be quite succinct differences in their definitions.

Not intending to troll, but I love these subtle differences in our vocabulary.

Forum lurker ???

No ... Never

Do they exist here ?

Thank you all for the input, which demands some digestion.

It's the old hole /pit question all over.

Cooking children's dinner at the mo', but will digest.

Thank you all

Perhaps a semantic question, but could anyone elucidate as to the difference between a chamfer and a bevel ?

It's probably not important, but has been bothering me of late.

Happy New Year everyone

I've only got five collets.

Meilleurs Voeux.

Offering help in return for payment is the foundation block of commercial enterprise.

Trying to see that differently to what it is, is a total delusion.

I recently bought an 8oz bottle of red marking fluid from RDG.

Works brilliantly and was around £16.

They also have a blue version.

Hello Otley,

I bought Warco's GH1322 a couple of years ago.

I must say that I'm generally very happy with it.

There's no secret that these machines are made to a price; that's how the likes of me can afford one.

Yes, it has a few little bemoans, but nothing that impedes it from performing as was promised.

Can't have a Rolls for the price of a Mini, but that doesn't stop the Mini from performing well and being very popular.

I have an offcut of polished granite, from the

undertaker's scrap heap. It's far more accurate than me.

It was free and can easily be replaced if necessary

Best, Daniel

I think Facom are quite good; but, will always come a poor second to Snap-On.

That is however an opinion, not a fact.

Happy New Year

Daniel
