    Robinson lathe

    The grease cups just need to be turned every month or so just to keep things moving freely. Not sure if a problem would occur due to too much grease though? There a literally hundreds of parameters on the inverter, if you want turn something big (I turned a 2ft table top) you will need to...

    Robinson lathe

    Hi Peter, think I will just run off the motor. I can adjust the torque from the inverter and have been told it can achieve high torque a low speed, which is the reason for going down a step on the pulley anyway. The motor is mounted on a hinge, so will let the weight of it keep the belt in...

    Robinson lathe

    Robinson ET-E fence swivel?

    Thanks for the tips, guess angled ripping needs to be practiced with caution aswell. Hadn't considered forming moldings on the saw though, a little daunting no doubt!

    Robinson ET-E fence swivel?

    Hi, just got this Robinson ET-E sliding table saw delivered a few weeks ago and have yet to wire it up and try out. Was wondering if timber would bind on the blade when in this position? Never seen a rip fence swivel before, has anyone seen or had any experience with this sort of thing? Many...

    Explosion proof lighting

    Hi, I am looking for some lights for a spray booth which is about 12ft square, with an extraction system on the back wall. Can anyone advise on the type of lighting or had any experience with such lights? Many thanks, Dan

    Robinson lathe

    Ah, thanks Tudor, that does make sense. As the plate is missing I have no machine ref. number but will def. try Scott and Sargent. Talking about machine numbers, would this Wadkin NL be made in 1935? Is that how the date can be told from a machine? If any one has any info. on this I would be...

    Maple spoon

    I really like that, the form is stunning! You could use foodsafe finish from Chestnut; have used it on bowls and chopping boards before (only in beech though) Kind regards Dan.

    Eisteddfod Bardic chair

    Lovely work! Have you put a finish on this piece? BTW there is also the craft and design competiton (£5000 first prize), Steve Howlett won it for woodturning a few years back. I was thinking of entering this year with an inlaid table I made, but decided against it as I wasn't happy with the...
