Dear Martin

I think I have managed to send you a message!

Robert Butler

I doubt it, when in the RAF where else would you put your filing other than in Drawers!

Silly humour time for which I apologise.

Jakar - well know auction site spares listed. Caran d' Ache helical cutter replacement on Amazon UK (should I have mentioned this) Google make of machine as above and add spare parts. I obviously don't know if they will fit but with the sentimental attachment worth a punt and may be capable of modification to fit.

Gentlemen to shatter a possible illusion, I remember well my woodworking lessons over 50 years ago now. Regrettably not much time for woodwork now. Dovetail squares (now there's a contradiction in terms) permit striking out using a proper marking knife with the unsharpend edge of the blade resting against the square thereby preventing wavy lines.

Robert Butler

Or reverse the the direction of application of the knife which is only sharpened on one edge.

It must also be noted the joints were marked out with a "marking knife" - never pencil although the marked lines could be highlighted with pencil and the waste also marked with pencil.

Robert Butler

If it is a dovetail jig it can only be used for marking out, who would risk fine dovetail saws or chisels using it as a guide for cutting the joint?

Is that a screw slot immediately above the puller screw 12-00 o'clock? does the item on the end of the wheel then unscrew? both would serve to locate the cast iron wheel and when the wheel is removed may also reveal a key?

Make sure you have enough headroom for the draw bar once installed particularly if the collects/chucks benefit from metric and imperial threads!

Just a thought, there are carburettor repair kits listed on the internet and for old engines, vehicles or marine applications.

I assume back post = rear tool post - silly question was the parting tool inverted? if not this would explain the problems experienced.
