Hi All, Steve, I wonder if it would be possible to move the photo posting topics to a separate thread? No worries if its too much trouble Mick, I cannot access the migwelding forum Its an easy enough job to plumb in the filter unit into the plastic tubing from the pump to the top of the gearbox I need to make a bracket to mount the filter head onto the machine, avoiding all the moving bits inside the end cover, I am using a unit bought from the local hydraulic parts supplier Dave, Yes the chucks are heavy !! I am going to mount an electric hoist on a rail over the lathe to lift them on and off Pete W, A man cannot have enough shed space !!, or a big enough lathe :headbang: --------------------- My other Lathe is an imperial only "Woodhouse and Mitchell" akin to one on this website, http://www.premiermachinetools.co.uk/ I converted mine to single phase, and upped the speeds by fitting a 2850rpm motor (it had a 3 phase single speed motor) Since I now work from home being "semi retired" I needed a lathe with metric capabilities as well as imperial I also looked at a Harrison but the spindle through hole was very small by comparison One of the common jobs I get asked do is skim brake drums on motorcycle wheels, these can be up to 22in outer diamater Regards John |

Trimmed out a couple of my photo recovery suggestion posts, the rest are I think germaine, helpful to others, and/or aren't mine to move or delete. |

About photos, I like the *.jpg format as it allows me to zoom in on any detail. Can't do this with the Photobucket pics. Re the chucks. Also have a similar problem with the Emco milling attachment on my Denford Viceroy 280. I will have to rig up some kind of block and tackle to remove it. It can be turned around so it is out of the way, but looks a bit odd stuck there. Dave. |

Hi Dave, Yes I dislike photobucket for the same reasons I was trying posting some reduced size photos bit they still were too big I will try and solve this over the weekend John |

John I take my pictures at hi resolution then use Windows Paint to reduce them to 640x480 it only takes seconds Right click the file, open with Paint, 'resize' tab to pixels, set 640 x 480 then save with a meaningful name as a jpg |
