G'Day Brian,
I am sorry for not being able to help as quickly as I would have like to, but when the old laptop crashed it was a matter of just shoving in CD's and saving what I could so I am sure...

Hi Gang, Just joined up.
I'm also looking for the SC160 manual but this is an old thread.
Can any one help me out?
Thanks,
Brian

G'Day Brian,

G'Day Woodborer,
Yes I too have had the same experience, the last time was in the leadlight thread, offered all the help and a big fat nothing, so frustrating.

G'Day Wheelinround,
small world!..just checked out the P.C.Y.C. site, are you in any of the pic's?...I live around the corner from there, if you want to pop around for a quick cuppa your welcome,...

G'Day Noel,
Not being a smart @rse, but may be your mate could give you some ideas for woodies in similar situations via yourself!.....:2tsup:

I guess it's like when you need something to hold a piece of wood a certain way, you make a jig for the job, so if we hear of a members problem maybe we can devise a way around it and make life a bit...

G'Day Iain,
As far as dropping things on the floor I use one of those little plunger type reaching tools that you get for a few $'s at Super Cheap, you know the sort, you hold it like a syringe and...

I think that would be a good idea, you do not have to be in a wheelchair or blind to be disabled (no offence to those who may be in these situations as I was just showing an example) but I am sure...

G'Day Malfie,

I went with my son, (he went last year with his school) he gave me some pointers as to what was what, met Neil and Pauline, saw some cool stuff and excellent work, spent a few bucks and had a feed....

Funny the Milwaukee young lady gets a mention, when I walked past, there was a life size cardboard cut-out next to all of the tools. After nearly falling over gawking at it, low and behold standing...

G'Day W/D,
I have had two in the time that I have been welding, the first one was a little K-Mart one for about $150. It lasted several years and a lot of welding, but sadly it gave up the ghost in...

Hopefully I'll be there with my son on the Saturday, if not it will be the Sunday.:)

G'Day All,
I have just changed the oil in my lathe and was unsure what to use, so I looked to see what I had on hand. I ended up using 90W hypiod diff oil and it seems to be O.K. as it does not...

Great guy's two good site's bookmarked both, thanks!....

Yxoc, firstly welcome, secondly I was/am in the same "boat" as yourself in that I have only high school skills and I'm knocking 51. I found a need to do most of my stuff in metal and shied away from...

Very true!...I can only relate to the sound of automotive wheel bearings on the way out, and only personal experience at that.:-

G'Day Tiger,
I am by no means an expert on lathes, let alone mechanics but a first guess would be a bearing starting to disintegrate. Is it making a low grumbling sound with an intermittent...

Got them today!..Many thanks, will be proud to wear them!...:U:2tsup:

We had 15 set into the back room and set them on three row's with the middle row having 1 extra so they could be set in a staggered pattern. Each row has it's own switch and to have one row on is...

Yes! I understand I think!...I have read a little on the pro's and con's of the angled grind of the tip, there seems to be merits and drawbacks of a square grind to an angled grind. I guess I'll just...

Just wishing all of the Mum's out there a Happy Mothers Day!.....:brava:fireworks::balloons::band:

Thanks again for the very interesting information and drawings, I will have a go at making my own and see how it works out.:U:2tsup::U:2tsup:

O.K. I had a fiddle around today with the recommended angles and I now have a parting tool that actually parts. I found that I had to put slight angle on the sides to give clearance and it stopped...

Thank you Article99, I am doing O.K. with the diamond files, and have thought about the power hacksaw blades but didn't know how to fix them securely nor how to fabricate a holder. It would be great...

Thank you Woodlee, I'll give it a go tomorrow and let you know how I go!....:)

P.S. a greenie for your help and quick reply, as I'm in the middle of a job and it's a real bugger without it.

Hi! All,
I have a question that I hope someone can answer for me, when I bought my lathe I also bought a set of basic cutting tools. They are of the indexable T/C type, due to my beginners...

Hi! Neil,
Hope you got my order for one of each?..

Hi Stu,
Nice work on "Da Ball" I enjoyed watching them, and I love the idea of using the laser, as I turn wood and metal I will now use it on both. I use it to check the centers are aligned...

Hi!, Danger005,
I have thought of doing this to a pond pump (pool pump and cartridge filter) and a water tank pump both located close to each other. I have some off-cuts of that cool-room material,...

Hey Mick,
Do you think that product called "Pondtite" would work, it is the stuff for painting the inside of cement/concrete fish ponds. It's safe for fish so should be good for rain tanks, it seals...

We have have a kitchen reno done last year and in the old one the pantry was a double door unit, the new one is a slide-out and it works well, it is about 700mm W x 800mm D x 1200mm H. It carries a...

Good onya Jake!..:2tsup: ..don't forget to ask the boss if you can take home those old dirty machines so he can buy some nice new shiney one's!...:D

G'Day Makka619,

Just a thought, it may not be what your thinking of, but how about a medicine chest which is recessed into the wall so as not to be an obstacle, but still be practical. You would...

Hey Eddie,
What an interesting site, I spent about an hour browsing through the tips page and found it very informative, plus learned a little more about my hobby. Thanks and a greenie to...

No problem Nick, make sure to follow the instructions for the correct solution for the sugar soap as I think it is caustic from memory, and glue is slightly alkaloid, so one counter's the other and...

Hey Gumby, didn't you read the fine print?...Yes you have won a plasma tv and yes it will come in the mail, but 1 bit at a time, so keep your eyes open for your first knob or transistor. You might...

G'Day Nick,
I have removed my fair share of paper (I don't like it), I found that in your step 3. I would use liquid sugar soap, as this removes any remaining glue and is a good pre-work cleaner....

Great idea!..:2tsup: but I don't think my missus would like me using her $1200 Elna press!....:o

You mean like this banana?....:o

Gee!..Does that mean you are going to get a good probing before they kill you?..:rotfl::1eye::)( :yuk: :badair: :hump:
