Hey I recently got one of these lathes. The belt is snapped on it tho. Would u know what size belt the lathe takes? Thanks.

👍

*Very* similar to one I purchased from Axminster apart from a few minor upgrades. Improved live & drive centres, sprung fixtures, but more importantly the spindle is 1x8tpi and there's a switch on the control box to run it in reverse. Very handy for sanding. It's been a great little lathe, and yours also looks like a solid little machine 👍🏻

Enjoyed the cat at the end

Good job thx for sharing enjoyed it Keep building Cheers

You've got a nice size shed there, my friend.

Thanks David, after a shaky start those spiral blades worked a treat, ideal for how you have the saw set up, you could just do with the power button on the front side for convenience is it an nor or could you turn it on via an extension ?

You need to watch John Mcgrath man in shed video on using the disc blade on your grinder .

Good to see you still use gt85 great stuff mate

Nice video mate, iam the same always mi's placing the router spanner

Thanks David for letting us potter in the workshop with you. All the best mate.

Thank you David

Lovely catch up Dave, all the best!

Hi David, hope your well, You can get some great bargains in Lidl and Aldi in the middle isles, never know what you can find for the workshop. I bet your happy you got the scroll saw up and running again, just a good rub down and a bit of spay oil. I use on my metal surfaces is 3 in 1 spray oil which is made by the WD40 group or my home made oil rag in a can. I used a half size can ( empty beans can ) rolled up an old pair of socks tight in side and I used some 10w/40 motor oil and rub down with that, over the winter months. As always a great video, take care mate

I always love the videos and hence click the like button, but you really earned the like for the exploding scroll saw. :)

Great video like the new disc Thanks for sharing your time David 🍺🍺👍👍

Hi David. I got this exact machine a few years ago. I've been using the cnc, but want to install the laser engraver. Do you have a link to the software please?

why is it sagging in the middle?

Great review thank you. Any idea where you can get replacement discs for the angle grinder? 🙏

I Never Heard Of Ferrex Powertools. I'm Not To Facinated With Off Brand Powertools. I'm A Ryobi Man Cause Ryobi Don't Have Any Plans On Changing Their Battery Platform & I'm Very Pleased With That.

Thank you, solid review with handy explaination, cheers

Be a good idea to remove all jewellery when in the workshop, including watch. That jangly bracelet is looking for trouble !

What type gun will use staples & brads?

Well done David. Looking forward to your next video

TBH I never trust the laser guides anyway. Never found one that is acurate enough. Cheers.

What a refreshing Channel this! Crackin good content mate, cheers from ‘Across the Pond!’ Amazing it sells for such a bargain PRICE! 😯 👍✌

Super handy little tool and great value. Ps: The 4AH batteries work perfectly well with it, giving you double the life and a bit of extra power. One minor negative is they stick out a bit when mounted in the tool.

Lovely job. PS Tommy wants his dinner

The 45 degree cut was very impressive

Looks like a very solid well made tool

Nice cherry tree and you are blessed to have the birds....any noise a small price to pay for their presence.

You can check it's brushless by watching thro the holes around the motor as you turn it on and off. If sparks, it's not brushless...if no sparks it is brushless. I imagine it IS indeed brushless and that the instructions are the same for different models.

Great information, thanks.

Dave, If you cut the wood in front of you going right to left, you will have more base on the wood, and be more stable, using it the way you are, you have very little support for the saw and your cut will be out of square, if you put thre fence on the other side, fence face to the narrow side the saw will be on more wood

David, what about the riving knife?

sounds like the birds were mowing the grass.

you should have tommy the cat in your opening. he needs to be on your channel more. i like him and so does my daughter.

You say 39.99 BUT without the battery and charger , so if you get it all it is not that cheap as you say 🙄🙄🤦‍♂🤦‍♂👎👎it only good if you use that junk like 1 or 2 times a year , get a Makita one man 😁😁👍👍that is just a waste of money

Good review Daivid, thank you. I thnk I have watched this video about 3 times now! Simple no nonsense and to the point with interesting pros and cons. Plus no background music! I am seriously considering one of these as my Parkside has finally died. I was looking at the wattage though and wondering if it is enough. All I do is turn finials about 3" inches diameter and 3.5 inches long from treated wood. The Parside was 500W where as this is only 220W I think. I wondered if you saw much difference? Also if the old ones had more plastic bits on it is it the same model number? I want the one like yours with metal components. Keep up the good work David and thank you again.

Hiya David. I think the laser is faulty. I bought the previous version of this saw from Aldi last year and it’s extremely similar to this model, slightly different handle and blade guard. The laser just switches on and off with no faffing about. I actually like it a lot. It’s cheap but pretty accurate and powerful. I bought mine to cut down timber at merchants to fit in my car. It’s performed faultlessly and I only paid£70 with 5ah 40 volt battery and charger. Love your channel and wee Tommy.

It most definitely is brushless Dave, those instructions are cheaply generic. That laser is so much poncing about, but if there is a prescribed method for getting it to stay on, they certainly don't tell you in the so-called 'instructions'. Also, what's that screw for that goes into the side of the laser? I thought it might be for laser adjustment. It seemed strange at first, having the blade on the left-hand-side (going forward), but I quickly became used to it. Most circular saws are left-hand-thread on the blade. Anyway, I enjoyed the video, thanks. All in all, it's not refined like the expensive brands but I think it's pretty robust and is designed to last a while, especially given the brushless motor and the fact they give you a 24 tooth blade, I think they're expecting you to give it quite a hammering. We'll see. Have subscribed.

Hi David, hope your well, good review on the Ferrex battery circular saw and putting it through it's paces. As always a great video, catch you soon Take care

Great video David !!! Nice Tool

I ziptied a covid mask over my motor to act as a filter whilst also still allowing airflow

I don't think I could stand the noise.

Lovely project Dave, thank you for sharing.

Thanks... honest appraisal... angle grinder with fine discs a better option I'd say.

David, what make is your table saw out of interest?

Another terrific project, David. Thanks for sharing. I do have a question, though. It looks to me that you used soft wood. My experience is that no way could you use all those mortise and tenons and keep the carcass square without extensive surface planing beforehand. What’s your secret?

Well done David
