Hi all Finally set aside some time to put in a ceiling pull cord on the dust extractor, rather than the conveniently sited NVR switch (12" off the ground and at the rear !) There's wires everywhere ! - I'm lost :shock: But, on the back of the NVR terminal block there's a wiring diagram IN:1...

Finally got round to assembling the cyclone I got from Cyclone Central months ago and it's got me to wonder about a couple of points ..... The power for the cyclone is a wall mounted Fercell extractor with 6" inlets and outlets. I've quickly tested the cyclone and it seems to work well - now...

Hi all I'm vaguely considering upgrading to the Pro version, but at £275 minimum - am I going to get any value from it as opposed to the free version ? Uses: Purely for producing furniture designs for workshop use and emailing out to customers. Chris.

Been meaning to do some Acrylics for a while........now I'm totally obsessed, whether they'll sell and especially the more expensive kits, is yet to be seen. This one's a Gentlemans - full size - a bit too long for the display box and with very large barrels. Chris.

Was watching this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT Seller is fairly local and deals in machinery, thought that being Nutool :oops: it would go for a song and might come in useful. Not so - did you clock the price? - what part of this am I missing or do I get a funny...

Just a quick enquiry to those that might know.....I have 4 x 3 ph machines all running off separate breakers in the main box, one's on a plug, the others are hard-wired to switch boxes. I'm just about to buy a Stromab 650 in 3ph guise and wondered - I work entirely on my own, can't use two of...

I believe a few people have got this model and I'm in need of advice as to whether it's what I want - How well does it work ? is obviously the first thing - I've got approx' 240 cubic metres of workshop to clean. It weighs in at 25kg - that can't be easy to get down and clean out regularly...

Hi all, Bought some pens from Woodturningz in the States - they have a good range and are quite cheap and delivery is fast. Had 4 or 5 orders before - no problems. This time however, very slow and I started to have a bad feeling, sure enough today I got a letter from Parcelforce - they're...

Hi - Would any of you be so kind, next time you're in your workshop to measure the outside dimensions of it's leg stand, ie: corner to corner footprint of the stand on the floor. I've just ordered one and being too tight to shell out £13 a corner on Jet castors, thought I'd make my own, ready...

...anyone got any Damson, seen any for sale or like to chop down a neighbours Damson tree for me ....? Desperateley looking for some for pen blanks :shock: Chris.

Hi all and Merry Christmas ! I'm thinking of laminating some Pen blanks in contrasting colours - Sycamore and Elm, that sort of thing, but can't get my head round how the sort of 'linear' effect in the blank transposes to that in the finished article - does anybody know what I mean.....or...

How on earth do you change the belt in an Axminster M330/ or basically any of the small 'mini' lathes - not change for speed, but replace I should have said ! Got to get jobs out and the Wadkins too big. Panic's over - obvious really....undo a couple of screws and 'it it with a mallet and hey...

I know there's a few on here who have one, so a couple of q's before mine's delivered..... a) What's on the end of the power cable - I gather it's a 16a start up - bet it's not a conventional blue plug. b) Does anyone use the supplied guard extraction ? as far as I can see, that exhausts...

Hi all, Due to the sad demise of my 12" Luna Table saw motor I shall shortly be the proud owner of a 10" Sip 01332....problem is, any existing 10" blades I have from my Makita pullover are 30mm bore, anyone got any 30mm - 25.4mm reducing rings that are redundant? Also - anyone interested in...

Hi all, I'm thinking of getting one of the Jet Drum sanders - the abrasive loadings for the drum - do they have to be the specific Jet/Axminster ones or can they be any heavy duty paper/Cloth abrasive? Chris.

Hi all, simple, I expect, but not to me.....I have an extractor working off it's own nvr swith (240v).....what I'd like is to have a pull cord switch, handier to the machine it extracts....do I 'loose' the nvr switch altogether and wire mains directly from the pull cord to the motor or what...

The third set of Lawn mower rollers and bits I've done this year: All in English Oak, from a 4" sq post - larger 4 rollers are 98.4 long x 73 diameter. Chris.

I've searched and found two references and generally favourable reviews for their 27mm Oak on here, but before I consider bunging a couple of grand their way - anyone else had any dealings with them, I'm very wary of waney edge too and the wildlife that it can import. Chris.

After all my success at wiring up my brand new secondhand Viceroy pillar drill I find it stops when it feels like it. I say 'stops' rather than 'cuts out' because it does it when not under load and at different intervals - sometimes I'll get about 45secs out of it, sometimes about 8 or 9...

Hi all, 3 phase has always been a closed book and a mystical black art to me.... but, having spent well over £500 notes over the past couple of years to electricians who seem to feel it's their god given right to charge the first figure that comes into their heads :x I think I have suddenly...
