    That's a very generous offer - Thank you.

    I'll PM you for contact details - I've had the BGY sander for a few years now and have almost resigned myself to making one from scratch, so taking a look at a real one would be fantastic.

    Regards
    John

Thank you Rob - I really appreciate that you sent me notification via PM, rather than via a broadcast. I have no doubt I would not have picked it up for the same money if it been posted to the ebay thread.

    The lathe also has an interesting (to me at least) badge, featuring the Woodfast and Hyco logo's together. And I've never seen that before.

    edit...unfortunately I don't seem to be able to edit my original post to show that the part I have been looking for has been found...
    John,
    Rob told me about that last week.
    Great to see this working!
    Now....does the lathe you snaged have the pin assembly on the back of the headstock that locates in the dividing wheel?
    Mine came from a school where they must have removed it for safety reasons.
    This is a picture of the one on Rob's (Auscab) lathe.
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Were you at the TTTG tool sale?
    I sold heaps but still have abut 30 moulding planes and a similar number of turning tools
    which I will try in For Sale here.

    In my book there is nothing worse than someone offering you something, and then changing their mind. I have no problem with people not helping, but when you say you will help, you should follow through. I had no right to expect Henry to help me in my search for a mitre gauge for the Stenner, but when he offered me the Taiwanese beauty a few weeks ago I was very happy to finally have an option.Well long story short, I get a chance to visit Henry last week, and he decides he doesn't want me to have that mitre gauge any more................................










    Thats because he found the Barker one instead. This is a picture of this massive thing, I have put a standard 12" cabinet saw mitre next to it, to give you guys an impression of scale.



    We spent some time going over some catalogues that he has (he really does have a great collection), before he said to me, "Come out to the workshop, I've got something for you", when he showed me the Barker mitre instead, I was really shocked, I am not often lost for words, but this was one of those occasions, and I was worried Henry may mistake it as disappointment, it really did make my day!!!

    I don't have any pictures of a Stenner mitre gauge, but I imagine this would be very close to what it would have been, massive, heavy, and made to last.

    Now I have no excusses, so I need to start work on making that mitre bar to match the Stenners mitre slot.

    Henry, I have posted in a lot of forums and classifieds all over the world asking for help in finding a suitable mitre gauge. I was desperate enough, that Rob was even helping me look into getting a new one cast from a PK saw. You are very generous and I only hope that I can help you in the future as much as you have helped me.

    Cheers,

    Camo

    Camo, Henry is doing a great job in retirement spreading around top gear. Especially as he only has a small shed .

    Default Indexing pin for Woodfast lathe

    Peter - no pin on either of my lathes I'm afraid....both have the headstocks drilled to accept the assembly, but only one of the pulleys have been drilled for indexing.

    Might be worth looking on OWWM BOYD for Walker Turner parts (on which the Hyco/Woodfast is based)

    That Mitre gauge looks great Cam, just the thing.
    A little bit of sleight of hand and you'll have that legion of Stenner owners all believing it was original.

    You have no excuse not to get it finished.
    Well other than trying to make a living and finish off all those other machines you have. Just like the rest of us.

    Have fun,
    Alli

    For future reference, if anyone finds a source of Woodfast indexing pins, be aware that there are a couple of sizes.
    The one I have appears to be a bit bigger than the one shown earlier.

    This photo is of another Woodfast pulley for comparison.

    Those were the droids I was looking for.

    Hi John,

    I realise this post is a little old, however, if you're still looking for the Hyco Scroll Saw part let me know. I have a spare Hyco that was dismantled into parts (all of it wasn't originally there).

    Regards,
    Raymond.

    Camo, is this what you're looking for? I bet you wish, I found it without the machine. If you need any information it's now at my fingertips.

    Is that the Stenner or Wadkin JTA fence? Either way Camoz is probably going to top himself - just to ease the pain .
