    why?

    Speeeed

    I had a "proper" look at my lathe today and see it has 5 pullies (top & bottom). My belt is on the 3rd pulley. I know by moving the belt to a different pulley will alter the speed. I have 3 questions related to that. 1) Which way do I change the belt on the pulley to to speed it up and to slow...

    Band saw motor replacement.

    Recently I have had a motor fail on my bandsaw. Its an SIP 14" which isn't that old and everything is working well apart from the motor. It has two speed via the belt change, I tend to use it on the high speed most of the time, however when I do change to low speed it always seems too slow for...

    Vote to Help me

    Since showing my invention of the colour changing pens and calling them Mystic Pens some have said they should be called Mood Pens. Help me to decide if I should change the name. Just indicate YES or NO if I should change the name. Glen:thinks:

    Another Amazing Pen

    Another African Blackwood heat sensitive. The wood changed from black to this colour after being in my pocket for about 5min. There is a choice of 6 colours it could change into depending on how long the heat is applied. When the pen cools down it goes back to black. Glen
