Looking to buy a Hammer N4400 bandsaw in good condition. Preferably single phase but can use 3 phase in my workshop as well. I am in central Scotland nr Edinburgh but I am willing to travel for the right machine. Not interested in any machines on Shetland, Isle of Man or Isle of Wight! Feel free...

The decking isnt for a customer, its for my cousin and we put in in together. I dont want to get involved in any argument between him and the site owner. The smell is nearly away so we might get away with not removing it, hopefully. A mate gave me 5l of Liberon decking oil so the new wood will...

The real stuff, no fakes here!

I painted about 35m squared of decking on Sunday night with proper creosote. The decking is in front of my cousin's large caravan. Now some other caravan owners are complaining about the smell and it needs to be masked. There is only one caravan nearby and the other complainers are folk walking...

Thats interesting. The reason that mine were so expensive was that the plastic holders the brushes get inserted into were included. There is no need for that inclusion as there is no need to replace them. I have measured the brushes and will get the other 2 pairs fro a carbon brush supplier.

Thank you to everyone who replied. I will wait and measure one of the brushes and then order another 4 from Carbon Brushes uk. I have checked the motor and unfortunatelty there no markings on it anywhere to allow me to get the bog standard cheap brushes. As a wee aside I did order 10 pairs of...

One of the motors on my big Camvac 486 wasnt working so I stripped it down to find out I need to replace the carbon brushes. Phoned Record and the price for a pair is £35 posted out. Has anyone bought some from an alternative supplier for brushes for the other 2 motors who will probably go...

I have a Sedgwick MB planer thicknesser and its the 4 knife tersa model. I am looking to fine tune the tables as its about 8 years since I last did it. I had a manual which covered all the tersa models but cannot find it at the moment despite spending ages looking for it. Does anyone who has the...

The better option could be a Denford cnc router. Check out their website for info. All made in the UK and fully supported by the company and a good forum. The router on the smaller ones is a Porter Cable which uses quarter inch or half inch bits. I have had one for 2 years now and love it. It...

There are some very good recommendations here. Thank you gentlemen. Dont think I will go near asda for them this time

The rechargeable batteries I bought a few years ago are no longer holding any charge so I am on the hunt for some new ones and a charger to go with them. I want to use them mainly in my digital camera but the telly remote and a few other items could possibly be doing with some as well. Anybody...

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I have been in contact with a machinery removal company in Southampton. I am arranging for them to go in and put it on a pallet and move it to the door. A pallet company with a tail lift will then pick it up and ship it to me. I discovered during the week...

I have just purchased via ebay a clicker press for cutting out leather and it weighs about 400Kg or so. Its located in Fawley in Hampshire which is about 500 miles away from me in Glenrothes. The company I am buying it from aren't being the most cooperative and wont put it on a pallet for a...

Hi Graham No I didn't as a few things came up. Still interested so could you pm me the details please. Mike

If I had £18K to blow on bedroom furniture I would want it made from real wood and not that reconstituted stuff!
