Yes, they are good but there are a few small caviats - below. I have both and use them perfectly easily unhandled. I have wondered about turning handles for them but I haven't needed to (yet). They need to be sharpened properly to work well. Get in touch with Simon Hope and he will send you...

Provisionally sold subject to collection / payment. Thank you for the interest shown.

Thx. Responded.

It looks like around £7 through the Post Office but that increases to £12 to include compensation for the full value. I haven't done a full comparison of other carriers.

I'm out all day so it's difficult to check but I'd say less than£10.

Thank you. That's helpful. Yes, that does seem to be the case. I'll have another look tomorrow. Assuming it is the 8", it's odd that the setup procedure in the manual didn't work. Maybe it's user error!

Thank you. I added larger dimensions to the picture but, for reasons I don't understand, the same picture on this forum shows it without the larger text! I've re-edited the photo and it's attached but here is the info in case it isn't visible: Length of Tool Rest arm from base to start of tool...

I think you're probably right about the model. I've got it set at a different height from the manual suggestion (107 instead of 140mm). That works OK for higher angles like 45 degs but 15 degrees is actually more like 20 but that's OK because I know and, in any event, it's the result that...

Thanks Lefley I do have the manual and I did what you suggest with an 8" wheel on an older grinder but some angles were slightly out. I'm setting it up again with a new grinder and a CBN wheel so I thought I'd see if I could work out which model I have. If it is the 6" model, that would...

According to the instructions, the O'Donnell Sharpening jig comes in two flavours, 6" & 8" denoted by a label on the front. Mine didn't have a label when I bought it so I don't know which version I have. I'd like to know so that I can set it up properly. Can anyone who has one with the label...

According to the RS information (above), it weighs 14.5Kg (32lb). You'd need to add something for packing. I'd want to pack and protect it securely so maybe allow just under 20kg?

If you end up using hot glue gun, just use the glue around the perimeter, not the flat faces and you can easily remove it by blowing a hot air gun (meant for paint removal) over it to soften it. I use that technique to hold pieces onto a friction chuck on a lathe and they are very secure but...

Autopaint at Lowford, Bursledon near Southampton do a paint colour matching service for spray paint for cars. I've used it for a lathe. They are excellent and a can is not much more than a standard colour from B&Q. I expect there are similar places elsewhere. https://www.autopaintlowford.co.uk/

The OP was, I think, referring to partical filters and that's what I'm interested in. He said: If you use the filter past it's intended life, it will not fully protect you, If you use a filter for an excessive length of time beyond its design life, not only will it not protect you, but it's...

I'd be interested if the OP or someone else with experience could comment on this. Everything seems logical.

You'll find it easier to ensure that the epoxy doesn't have air holes between laminations if you use a filler in the epoxy mixture. Google epoxy filler. West do several for different purposes. Prime the bare wood with standard epoxy mix then add filler to the rest of the mixture to about the...

There are a couple of woodturning clubs in Wales. If you contact them, and offer some of the wood to their members, they are likely to turn up in force with chain saws and cut up the tree into usable sized chunks. You can keep some and they can take away what you don't want. Google "woodturning...
