Thanks Jack, some really useful info there! Will keep a look out for some old bits aswell. Best wishes Dan

Hi, I've recently bought a Wadkin MA chisel chain morticer and need some help. On the front of the machine there is a sign saying 'important insert chisel bush with split opposite to split in machine chuck'. Now inside the chuck opposite to the split there is a pin sticking out, and on the...

Guess I need to check out all the options, thanks Oz and Mike.

Thanks for the invite Dan - PM sent.

Thanks for the link Stew, such a helpful podcast - really good demo. Amazing how the router table can be used to edge side and end grain, so versatile. Definitely consider getting this. Thanks again Dan

Hi I was wondering if anyone has used the precision router table by Kreg? Haven't the skills to make my own atm but was wondering if it would be worth a shot? How does it perform and what is the build quality like? Any comments would be helpful. Thanks and all the best, Dan

Hi Collin. I plan on using it like a pillar drill, but for forming mortices etc as well as boring, possibly sanding material to thickness with a drum sander. Thinking of wiring up an inverter with it to vary the speed if possible? Thanks for the links Mark - really helpful, great restoration...

The grease cups just need to be turned every month or so just to keep things moving freely. Not sure if a problem would occur due to too much grease though? There a literally hundreds of parameters on the inverter, if you want turn something big (I turned a 2ft table top) you will need to...

Hi. I am looking to get a Wadkin LM borer and was wondering if a mortice chisel could be used as well as a chuck? Any info on this machine would be really helpful. Kind regards Dan

Hi Peter, think I will just run off the motor. I can adjust the torque from the inverter and have been told it can achieve high torque a low speed, which is the reason for going down a step on the pulley anyway. The motor is mounted on a hinge, so will let the weight of it keep the belt in...

Here is a pic of the box out of the lathe

So here is an update on the lathe, I have my new motor and inverter from transwave and installed it using cable channel to get the offset I need for the different footprint. The motor was installed and had the inverter working to test out the gearbox, which was a little noisy. I put gearbox oil...

Thanks for the tips, guess angled ripping needs to be practiced with caution aswell. Hadn't considered forming moldings on the saw though, a little daunting no doubt!

Hi, just got this Robinson ET-E sliding table saw delivered a few weeks ago and have yet to wire it up and try out. Was wondering if timber would bind on the blade when in this position? Never seen a rip fence swivel before, has anyone seen or had any experience with this sort of thing? Many...

That's really helpful, thanks for all the advise.
