Only 1" :lol: I'm doing the whole floor in concrete . I plan to insulate the area and make new gates for the back . Probably smaller than i have now as the ones i have span 12ft and i never open 2 of them . I want to brick that part up and maybe have 6ft of gates . If i can make it secure enough i w...

Makes my problem seem minor :shock: I removed the wedges and jack yesterday to get some concrete under the front of the saws support leg . I must admit i did a little bit of wee when i removed the wedges :o https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49403516336_bd6fc79646_c.jpg Just the other support to do...

I kind of answered my own questions when writing this so cracked on doing it properly . well , kind of properly https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49373770501_df4e50ba4e_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49381073557_087744956c_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49388612472_096682d386...

Bit of a problem in the workshop . The roof out the back where i have the wall saw has been leaking for a long long time . I dont really use the area so it never bothered me until i noticed the wall saw wasnt quite level :shock: The floor has rotted and its falling ! Ive managed to support it ( pict...

Picked up a 55 x 100 1-1/4 bore block off ebay , £42 delivered . Gave the machine its first job today , it's a beast !

Try Beltability . 0175352202

The bars where hollow . Once i loosened them off the whole thing came apart so i took a bar to my local metal place and the bloke grunted 33.7 then wondered off out the back and came back with two 1.6m long bars . £20 .

Hmmmm i assumed they where solid . I will investigate tomorrow !

My record lathe has two 1-1/4 stainless bars that hold it together and support the head and tail stocks . I need to extend them buy about 100mm . Any bright ideas ?

Just my penneth worth but having an 1 1/4 spindle is my preference because I can fit either 1 1/4 tooling or with a spacer/shim also use 30mm tooling

You mean 1" right ?

The only reason for the upgrade is i got offered the whole lot for silly money . Most of my work involves the spindle moulders , two set up for dedicated tasks and i think this one will be left to just do my windows and doors . I'll see how i go for space and decide if i really do need 4 or should i...

Question . Ive only played with small spindle moulders before . 1" spindle and 50 x 100mm blocks .
Is the 1-1/4 spindle beneficial over a smaller dia spindle ?
Are wider (125 rather than 100 ) dia blocks beneficial ?

It's fookin massive mate :lol: Made some supports for the table behind it for the rotary phase converter today and have an electrician turning up tomorrow to check the wiring ( although i know it all cool ) https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49293036933_cb42fd39d3_z.jpg Time to redesign the whole w...

Slowly does it .

I'm going to need a holiday after this !

Thought i would play musical machines over the holidays so finally got this one into the workshop . All i need is a 1-1/4 50mm block to get it up and running . Oh and to put it back together .

Even my digital calipers have a smashed screen , just another thing to go wrong .
Nice if you are playing but no good for a busy workshop .

Just call record and ask them .

so they can call it solid wood rather than a veneer , even though the solid bits are loads of crap glued together .

You will need to remove the guards and riving knife to do grooves so will be removing all the safety features in place so you dont cut your hands off .
You will need to do that on any saw regardless of price .

That is a beast !

I use Flickr for photos .

From memory and looking at the centour pdf's i dont think you can have five sliding . It has to be four and one or even numbers to slide one way . I guess they want one side roller the other side lock . Make sure the door will fit both , i'm not sure you can as the lock will foul the roller when rec...

Record power now sell this machine as thier own so maybe contact them ? Ive always found tech support very helpful so ask for that when calling .

Keith . I have ply templates for one in my workshop if you want to borrow them to copy route the components .

Nice work on the Sapele one ! The extra supports on the back of the arms is a good idea .

So take your router and cut a new rebate for the aquamac 21 ( cutter here https://www.axminster.co.uk/axcaliber-weather-seal-cutter-for-aquamac-21-wiping-seal-666074 ) The 63 is used between the doors to take up the gap the hinges leave but there is also a cutter for that https://www.axminster.co.uk...

It looks like aquamac 63 on the edge of the doors , not 21 and it doesnt get recessed into a grove . It does seem like its hard to close the doors when first fitted but at least that part is correct . Sorry i wasnt able to help with the project , had a lot going on with my parents over the last few ...

The other two look like pig stickers without the wooden handles .

Get a hairdressers chair and remove the seat bit .

Or just buy a new coffee machine and put it there .

Cant beat making a jig . Nice work .

For future reference southern yellow pine can be bought as wide boards . Normally used for stair strings this wide .

Have you tried Wurth for Grass draw runners ? Wurth bought Grass years ago .

Been toying with the idea of getting one just because i like machines .
Done a bit of reading and it seems they are a bit sh*t . Any one used one ?

Dab a wet tea bag over it .

So , did you buy it ?

Any pictures of the work you have done with it ?

Cooksley where from my local area and a big player in machine making . My latest spindle moulder has a cooksley plate on it aswell as a wadkin plate ( its a wadkin ) so i assume they where also a seller for other machines aswell as making their own .

Nope , by hand and eye .

Colin C is your man .

The first one was proper pants though
