i bought some record machines 18 months ago and only now getting round to setting them up. i'm left with a black round bar around 10mm and maybe 250mm long with an orange knob on it and no idea what it is and don't know whick box it came in .nothing in the instructions shows it in the parts...

came off easy enough after the oil got to work. tried a light tap on the chuck key and away it went. all good and thanks to one and all for the info

studding connector sounds good .i ve soaked it with wd40 and will keep doing so for a few days .chuck not even working to get the connector in so thats the first thing to ease.thanks

thanks for the info.didn't want to damage the motor and as i'll not be using the chuck at any point,i did think about just cutting it off at the back off the chuck.looks like its been on for some considerable time. some wd40 then and we'll see where it goes. thanks again

i bought a saw 2nd hand a while back and only getting round to tidying it up now. its been sitting idle for some time by the look of it and has a chuck mounted on the motor. anyone know mow to remove it.

does every different blade need different clamps? what blades would you recommend for getting started

i just bought a saw and one of the blade clamps with tightening screw is lost so i need a replacement. anyone with a hegler machine point me in the right direction for spares and what exactly is the correct term for that part to order

Old thread i know and glad the client was happy with what OP did .A shadow joint can sort many things and much better finished look than trying to bluff in a straight add on piece. One wee thing though that comes to mind with what is obviously a new build. Most new houses now will have some form...

Correct ref the history side of things but as a framer myself,i,d rarely cut a mount with a larger bottom margin unless requested by the client or remounting an old item, like for like. the standard 8 ft ceiling height of most dwellings now doesn,t really require the looking up perspective of a...

carpenter you say:oops:goodness me.no way out of that other than change them.how many or is it better not to ask?

i started with pro bosch and apart from replacing batteries(nimh) had no complaints. moved to hitachi when the battery types changed(li-ion) and now have a mixture of hitachi/hikoki and quite a lot of makita lxt stuff. depends on the task in hand which i use ,esp boarding as the makita impact is...

anyone have any knowledge of this spindle moulder. sounds ideal for my wee workshop,2200w motor,cast table and 30mm spindle changable to a 12mm router bit collet. any advise appreciated before i blow 1200 quid

A forstener bit ,depth gauge set on the drill handle and a sharp chisel and a good dose of care and patience. do you not know anyone with a mortise machine.5 minute job hallowing it out on that.Exterior is the easy bit

i'd tend to rule out the threading on the bar first with a matched ordinary nut as its rare to damage cast threads so easily on the turn wheel. if all seems well on the threaded bar ,you'll need to retap the thread on the wheel but go gentle and use a bit of cutting oil as you go . cast can be a...

thanks for all the advice.safe enough it seems . electric is not my favourite subject and always wary of overload

I have an array of different chargers for my cordless gear that i need to use many evening when i get home. I bought a 4 gang extension lead ,fixed it to the wall to create a charging station in the workshop but it came into my head that running 4 chargers of an extension lead from a single 13...

When i was working on housing stock mid 80's ,i was swinging 5 int doors a day and all bored out with brace and bit . main thing was to have good bits and a wee triangular file for edging them now and then . Changed times . Best use of a brace was always the 1 1/4" hole for a nightlatch .Superb...

should be simple enough to bore it on one side centre and then with the new hole lined up with the shaft bore,run the drill through the other side with the whole thing in situ to ensure an accurate bore right through. have,nt used or seen a brace used in many years. still have 2 and a set of...

I fitted one of those wee oiling points to the back of my nail gun . It uses up the oil really quickly though. Do i need to keep filling it or is one fill a day sufficent

i haven't noticed a drain point on it. the small compressor that i use on site with the brad nailer has one and always releases quite a bit of moisture when i bleed it at the end of the day when in use. i have ideas about starting to refinish existing kitchens in the long run and might get into...
