After a bowl gouge 3/4 inch or similar - if you have one for sale please let me know. Thanks Patrick

Anyone got one for sale?

Thanks for the advice - how strange that nobody has come on the forum with any positive comments about this tool - yet if you are looking to buy one new the reviews are 4 and 5 stars! Something don't add up.

I recently acquired a Sorby captive ring tool. I have downloaded the instructions and given the cutters a sharpen on a credit card diamond file but l cannot for the life of me get it to cut. It burns the wood rather that cuts it and l don't know what I'm doing wrong. Hoping that there is someone...

Thank you very much for the comprehensive reply Eric. Will have a play with the setup when my new bearings arrive. Patrick

Thanks for the advice - have just ordered a pack of 6082RS bearings - will give them a try. Patrick

Thanks clogs hoping that the SKY bearings do the job.

I bought a second hand bandsaw last year - some of the little blade guide bearings had seized (608ZZ) so l replaced them. Anyway here we are less than 12 months later and two of the replaced bearings have seized up. Just want to know it this is unusual , could it be symptomatic of some other...

Thanks Dave Just ordered two! Patrick

I have a BCT super cut 2 chisel but the supplier (the toolpost) has gone out of business and l cannot find anyone else who is supplying these cutters. It's a 1/2in cupped cutter and its threaded. Just wondering if there are any other turners out there who have had the same problem but found a...

Thanks for the replies. My interest in the wood is for turning. It's a big tree and its not going anywhere! My first thought was to cut off some of the smaller limbs ( about 12in dia) and seal them ready for making bowls at some time in the future. The main trunk is about 4 feet across at its...

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question. There is a very large chestnut tree on my local golf course which fell over about 4 years ago and is badly rotting at the exposed base. I have cut some burrs from it - some of them were just rotten but some looked ok. Anyway l have cut...

Thanks for the advice - have ordered the Charnwood one today.

I am fairly new to turning and l am having some difficulty seeing inside a bowl when hogging out. I have tried using an old anglepoise type lamp but with little success. Just wondering what advice is out there from experienced turners?

Tapped out the seized bearing through the bore of the other bearing as advised- fitted new bearing and cardboard shield and the saw is running great! Thanks for all the advice guys.

Thanks for reply Chas. The bearing is totally seized and is a sealed unit - cannot remove the shield. I am just not sure/confident how to get the bearing out.

Thanks Tom

I have had this for a few months now (second hand ) and it has started to screech. I have taken off the lower wheel and the insidebearing is seized. I can get it to rotate a little but it is very rough. I have looked at earlier posts and people talk about tapping out the bearing. I am no...

Thanks for that - l think when l am a bit more competent l will do as you suggest.

Thanks for the comprehensive reply Eric the Viking. I am not an experienced carpenter or metal worker - l am a newbie woodturner who wants to cut his own bowl blanks. I have today fashioned a wooden rip guard which I can clamp to the table. It does the job but wins no design points! I think l...
