lead

So My chuck is 1" x 8 tpi and I'm after a insert to fit this to a T12 lead screw but I can't find one for the love of money. So I was thinking of buying something like this Axminster Woodturning Chuck Hub - M33 x 3.5mm But solid so I can drill out the back to 12 mm and tap a grub screw into it...

Finished my 50 pens for the cancer center today. I will deliver them tomorrow. If there is a next time I want more lead time. And if anyone counts these there is only 49. The last one was on the lathe.

This will not power a lead from me to you :rolling: but it has served me faithfully for around thirty years. Silent running and ever so accurate voltage control that allows running a computer or a bore pump. Specs not given purely to keep a promise to show it. The Telstra Organisation called it...

Not sure where this should go so put it here. They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & Sold to the tannery.......if you had to do this to survive you were "Piss Poor" But worse than that were the really poor folk who...

I have purchased 4 SIERRA PENCIL KITS from Penkits UK. Just turned one and I am not happy with it or I am doing something wrong on assembling. When you eventually get the lead out you cannot turn it back. How and where do you store spare leads. Anyone had experience of these pens. Glen:sob::sob:

Hi, Guys, Went metal detecting today, and once again was amazed at the objects that find their way into fields. When I dug this up I promptly dropped it again, thinking I'd unearthed a relative of Golem! It was actually a casting of a monkey, and covered in mud as it was I thought it to be a...
