Another source of good shims are feeler gauges. Dirt cheap and available every where.

Nice one John. Waste not, want not is what I was always taught.

Now this is a good recycling project. Tool Chest I like it a lot.

I have had a Cutmax 125 for the last 4 years. It is an excellent saw. Cuts perfectly straight & true. It has cut everything from wood to stainless with no problems. I keep 2 blades one for ferrous and one for non ferrous I managed to get a demo model at a show for less than £200. They are quite expensive but well worth the money. Keep meaning to do a vertical mod but have never got around to it.

Looks like this may be another scam or Pirate in action. I have asked Webroot if this is genuine or not. By the look of the link :- webroot-safe.linkmyroku.com/ looks to be a home web server.  Section of text from website :- 

We do not have any affiliations from Webroot and any other company related to Antivirus.

Thanks Grindstone Cowboy. Now I can read it. That makes it easier for me to apply for the nice lump sum.

Better get an email off to Ms Reem asap.

Srange things happening here. The original post has overwritten Dave Halford & Ady1's post so cannot read them. Have refreshed the page & logged in & out but still the same. Anyone else with the same problem ?

Sorry cannot help with dimensions but there are a few interesting iterations of the Myford clutch on Youtube. How good or bad they are I dont know but hopefully be of some help.

Cut jaws to length/drill/countersink and fit to vice. Fit vise to mill table and the mill top and sides of jaws to suit. Make sure vise is parrallel to table with an indicator. Plenty of YT videos on the subject. Just do a search.

Hi Peter Welcome to the forum. Lots of info for you on the here. You can use the search facility or ask the question if you have no luck.

I bought some cheap VFD's and they have been fautless for several years. Dont forget the motor needs to be dual voltage ie 230/415 wired Delta to work properly on a VFD

Yet another scammer " How to activate MS Office" in the For Sale section. They are at it again.MS Office comes with its own activation system no need to buy one from another party. If a MOD can deal with this please.

I have also reported the scam to Microsoft so maybe they can get the website taken down.

Look up mrpete on Youtube. He had a series on rebuiling a SouthBend 9" gearbox which is almost identical to the Boxford one. It may be of help to you. Glad you found a Boxford to suit you they are excellent machines.

Thanks JasonB

Snap. I reported it a few weeks ago.

Beware the advert in "The For Sale" section for McaFee Antivirus. This is a scam and has been removed in the past. You can get the same program legally for much less money. Can a MOD please look at it again.

Dont forget power inverters exist as well ie 12vdc-230ac single phase.

I registered with my local metal scrap dealer. It was easy and free to do. As i save or collect all my metal scrap and take it in from family & friends I make a profit a couple of times a year when I weigh it in. Old motors,batteries, copper, brass & wire scrap is weighed seperately & adds to the value. They pay direct onto my Visa card or cheque if needed.

As pointed out by Clive, Espares seem to be one of the best suppliers of cooker parts. I have used them several times for cooker & fridge spares and they never failed me.
