Rectifying a design fault
OuBallie | 05/11/2013 17:40:38 |
![]() 1181 forum posts 669 photos | I am ready to post my write-up, but am being scolded as it's 3600 characters too long. Dont want to faff about experimenting to find the total per post, so does anyone know what the total is please, as I will have to do mutliple posts. Geoff - What a saga. |

![]() 1181 forum posts 669 photos | Neil, Smart arse! Absolutely correct of course. Will do some 'reverse engineering' using a word processor or text editor. In the meantime, however, the write-up in all its glory may be downloaded from: Do I post it here, split into who knows how many parts, or just let anyone interested get to it from the link? Geoff - Workshop beckons. Edited By OuBallie on 06/11/2013 11:05:01 |

I hope people realise it applies to most of the similar lathes not jus the BH600 including gear heads which still have the same saddle. I know you got frustrated by the yahoo site but you might be able to load the text plus embedded photos as a doc on there. |

![]() 1181 forum posts 669 photos | Thanks for all the kind remarks. I forgot to mention that there is a Photo Album up with same name as this thread. My satisfaction will be if it helps anyone. Bazyle, I did manage to sent a post to the yahoo group, but heavens, it was the worse experience I've ever had trying to post on ANY group since I started using them when they first came into being. Bob from the Group pointed me in the direction of 'tinyurl'. I'd completely forgotten about that service never having used them before, but always clicking on kind of link. I'm concentrating on the SkyHook so that I can take a video showing how to remove the Apron. Showing how it's done will be so much quicker compared to explaining in writing, as usual. Geoff - Progress on the SkyHook going well. I've put the mockers on no doubt. |
