    Nova Nebula language barrier

    Thank you to all who made suggestions. I have now been talked through the procedure for changing the language to English and have done so. Thank you John.

    Nova Nebula language barrier

    I have just taken delivery of a Nova Nebula lathe and all the computer instructions are in German. There is a way to change the language to English but I can't find out how. The English written instructions don't help and the installation videos don't seem to cover the controls. Can anyone...

    Wanted Trend Airshield Pro

    I am looking for an Airshield Pro for my grandson who has started doing some turning. He is 10 years old but he has tried mine and it seems to fit him OK with a bit of adjustment. We would need ear defenders as he is very sensitive to loud noise. I am reluctant to buy a new one in case he...

    Sold Axminster AT2030 3hp Lathe

    Axminster AT2030 3hp lathe for sale. The specification is the same as for the rebranded Axminster AP508WL. This is a robust, powerful and heavy lathe but it divides into a number of parts for transportation. I use it on a daily/weekly basis and it is in excellent condition as can be seen from...

    Sold 2HP dust extractors

    Hi Mike I would buy the either extractor if not yet sold although it seems that they might both have gone. PM sent last week. Thanks.

    Dust Extractor advice needed.

    Thank you all for the additional replies. Following those replies I have looked at the situation again and by making a couple of structural alterations I can lose at least 4 metres of pipework and 2/3 90 degree bends as well as "softening" the other bends as suggested by using two 45 degrees...

    Dust Extractor advice needed.

    Hi Pete. I will read your reply again when I am more awake but I am going to consider reducing the length of pipe between DC and lathe by rerouting piping across ceiling rather than round walls. Changing to 150mm pipe woud be too much of a major change needing structural changes. Thank you...

    Dust Extractor advice needed.

    Thanks Ian. Yes, I do have blast gates on the unused ports and only use one at a time.

    Dust Extractor advice needed.

    I recently extended my workshop and, as a result, had to alter my dust extraction layout. I now find that, especially when I power sand, I am getting dust everywhere and not enough is being caught by the extraction system. My Draper 1hp extractor is housed in a shed that adjoins my workshop and...

    Axminster bandsaw AT3327B lower blade guide

    It's not too bad but I find it odd that there is a slot to insert the blade running across the table and this creates a place where wood can, and does, catch. The table was not completely flat. Wood also catches on the circular recess around the blade. At the time I sent a video of the problem...

    Axminster bandsaw AT3327B lower blade guide

    Panic over. After posting this message I decided to contact Axminster head office to double check the position over the spare parts (my original enquiry was with my unnamed local branch). They responded very quickly with a follow up question and later confirmed that they DID have the parts in...

    Axminster bandsaw AT3327B lower blade guide

    After problems with my bandsaw I discovered that one of the lower blade guides has disappeared and I assume that I have thrown it away when cleaning out the sawdust. An enquiry with Axminster indicates that they have no spares in stock and delivery time is between 6 to 8 weeks. From other...

    Wood burning stove for the workshop?

    I have now ordered a new battery to replace the 7 year old one in my car so that I have an "old one" for my diesel heater. I was concerned at having the trickle charger effectively connected directly to the heater (although I don't know why) but I am reassured that others have operated this...

    Wood burning stove for the workshop?

    Thanks Old Grizzly Others have also mentioned John McK's very interesting and informative videos. I am working my way through them and I note that he makes the same point about the "8 kw" heaters. I have now bought a 5 kw heater and will try and get it up and running this weekend. I now need...

    Wood burning stove for the workshop?

    Hi Izzy I am now fairly sold on buying a diesel heater for the reasons mentioned in my reply to Furnace's post. You also seem to have got a good deal on your heater. Any chance of a link to your supplier please? I see that you have sorted the fuel supply problem. Thanks for the initial steer...

    Wood burning stove for the workshop?

    Hi Furnace Since starting this thread I have been converted to thinking about a diesel heater instead of a woodburner. The persuading factors are initial cost, less space taken up with installation, more neighbour friendly and generating heat just when I need it. The downside is losing the...

    Wood burning stove for the workshop?

    Thank you to everyone who has replied to my post. I have been given a lot of food for thought and I am now agonising between an oil heater, woodburner or multi fuel stove. At the moment I am tending towards the oil heater for the reasons given by Izzy. My workshop stints tend to be for a...

    Wood burning stove for the workshop?

    Yes, I am concerned with the possibility of being a nuisance to my neighbours and woodturning fires can be a nuisance.
