hi

i use these British General 16-Module 10-Way Populated High Integrity Dual RCD Consumer Unit | Domestic Consumer Units | Screwfix.com

split the heavy power draw machines to separate halves,and also split the lighting,so if you trip 1 rcd the other is still live with lights etc.if you do use one dont forget to split the neutrals to the corresponding side.

i would do a new rewire to the new consumer unit and when your ready,then run the cables to the old location,use one of these 30A 3-Terminal Heavy Duty Junction Box Black | Junction Boxes | Screwfix.com

ONLY CONNECT OLD TO NEW ON A DEAD SYSTEM

hope it is of some use

I phoned peter (Peatol) last week and ordered quite a bit of stuff, just waiting for it to arrive.

i phoned peter and he seemed very stressed out,he asked if i had sent him a list,i told him i had emailed him a list,he said his pc don't work so asked me if i had sent him a written list,i said no but things got very confusing after that.i will give it a few weeks as he didn't seem to with it (stress i hope that all )

A further option is to look at Axminster's Junior woodturning chuck. It is an ER20 chuck and can be bought with a 3/4-16 backplate.

The native Taig collets are very limited in the diameter they can hold, but do offer a very short projection from the spindle. ER20 will hold up to 13mm but does stick out a bit.

There are at least two other ER systems that fit a 3/4-16 spindle, the SCT from Chronos (but it looks to be discontinued) and the Beall (but this does not seem to be available in UK).

This is my problem,I don't know how to check a thread on machine.it measure 19 across and if I put a thread gauge in the thread it is 1,5 so feel stupid trying to work it out thxs

hi

just bought my first ever lathe,at the moment cleaning all the treacle off it etc.

Question is there a 3/4 jaw chuck that i can buy from that will go straight onto it,or does somebody know the thread size so i can go search for one.(one of many parts i think i will be needing )

thanks

phil
