very very nice pieces.

Hi Peeps,hope everyone is well. Ok so i have a problem,i had a blade come off my band saw (nice fright lol) anyway,i have ordered another blade,the problem is when the blade came off it brought some of the rubber Tyre off the wheel,well i say off,it loosened it, My Band saw is an ole fella,and...

I know little about it,but recently i have been in talks with a chap about what blades to use for what purpose,in his view (in his position i think he should know), it is better to use a narrower blade ie,1/4 carbon with 6 or 10 tpi for curves and bends. Please don't take this as the reason why...

Hi Bod,sorry to jump in mate,im new to the scene and wonder how you get a blade the wrong way round,im asking because i have 2 blades coming soon and it is my first attempt at putting one on the band saw,i don't want to get it wrong,how do you know which is the right way? sorry for the dumb...

Your probably right,but for a first lathe imo,its a very good grounding.i have no experience with other lathes as this is my first one,so tbh i know very little about them.

Thanks Malcolm,much appreciated,yes have spoken to Ian at length,sorted me out with a couple of blades,just awaiting their arrival.

Thanks Rodders i hadn't actually seen that.

Very very nice mate.

Crikey Robin those are some saws,the one i got is tiny in comparison,saying that it weighs 120kgs and really hurts when you drop it on your foot getting it into place (hammer) :roll: Yes i think it is Italian.

Great stuff,thanks for the links Rodders appreciated,once i get my new blades i may just be able to test it out 8) :lol:

I have to say,your work inspires me to do better.

Hard work but will be very nice when finished.

Coronet all the way.

Lol yes 5 too many.

Hi peeps,hope everyone is well. I have just purchased an old Meber 400 professional Band saw,does anyone have any experience of these band saws,a bit late if you tell me there not good lol,but thought i might find someone whom had any ideas about a manual for this machine, Doesn't seem like...

Yes your lucky, Yesterday whilst walking the dog,i spotted fellas cutting down a MASSIVE sycamore tree :D ,so thought i would pop back today to stake my claim,sadly the lot had gone :| , I should have gone first thing as it was at night i spotted it,but had things to do earlier today so didn't...

Lol Sorry Phill,i mistook you for someone else,no idea why. anyway your work with turning is great.

For someone who has only been doing this a short time,you certainly have a flair for it. No way would i attempt something so complicated for some time yet.

Very nice those mate,imaginative too.
