    A plea to Steve Maskery

    Many thanks for that Steve. I have got it working properly with a half inch 4tpi blade now, still having problems with a 5/8 3 tip but mayne it can't tension that enough.

    A plea to Steve Maskery

    And the stock answer to that is get a new blade from Tuffsaws...... Which is what is on it :)

    A plea to Steve Maskery

    No CD player. I used to use the one in my iMac but have a new one and they don't have a built in CD any more.

    A plea to Steve Maskery

    I am having big problems with my bandsaw cutting straight after changing the top tire and the blade. Pretty sure it is my fault as I have been fiddling with the adjuster wheel that controls the amount of forward or backward tilt on the top wheel. I have Steve's set of bandsaw CDs but no longer...

    Ticking noise coming from motor CL4

    My 18 month old Jet 3520b was doing that. I phoned Axi and they sent out a mechanic to change the inverter box. Solved the problem.

    Axminster SK114 variant question

    I cannot argue with that :) but the SK114 does have other advantages, for me anyway.

    Axminster SK114 variant question

    Indeed. it is the vanilla version, the T38. I have to say that I have often wished I had paid the extra for the T38R as the chuck can easily 'unwind' when using cole jaws or even a heavy piece of wood ( centrifugal force and all that )...... but it seems I couldn't have anyway, :)

    Axminster SK114 variant question

    The two holes 'in the face of the chuck' are actually at the bottom of two of the jaw slide areas. There is a grub screw in each hole when you buy it which tighten down onto the shoulder of the spindle. There are 3 problems with this. 1, They only work if you drill a small recess for them to...

    Axminster SK114 variant question

    Thats the whole silliness of it. The locking system is unuseable. I had assumed that was why the T38R was made at an extra £20 on the price but presumably you are saying that they haven't actually made it ?

    Does this sound like a scam?

    You have already said it set alarm bells ringing. Trust them and steer well clear of this.

    Axminster chucks; Evolution SK114 vs. Clubman SK100...

    As an afterthought, what lathe are you going to use it on ? the evolution would look out of place on a mini lathe. :)

    Axminster chucks; Evolution SK114 vs. Clubman SK100...

    You will forget, or get over, the extra cost long before you get over the joys of the evolution...... but that may not be very helpful as I have only used the SK100 a couple of times so cannot really compare other than to say I like the square key better than the cog one.

    You can certainly see that he is Alans son. Good stuff.

    Does This Look Right?

    It does, of course, depend on what you are trying to do. For many functions the jacobs chuck goes in the tailstock.

    I hate electrics

    Interesting. I will look into that.

    I hate electrics

    I am narrowing this down :) the tv works ok if the lathe is plugged in to the other side of the workshop ( different circuit ) A tv with a mains power supply works fine wherever the lathe is plugged in. It is only the TV and monitor with the box junction in the power supply that have a problem...
