Hi there Sorry to resurrect an old thread - but I was interested to hear about this Luna saw when searching for a SCMS. It looks to be a copy of the Axminster Quiet SCMS which is no longer available. One sold on ebay last year though...

Hi all :) I wonder if anyone could tell me if there are any good quality flexible shaft drives available aside from the cheap ones you always see that get pretty bad reviews? Or a complete flexible shaft machine? I was looking for something that could handle a reasonable amount of power - say...

Hi there I wondered if anyone could recommend a hand mitre saw? I have a lovely Elektra Beckum sliding compound mitre saw - but there are occasions when just using a hand mitre saw would be more convenient.. I've read some horror stories bout the cheaper models - like the Silverline etc Can...

I would say I polish for around 8 hours / month at the most. I do use a good respirator for my well being. I use 10" x 1/2" mops that spin at 2000rpm. The compound / dust gets thrown far and wide - I doubt any kind of near-field suction would catch everything. Hence I thought of some kind of...

Hi all :) I do a lot of polishing of Aluminium castings with a floor standing buffer. However the mess it makes is ridiculous! I wear a respirator & goggles to protect myself - but my workshop ends up covered in thick black fallout! I had thought of attaching some king of dust extraction to...

Hi everyone... Simplish question - I wondered what would have been the finish applied to most of the veneered furniture mass produced during the 1930s - specifically Art Deco style pieces? Would it have been spray cellulose? What would be the current equivalent nowadays - lacquer? Thanks!

Hi Blister Thanks - I'll go an have a gander at it :D

Hi everyone! Just wondered if anyone knew the Union Jubilee JG10 pedestal buffing machines? I have just been offered a single phase one but am unsure about how powerful it is in use? The plate is rated 0.55Kw - but says max amp draw of 5 Amps. So am unsure what HP the motor will be... ...

LOL - Maybe I should have worded it differently :) What would you say I should be paying for a KGS300 in fairly good condition - without the brake mod? On that note - anyone here selling one?! Thanks

Hi - thanks for the reply! It seems this saw has been copied quite a bit - or is the Elektra Beckum a copy? Found Metabo's replacement KGS301 - the Axminster QMS254I and I see the JET JMS-10S looks to be identical although I can't find anything in the UK about it... Could I be cheeky and ask...
