I saw a book on the Quorn, I may have to get that to see if it inspries me to greatness, some chance. Anyway thanks for the idea.

Chris

Has anyone used one of these ?

Any tips on what to look for in a second-hand one would be appreciated.

This belonged to someone who passed away

I realise that this is an old thread but it's the only one that comes up when you use the search function.

Anyway I have managed to pick one of these gadgets up and will undoubtedly have questions when it arrives.

Jim, do you have any pictures of your set-up?

In fact does anyone have any pictures?

Book ordered and on the way, thanks

That looks great.

Can I ask where the design came from, I might like a go myself.

Yes

I'm always out of step !!

Excuse the mess but I'm in the middle of something.

I have pulled the try out a bit (to the right) to make it clearer.

Hope this ok, I'm having trouble uploading to my album.

Can't give you a proper answer I'm afraid

I think a tray might serve very well if you cut a section out to allow it to go round the lathe mount under the chuck.

There is a link here with some useful (maybe) comments on toolposts.

So, you buy a new cutter and then dovetail everything in sight

It's a sickness you know

No not at all, it was a genuine question.

Check my post count, I'm new and am in the beginner class.

Why the piston style may I ask ?

Do you think it is the best type ?

Float Switch

Submersible Pump

I used to keep Marine Fish in a previous life and there are a variety of submersable pumps and something called RO tubing. My guess is that suds can't be as toxic as salted water.

Here is a link you can use larger fittings if you want.

There are many small submersible pumps and switches in the aquarium section of ebay.

How about one of these ? LINK

Brilliant thanks.

I'm in Great Yarmouth by the way.

I couldn't find the "screw cutting made easy" sadly, brain issue probably.

I'm slowly coming around to the idea that I should leave the lathe alone and work around it.

I do fancy putting some magnetic DRO's on the top slides.

Thanks for the advice guys, it's slow to go in but I'm getting there.

Here is a picture of my gearbox, not sure what type it is.
