I was very happy with my Rutlands DK6680 until recently. It’s fairly quiet so doesn’t drown out the radio and deals with the dust well, but now it will only run on slow speed and I need the high speed when I'm using the machines. I told Rutlands and they suggested I buy a new circuit board from...

All this computer talk has prompted me to ask if anyone can solve my particular problem. My laptop cannot find my cd drive - it is not listed under My Computer and I'm unable to use it. Although when I boot up it refers to it because the light flashes on momentarily. Any ideas anyone...

Hi everyone, I wonder if someone could help me. I have an old Union Jubilee lathe which I've had a long time but not made much use of. I'm now trying to devote a bit more time to it and looking to make some bowls. I've just tried to get an expanding chuck from Axminster but they couldn't...

Can someone in the know help me please. I took my Fuji Finepix 4700 with me to view a job this morning and I needed to take a number of photos indoors. The flash worked for the first three and then refused to work again. I tried turning off and on, closing the flash and opening again, etc -...

I've been puzzling over this since I changed the material for my current job from kilned oak to air-dried as mentioned in a previous thread (garage doors). I normally buy kilned oak as square edged which is fairly easy to convert to the sizes required. Air-dried comes in large waney edged...
