Hi all, I hope this post doesn't break any rules. In which case, please remove this. Thank you. Many here, will, I'm sure already be members of wood turning clubs. Yet right now not all clubs are meeting and with some also needing to socailly isolate you may be missing the chance to chat to...

Hi all, I'm a wood turner, but may get into routing sometime soon. So I have a lathe, bandsaw (50mm extract) and, maybe using a Triton router soon. Right now I own a wall mounted CamVac twin motor with a 63mm extract. I don't have it in use as I bought it used and I need to buy a hose. I also...

Hello all, A friend has a Naerok WL-12037 lathe that needs new bearings. This is the same as the Clark CWL12D. My understanding is that to do this all we do is hit the bearing with a good lump if wood and the bearing will obligingly come out. We then look at the reference number on the bearing...

OK, I know this is a really noobie question. I'm looking at a repair job I need to do on my shed and can see a circular saw would be desirable. Not essential, but it would make it easier for cutting the ends of the ship-lap for the shed walls. Now given this, I'm thinking, after I've got this...

Hello, I'm a member at a woodturning club and we're having a competition at the next meeting for turning boxes. I've not turned many boxes, as I prefer to turn vases. But I've tried a few over the weekend. The first has a sloppy fitting lid. The 2nd was from wet wood. I put it in the microwave...

Draper 69122 10" Table Saw c/w Stand. As New £150 but open to sensible offers. This saw generally sells for £179 + £49 for the stand. The saw was used once and put back in the box. I'm now fed up of it taking space. It comes with all the standard parts: 2 blades, the fence, push sticks...

Hello, I've got 2 Axminster chucks; SK100 and SK114. I'm thinking of getting some jaws to reverse mount things. What sort of jaws would you recommend? The options I've looked at are Button jaws and woodplate jaws. Does anyone know what the sizes of the button jaws ralates too? That's to say...

Hi all, I've bought an Axminster Sk114 chuck. I don't have any jaws yet to fit it. What would you recommend as a start off? AI already have a Charnwood Viper 3 chuck. The jaws I have for this will give me an external size of 47mm. So I'm thinking this will be good for the smaller work and use...

Hi all, I'm new to turning and the lathe I've got an Axminster M950. When I got it, it was in a bad way with dust and general crud all over. I've stripped it all down, cleaned it and sorted a few issues and it's now working quite well. Well, that's to say it WAS working well, until the motor...

Or maybe the title should be "Getting Chisels Sharp". I'm new to turning and have some Faithful gouges and such. I picked them up "used" but near enough unused. I've found when turning I don't get a really smooth cut although I do ride the bevel. So, I tried sharpening them with an Axminster...

Hi All, I'm very new to all of this. I did some woodwork at school about 40 years ago, and very little since other than DIY around the house. So bandsaws are very new to me. An uncle recently got me into woodturning and as part of the setup I bought a used band saw. It's a DeWalt BS1310. Bought...

OK, I know this is potentially a, "how long is a piece of string?" question. If there wasn't a need for both types of saw, they wouldn't have been invented. But, I'm new here so this is my debut/introduction posting. I'm new to this woodworking malarky. It all started when I was thinking...
