    Wicked, thats such good news. I must say you are all a really good bunch on this site. I had expected that would be that and to give up the idea until ebay came up with some french cutters or I got truly bored and started grinding my own from stock HSS. Now I just need to find the euros...

    phew...what a lot of quality information. I had considered turning a new spindle though i haven't stripped down the existing one to see what bearings it uses and so what i would have to work with. I have a 2HP motor from a garden shredder that I considered using instead of the motor that comes...

    Thanks for the very thorough reply. The spindle is 15mm and the thread is M6, the spindle is 65mm high. The top of the spindle is composite as a dowsing of wood stain revealed. There is a brazed in piece through which the thread is cut, which is just visible in the photo. As you can see...

    Thanks to you all for the advice. I shall reply to you all so sorry if I miss a point from your comments. OK the spindle is about 15mm so would need a converter block machining, this isn't a big problem as I have access to a lathe and can make one easily. I was ever so slightly concerned at...

    Hi and thanks. Just noticed the very swish technology on this site has converted my smiley into a picture.... I am impressed with the spellchecker too, I suspect there may be some IT nerds around here as well as professional woodies. I think I'm going to have to go back to school just to...

    I just bought a Kity K5 combination machine and I would like some info regarding the spindle moulder. The single blade cutters for this machine are long gone it seems and so if any one out there has any or has any suggestions as to modifying it to take a standard block I would be grateful. I...
