LIGNO 250 30mm

I had one of these quite a few years ago. Excellent lathe, solid as a rock

Completely agree about Tuffsaws. We should support small businesses of this kind and encourage more of the same.

I changed to Tuffsaw blades recently for my Record BS350 and I can hardly believe how much better they are than the "standard" blades supplied by Record.

Hi Olly Thanks for your reply. My switch looks the same as yours from the picture, but the on button is black, not green, so perhaps it's not the same after all. The old switch made a slight hum when the power was turned on (without switching on the motor). The old switch would sort of...

I wonder if anybody can help with this problem? I have a used Axi CT150 planer which kept shorting the mains when switched on. Eventually I bought a new switch from Axi (I suspected the old one because it was noisy) and found that the old switch had been wired with the mains coming in to the...

Hi Mark Don't know where you are in North Wales, but I am in Chester and have a Vicmarc 300 shortbed if you want to check out the size... Jim
