I notice that the charger currently being sold by Trend in the UK is different from the original, with a small electronics box now included in the line to the battery. I know there were concerns about overcharging the battery with the original charger, so can anyone tell me whether this new...

Thanks to all for your suggestions. Think I am going to try the epoxy first.

I recently purchased a few metal box hinges, and have made a couple of small boxes. I am wondering what would be the best adhesive to use for fixing the metal hinges to the wood. The Prokraft site suggests ca glue, but I am wondering if epoxy might be better. There is not much force needed to...

Your compressor is plenty big enough, and the vacuum reading is excellent. You are unlikely to get much better, whichever system you use. The bigger chuck will be of benefit with bigger bowls etc., but light finishing cuts are the order of the day whichever chuck you use. It is also prudent to...

Hi Paul The reason I had the adaptor on my desk and could measure it for you was that I have only just purchased it, and was waiting for some vacuum tubing to connect it up. I have connected it up now and got a good vacuum using a vacuum pump, but I have not actually tested it by turning...

Hi Paul The rod appears to be brass, but you don't need any extra clearance inside the bore, as long as it can be inserted and removed without difficulty. The rod rotates with the headstock spindle, so there is no relative movement between the brass rod and the inside of the spindle. The only...

I happen to have the holdfast on my desk in front of me, and measuring the outside diameter of the threads gives 9.9 mm. I suggest you confirm you can at least get a 10mm drill into the bore of the headstock, with some clearance.

Returning to the question of bags for Lidl vacuums, I thought I would share an alternative that I use. I found the bags a nuisance, but my larger Record Power DX4000 type extractor uses small fine dust filter bags to place over the main filters...

Thanks Chas I normally use the Trend Airshield when sanding, together with local extraction, so I guess I will do the same while turning in this case. The wood is not particularly wet, as it was placed in dry storage immediately it was harvested. I suspect the fungus had already taken hold in...

I cut down a pear tree in the autumn and set aside some of the larger pieces to dry. The tree had not been healthy for some years and soon after putting the logs into storage a white fungus appeared on the cut ends. I am a little concerned whether there might be any health issues in turning...

That looks identical to the Axminster rest. http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-ad ... est-100245 Slightly better price from Axminster.

Hi With a username of Hooberbear I am guessing you are the guy who came to look at my lathe in Clydach when I was selling it on e-bay. :) I am a member of this club, which meets every Monday evening (except bank Holidays) at 7PM at The Alltwen Community Centre on Dyffryn Road (SA8 3BY). The...

You could try this: http://www.chronos.ltd.uk/acatalog/Chuck-Adaptor-M33-x-3.5-mm-outer---3-3--x-16-TPI-Inner.html The text is a little confusing, but you could check with them first to make sure it is actually a 3/4 x 16 inner thread. EDIT: I have been thinking about this and I think this...

A few quid invested in something like this will save you a great deal of cursing and swearing. http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Automotive/d60/Mechanics+Tools/sd180/Combination+Snap+Ring+Pliers/p34192

Actually it is the same lathe as the Axminster AWVSL 900 (which seems to be no longer offered by Axminster) and not the AWVSL 1000 They should still be able to supply spares if necessary though. There were several other manufacturers who sold the same lathe including the Jet JWL 1236 I agree...

The primary dust extractor in my shop is one of the record HPLV extractors but I also use one of the Parkside vacuums from Lidl. The parkside vacuums can be used with or without a bag, but the use of the bag is recommended for fine dust, so I was using them to capture more of the fine dust but...

I have a similar lathe for sale if you are still interested. For Sale: Delta 46-255 wood lathe [Same lathe as Axminster AWVSL900, Jet JWL-1236 and several others but with Delta branding] 6” and 3” Faceplates Supernova Scroll Chuck with 2” Jaws Dakota XT700 precision scroll chuck with 45mm...

You don't say how wide a board you will be cutting the strip from. I would want to cut this from the edge of a board significantly wider than 80mm. The first 45 degree cut can be made on the edge of the board, and then the board can be turned over (longest face now down on the table) the fence...
