Happy birthday Windy !. I admire all you people that ride bikes at insane speeds , which has reminded me of another bloke I admire too, a picture of Danilo Petrucci breaking for the hairpin from over 190 mph at I think the Red Bull ring, Not much fork travel left Probably my all time favorite bike picture.

Hello all, been watching this Japanese machinist on Utube , lovely videos , well worth checking out !. Cheers.

Planar 5kw diesel heater like a few have mentioned , absolutely marvellous.

Hello, I purchased my D16 backplate from Chronos , excellent quality and 6 pins , for an E40 collet chuck adaption. Good service too.

Prefer the round ones with chocolate bits in ...

Holbrook H20, beautiful lathe !. Keep it somewhere !.

Bit lost with some of the answers , but in my case , I bought a seconhand Jaguar Cub off ebay many years ago, 2.2kw for my DSG, screwed it to the wall with an emergency stop on the headstock . Perhaps Ive done it wrong, but looks safe to me anyway.

Get youself a Diamond Toolholder from Eccentric engineering , saves a lot of messing about grinding all the facets by hand . Clamp HSS bit in the jig provided in the kit, a few passes across the wheel, job done.

Steviegtr, keep up the good work !. Have always loved pictures of peoples workshops , mainly for inspiration and the pleasure of seeing the equipment.

Oily rag, why on earth do say you found U tube content extremely sad ?. Were you watching funerals ?. I know its all subjective, but in my opinion, theres everything imaginable on U tube, and most of the time a lot better than TV. Historical, machining, welding, woodwork, battleships, railways, motorcycles, cars, just about anything you can think of !!!.

Thanks for the replies . All we can do is hope hes fit and well. Might give that company a ring on Monday !.

Hello all, I know this is a bit of a long shot, but does anyone know whats happened to David Wilks , a machinist from Sheffield. He used to do a lot of videos on U tube about trepanning , on hard steels like Inconel . Its been many months since his last video and am getting concerned, probably like a lot of people that something has happened to him !.

Do hope hes OK . Many thanks.

Im lost !?. Must be missing something here, its an independant 4 jaw, so what you have written tell us nothing .....sorry. Unless you mean the chuck is a 4 jaw self centreing one ????.

Hello all, bought a 4 inch self centreing Chinese 3jaw chuck (£43) off ebay, made a backplate and fitted it to a spin indexer. Chucked a piece of 3/4 inch ground bar and checked the runnout - 1 1/2 thousands of an inch !!!!.

Not bad at all. Incredible value.

As an aside, my friend asked me some time ago if I could repair a bottom guide runner of a VW Transporter sliding door , VW price about £110 . Got one off ebay , Chinese of course , for £8.90. Beautifully made too. Delivery included. Bloody hell !!.

Myford ML7, owned for 35years, excellent lathe, now sold.

Hardinge HLVH ( KL1), owned for 8 years, superb lathe, now sold unfortunately, needed some room.

DSG 13/30, owned for 6 years, see me out now, superb lathe in every respect.

Hello all, having a clearout, 15 MEW mags and few ME mags, from approx 2010 to 2017 , Graham Meeks book too. Free to the first person who PM,s me. Collection ONLY from Teignmouth, Devon. I wiil recycle them otherwise. Cheers

PC gone bleeding mad. Scottish Maritime museum removing all reference to ships being referred to as 'she', they must now be called 'it'. I hope its an April fools joke. Please someone tell me its a joke....
