Ok Ian I have answers from Amazom I sent you a PM Check your forum inbox.

regards

Trying to get these delivered waiting for Amazon to phone me. Dont know when they will do that. Hopefully be soon

OK will try now.

Do you want all 4 packs ?

Do you not think that some of the comments by people on Steves earlier posts were personal ?. They were not deleted as far as I can see.

regards

As far as I could see there was nothing abusive about Steves comment. He mearly asked certain people not to comment as when they did it was usually negative, disparaging or rude.

regards

Seems strange that the same group of people that pick on Steve have deleted part of his comment. Censorship at its best

regards

I would not worry about a few rough comments Steve. It does not matter where, why or by whom it is made it will never be the correct way in some peoples eyes. You Tube and forums exist for the sole purpose of letting people moan about the way others work. Whether it be cleaning, painting, machining,woodworking, metal working, welding, spelling or grammar etc etc some smart alek always knows a better, quicker, safer or cheaper way to do it.

Have had bags for old cleaners from the company in V8Eng's link. No problems good servise.

There are many books on lathe use and endless YT videos. But a good place to start is "Know your lathe"

Here is a link to a copy for you. Know your lathe.

There is also The Amatuers Lathe by L H Spary which goes into more detail.

I have an old noname wood lathe made from folded sheet metal with internal braces. I use it very rarely but dont seem to get much vibration. Go for CI if you can though as it is supposedly better at damping than MS. As for cost it is entirely down to the size of your pockets.

Booked for wife & I for the Friday. Looking forward to it.

Hi. Is there a reason not to use a tap for the thread ? Just asking out of interest.

Best to start yor own thread on this subject. You will get more answers. BUT price depends on condition & features.

A lot more info will be required eg swing/between centres length/change gears available or is it even able to cut threads/ motor size etc etc.

When my wifes car broke down the AA came out and towed it to a garage as the fitter said he could not look for electronic faults on the roadside. A full AA check on a car costs £128 for AA members (£142 for non-members),

Hoi Karl. Stefan Gotteswinter shows how to sharpen carbide tips on his excellent YT channel.

Carbide sharpening. Well worth taking the time to watch.

Nor sure that I can give any real input on this. I suppose it will depend on how far you are moving. How attached are you to the machinery. Will the amount you get in sales cover the cost of replacement items and all that valuable "scrap". I am sure it will cost a lot more to replace than say move it from London to Glasgow.

Just saw this 3 day old BBC thread on model engines. Beeson model engine sale

Some big prices, who says there is no money about ?

I use a BT Hub5 in the loft as a repeater. Been working like that a few years now with no problems. It gives good coverage to all the upper floor. My cable router is on the ground floor and we have concrete floors between it and the upper floor. so a repeater is a must.
