Be careful with some of the ebay suppliers, the chemicals are usually fine, but i recently bought 2 1/2 litres of conc ammonia,which i left in a warmish place . The container split at the top on the seam due to the internal pressure in the rather thin container. The ammonia was actually...

I paid only £9 each for a couple of the smaller Dozuki blades, but the larger ones are more expensive. The most expensive blade i bought was the wider version of the 240mm Dozuki Me £26.50 (including VAT and delivery)

Thanks for the info, most of mine are Dozukis ,im quite happy with them really, teeth loss has usually been my fault. I did buy a largish japanese rip saw once and it was probably the worst saw ive ever used .No idea why it doesnt work but i still have it lying about. Not sure what type it is...

Thanks i guess we just have to trust that the tool/dealer/supplier we buy them off are buying from the respective Japanese factory . I know ive used the saws which i purchased i think from Axminster about 20 years ago so have last edwell, just too many broken teeth now,hence the replacements. I...

Hi, Hope somone could propose a solution. I want to buy a piece of machinery (lathe) Probably no more than 300 kg . Ive received prices of several hundred quid to collect and deliver approox. 300miles. I dont really want to pay that sort of price and wondered if anyone knows of companies that...

Fiinally success. I did tap the gear end a little which loosened the key a bit but still needed to heat the sleeve with a blowtorch to finally get it to move using leverage from a metal bar and sharp taps from a hammer.

I`ll try it in the morning.Thanks

Hi, Im not sure i follow, the motor shaft is the thinner left hand side in the photo. The wider sleeve part on right where you cant see the key is the gear reducer. The flange from the gear ratios reducer is in the way of doing anything with any force. The sleeve or whatever its called widens on...
