Can anyone give me any information on what lathe this is please. I know it is a myford but does anyone know what model.

I have managed to pick up a City 20mm bore spindle , 32mm x 78mm . What i need is a top hat washer to convert the 15mm shaft to 20mm . If anyone has one or can make me one i will obviously pay for materials and labour.

Thanks for looking , but too big to use on the 15mm shaft.

Thats what i have found, there are a couple of old 20mm spindles for sale i have seen , there must be a way of adapting them to fit ?? Just asking as the Spindle moulder will be useless to me on the K5.

I know this question has been done to death about changing the 15mm spindle moulder on the City K5 . The one i bought has a 15mm spindle that holds french cutters, has there been any new recent adaption that i can purchase so i can change it to a more modern spindle block cutter preferably...

Thanks, Saw works fine, however needed new bellows, new tensioning spring, and to cut straight you have to angle the wood about 15 degrees to get a straight cut ?? Any ideas please Already found out the quick release clamp does not need too much pressure, snapped 5 blades on tightening Lots to...

i will do this morning when they are open. i only ask to save me ringing if someone else has asked the same question before.

The reason i ask is , i bought a hegner this week off eBay, it came with two quick release clamps and i want to try it out when my 110v transformer arrives today. i have ordered clock key and clamps but will have to wait another day before i can try out the machine too see if it works. just...

Question from a newbie can you use the quick release clamp on the lower arm of the Hegner multicut 2 ? regards john

Hi, My CL3 lathe has trouble starting in the highest speed. The motor runs very slow when cold and under pressure. When i drop down one speed the motor runs fine and after 5 minutes , i can change the belt to top speed and it works. It still is reluctant to start under any pressure even when it...

I will be there, hope the weather is better than last year, however it is all under cover in the giant glasshouse or theatre. Good day out.

They look great and easy to use . Just ordered two for my AWFS18. Much cheaper than the Hegner parts. Thanks John

Thanks Brian, Heavy lifting is out after my recent bowel surgery , I will go to the 20mm stroke length and wait till i get a sturdy bench to bolt it down onto, the vibrations were terrible on the black and decker workbench :oops: perhaps I am trying to run before learning to walk with the...

Thanks Geoff , will probably wait till i move before attempting any more scroll work , hope it will be in the next few weeks. john

Thanks to everyone for their kind help and comments, I was thinking i have the AWFS18 and have the stroke length set at 10mm, i did try setting at 20mm but it was like a bucking bronco. My saw is currently only on a foldable workbench until i move house and into my new man cave where it will be...

Here was my effort, not very accurate curves yet

Thanks for the welcome Using a Pegas no 7 blade , have since used 20mm pine today and managed that OK. I think i may order some Olsen blades , i have heard that they are very good , are they any better than the Pegas blades ?? , if not will be looking to get some thinner Oak than the 24mm...
