BP-430 is Taiwanese, BP-470 is Chinese, BP-480 is Taiwanese.
I am sure OAV is manufacturer of BP-430 and BP-480, cant remember who is manufacturer for the BP-470, would have to look it up but it is...

One thing I forgot, in a workshop press with single cylinder in the middle you may experience some rotation of the tool as you lower to the job. You may need to adapt some type of guide that prevents...

If you are looking to bend sheetmetal and plate, dont forget to work out what die opening you might need for material thickness.
This will sort of dictate what you can use in your press. You have 20...

Hmmm.
I say, regardless of all the pro and cons well and truly explained and then argued, if its meant to run on 15 amp then run it on 15 amp. Manufacturers surely dont put it there just to have a...

personal preference really.
I have not used those in particular, but have used many of both types in many hand drills and drill presses and lathes.

I prefer keyed in drill presses and lathes,...

Scribbly gum has pretty well got it spot on, it will take a little time to see the flow on effect as old stock has to be sold before new stock arrives at better prices. There could be a little sweet...

you could try boyar tool co. I have never dealt with them but my understanding is they have a range of different collet types they can get, dont know about osborn though.
they have a website...

And I forgot to mention in response to a couple of posts.
Nobody should have to "push" for replacements, just call and ask, you should be supplied with them, we could fit them, it may not be...

I have already stated what we are doing with regards to the brakes in some detail so wont do it again.
As I have previously said, there is a phone number in the warning letter to call, if you would...

Hi all,
Not sure if this is the right place for this, but it seemed the most appropriate.

I am writing this open letter of apology at the suggestion of Dave J who has raised a very important...

Hi Retro,
I am very dissapointed at the service and responses you have received from Sydney, and I completely understand you loss of confidence in the Hare and Forbes company as a whole.
If I...

hi dave,
at the risk of getting myself a warning letter I will state the following:
All schools and government related departments, industries and workshops who have machines with this problem will...

Hi retro,
it will be an asong, we (hare and forbes) carry some parts for them. If its still under warranty we should fix it if it just simply broke down in service.
Like I said in posts about...

Dave, I owe you a small apology. Some of my reference in previous post should have been directed atr retromilling when he said I am full of it. Plese, accept my apology, should have concentrated more...

Hi All,
Dave, I knew that any previous post I made before I stated I work for Hare and Forbes would be pulled up one day to throw #### in mine and the companies face, so no hard feelings.
I know...

it seems this guy offended you?
$5 for 5 rods seems over the top, but once he breaks a packet (or already has a broken packet) it could take him some time to sell them off 1 by one, and they will...

This time round, call an electrician and live, save your freshly rewound motor from an untimely death should you get it wrong.
Next time round, mark where everything goes before you pull it apart,...

100 psi sounds right for steers, to work it out you can check the load rating of the tyre and reference against a chart that will allow you to work out what pressure to inflate to for the given load...

does tank get any pressure in it? Gauges can stop working, ports can block (not common but can happen) etc etc.
Maybe you just need a new head, possibly could get new head with decent displacement...

try emailing Hercus direct at [email protected] and see what answer you get. The company still exists, just doesnt do much anymore.
May be explain to them how you came to get the machine.

by...

if you are wanting to do it quickly, the biggest problem you may have is the compressor tank and the truck tyre may end up equilizing in pressure due to the truck tyre holding similiar volume of air...

The B was used to differentiate between different machines, I think sourced through different agent (dont quote me on that I am not 100% sure) and I think different manufacturer. There is more than 1...

Hi Ray,
I am a little confused, is it the HM-52 or HM-52B that you are wanting to start with?
Reason I ask is, yes, they are different manufacturers. Yes, there was 1 container load of them some...

nope:U

we do learn about what we are selling, the range of products on offer is quite large and to correctly recall every specification can be tricky. That is why if we are not sure we have to check, as has...

They have been fitted to them for a while now, just wasnt noted in the catalogue.
Catalogues went to print last year before machines started having them fitted.

As for retro fit, I think it can...

good luck with it zac.
that sort of stuff I was describing doesnt seem to happen too much these days I dont think, some "jokes" became serious incidents causing serious injuries in the mid to late...

the ever elusive left handed screwdriver, hammer, just about any other handtool imaginable- never fell for those.

boot full of grease at 5am is a nice way to start the day- but I got him back,...

dont let them get you to go looking for a long weight, that was the one that got me.
long weight is what i got, thats for sure.

to add to the last thing I said, my spanners are all sidchromes, my shifter a mix of sidchrome and irega.
I spent some tome working with trucks, some of the sidchrome spanners in the larger sizes...

there are pipe spanners for that, they are sort of like an open end spanner but are the hex shape and are cut away just enough out of the hex to slip over the pipe size relevant to the hex size of...

I take your references to the hare and forbes website description as "taking th episs" a little.
In all honesty dave, with the troubles you had with runout, maybe you should have purchased the...

fitting and machining is a very broad trade, you could end up as a maintenenace fitter, toolmaker, fluid power, cnc programmer or operator. I could probably answer all your questions but it would...

im not so sure about using the side of the wheel. I was taught to and always have used the face of the wheel for everything, drill bits, chisels, scribe points, taking off burrs etc.
actually, ...

takai you are correct, you can, I dont disagree,but the cost can outweigh the benifits for some to have this range on hand.
HSS, just grind up the tool on the grinder to whatever you require, not as...

beleive it or not, nose radius, relief angle actually matter if trying to acheive a recognised surface finish on a job, that would be why i think, without reading all the posts

I know very little about knife making, but i have heard of guys using multitool attachment on an 8" grinder to do it.
the L107 is slow speed, meant for use with wood.
not sure how effective it...

Hi bob,
I can understand wanting closure, as you say, you have done nothing wrong.
I hope it gets resolved sooner rather than later for your sake.

I have been watching this bob and it would seem that all you have to put up with is well above and beyond what a customer should need to.
this should have been resolved by now, well and truly.
it...

horadic,
I agree, I suggest people get their own quotes for transport.
We offer it (Hare and forbes) as part of the service but rates are determined by those whom we have accounts with, and we run...

there will most likely be a difference in quality. The sutton may be a better grade, may also have a percentage of cobalt in it that will help keep the cutting edge sharp for longer, but is a bit...

a short note to give some insight into the shipping.
Here in BRISBANE we offer several different methods of delivery, these are the most common:

as far as leadscrew goes I would have to check that one.

RC, it depends which machine. Some yes we can request spec from manufacturer, others no we do not and we supply what we import. All the same, lathe manufacturers will produce several different spec...

yes the manuals on the smaller gear are not the best I have to agree. It is mostly the smaller machines that lack in detail, which unfortunately are the type of machines that land in peoples garages...

Hi Big Shed,
I cant speak for the other branches or the people that work in them.
Here in Brisbane, it is normal for us to accept an order for something we dont have and not require a deposit...

if your machine and budget allow and you want to do it the easy way without having to sharpen up tools when they dull then go for indexable iso standard...
