Colleagues, this is my first lathe. I keep meaning to put it on eBay now. I upgraded to an ML7, but she was ideal as my first training lathe. It's a Haighton Cadet. (Moderators, sorry if I've broken any rules by posting.) I bought it for £400 if I remember, but I'm happy to let it go for £350...

Having been exactly in the same place, I got one of the Screwfix Magnusson rotary laser levels. I, too, had an external job, and like me, you've probably been watching YouTube and TV where they are swanning about with the receiver. I thought I'd get one of them. I got the Dewalt from B&Q; it...

I have a Wadkin BAOS that I keep meaning to put on eBay. its 3phase. PM me if you are interested

Sorry, i've only just spotted the note. I have given the STL link above. i think i drew it in Sketchup, is that what you are looking for? DM if you want it.

Colleagues, not sure if anyone has responded, but today i got fed up losing my remote switch. So i changed a socket to BG Smart Power (got it from Screwfix a while back for the house), then connected it to Alexa. Dust extractor now turns off and on via Alexa or by using the socket switch...

I need to get rid of this out of my workshop if you want to PM me, its 3Phase. just noticed your in Belgium, oops

Thank you for posting, they seem reasonable to be fair. Good post!!!! More importantly, what are you building?

Paul I'd be interested in your final findings. I wonder if everyone whos posted has got bees? i got bees with the intent of getting the wax to have a go at making polish ( byproduct is also10L of honey this season and about to get circa 20L next week, so another benifit) . I've just finished...

Derek, i simply bypassed the NVR on my extractor, so its permanantly on when plugged in. Then simply put one of those cheap romote on/off sockets you can get in any shop/amazon. The remote is left by the table saw and next to the P/T. So switching on/off is now so easy. I left all the connectors...

l was using the nail gun and shot a nail into a piece of oak and had my hand behind the direction of the nail. it did a 90 degree turn and went in to my thumb. It was the same force you'd use to uncork a bottle of wine to separate me from the wood.

i was about to buy a wood stove for the workshop and I suspect the ago-rythms :-) worked it out and linked me to the chinese diesel heaters. Got one for the workshp 50m2 and its a game changer. Gone from workshop visits in the winter where when i come back to the house, a hot shower burns like...

I find a Lie Nielsen is best. 5/8" Fishtail Chisel

Richard, how did you apply the glue, i've had a few occassions where i've used metal application tools and the metal and tanin will react and i recall i got a black line on one or two occassions. I use oak around 70% of the time on my projects and never (with above exception) get a reaction from...

PM me if interested. I have a 3P, Wadkin BOA 12" that I was planning to get operational in a hobby workshop but the 3P is proving more difficult than I thought.

Do you use Sketchup?, i found some designs on the Sketchup Warehouse. Then redesigned my own version of a twin, they call it a love seat. Happy to send you the 3 sketchup files i have if you want them. Single-seat and twins

My simple solution was to build an even bigger shed :-) it's now 50m2. Think I might need another extension soon :)

Alan, Good luck finding one as i recall looking at other brands, not cheap. I'm just about to get the same machine up and running, 3Phase. But I'm guessing you've had a PT before. I have an older Axminster Perform PT and I've never bothered with the setting tool. I used to use the steel rule...

I bought this, just for the chainsaw and hedge cutting. No problems so far. My logic was that it was going to cost me far more than £150 to get someone in to crop the oak tree and cut the hedge. So at this price, it was almost disposable. https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/the-han ... ulti-tool/
