Well Steve I was only joking really - I never expected you to take me seriously. But you never know - If I cant find one I just may ask again. If you do ever want to sell it you should go for the best offer. Best regards Jaybee

@ Steve M As you may know Steve I have watched your video using the self same model of machine. When you waggled that top wheel to show how it can be adjusted I had to wonder if it was about to fall out of the machine. As regards having yours for £1010 - I had set my limit to £750 and no more...

Yep I think they got carried away. Ok Dusty. An interesting comment. But what would your choice be if say - you had £1000 to spend on a 2nd hand bandsaw? Jaybee

Hi. I have been looking for a little while now for a Basato 5-4 and I saw one for sale on Ebay a few days ago. I was contemplating making a bid and would you beleive it - it went sailing past the price I was prepared to pay whilst I was just getting ready to bid. It went for a staggering...

@ Eric The Viking. Yes I asked for that. I know of course they have changed their name but for some stupid reason I still call them Radiospares. Its just like the Spanish - they have changed to the Euro now for years and years but if you try to do any business with them its always pesetas...

I have my own way of cutting Dado's If I have a lot to do, I find it so easy to use my ts4010 circular saw to cut one side of the dado in all the pieces then cut the other side of the dado by resetting the saw fence. After that, go to my router table and remove the center of the dado. I usually...

Many thanks Bob. The drive belt arrived today. I am now back in business and my sander is up and running. Best regards John

I agree with you. Someone is having a Larf as they say Ok it was worth it to go back through the rain to the workshop to get the old belt. It has the words :- The Great Wall Tape-Making 150XL037 Before I ordered from NMA I went down to a couple of Motor Spares retailers to ask about...

What!!!!! The Sander cost £110. 00 - a good price I thought. The replacement Drive Belt Cost £20.00 + nearly £5.00 P&P Good old NMA

It was the drive belt from the motor to belt sander drive shaft that had broken. Imagine that! The original sanding belt & sanding disc still good but the drive belt snapped after about 11 months. NMA to the rescue again... Good old NMA

Hi 9fingers The first thing I did was to look at the manual. Maybe it is me or maybe I'm having a bad day but I thought the manual was most confusing and not very informative. The fault is not covered in their list of things that go wrong and the diagrams at the front seem to be lacking text...

@ RogerS I am not quite sure what your point is Rog. The sheds I referred to were rather nicely built brick affairs with very tastefully designed windows - many an old time architect would have been envious. The wood to glass ratio looked ok to me and nobody ever complained about it. They...

@ Smudger I thought they were quite used to seeing holes dug in cemeteries :? As for concrete - well it is just a little more modern than stone - innit :P I bet you 100 cub ft of Bocote you would not get a single complaint from any of the residents. :roll: John
