hi the gears are available from www.hobby.uk.com

re removing the left handed screw usually found inside the chuck if it wont come out like this one then spray down the chuck with wd 40 and leave it chuck upright for a while to allow the wd 40 to soak in or immerse the chuck in to a tin containing enough paraffin to cover the chuck and leave this for a while

I have had some chuck screws that would not come out and have had to cut the chuck off carefully with a disc cutter until it could be removed

hope this will be of help but please no smart comments

the correct way to remove the chuck is to remove the screw that retains the chuck then put the largest allen key you can fit in the chuck small end of allen key first then holding the drill with one hand knock the allen key and the chuck should come loose

yes Darren is still servicing as far as I know I was in contact with him only a few weeks ago

hi mick

I had a similar email from Belarus offering me a mill I had advertised for months ago but I realised straight away it was a scam and deleted it

yes good point the loft is more secure than a garden building but access is more awkward than just popping outside in to the workshop also there is no natural light at all in the loft

find an alternative to the loft to many possible problems

Presumably it has a 240v coil and not a 415v type

I would like to turn a taper using the topslide on my lathe the taper is to fit my jto taper chuck could some one tell me how to work out the set over angle please

I was always told that the link type belts awear the pulley more due to the metal content of the belt is this true or not as they are as alresdy discussed a lot easier to fit than a standard v beltGeoffre

Hi all thanks for your comments and I have not tried your method norman but I did previously read about it although I cannot see the chuck fitting as it is so tight on the spinle nose thread at the start of the thread

i am all for cnc or most appropriate at the moment workshop heaters so why not do an online pol of the readers to see what would be most appropriate for the majority

hi all

regarding motor and control gear wiring i think there should be a separate forum on here specifically for motors and control gear ie direct on line starters and invertors after all it is vital that they are wired up correctly

the invertor manuals are far too complex in their content for what is required by the model engineer for his workshop equipment be it a milling machine lathe etc

regards geoff

i do agree that good lighting is essential but have any of you considered if possible using daylight by fitting a roof window or something along these lines i fitted one and replaced the corruged sheeting with equivalent type as used on conservatories excetera and it improved the daylight in the work area no end
