AWR feels it's had enough exposure.

UK? Woodturning

US? Woodturning Design or AWT. What do you think Reed?

Does that mean Sorby don't advertise enough in AWR?

Wouldn't have thought so Fred.

Aus WWer has done a piece already (as posted).

And I've shared my stuff here for nix. (That said, in librarian's terms I'd call my posts ephemera.)

And the unit's been on the market for what, 5 years now?

Have done some work with bench chisels and one plane blade. Results reported here:

Other than that:

1. Grindings promote rust on bare metal on this unit and while that does nothing to compromise its functioning I hate rust anywhere and have learned to clean and treat more regularly than with any other machine in the workshop.

2. Thesandpaperman now offers replacement belts. Have spent some time with the ceramic #120 and found the joint to be less proud than the equiv. Sorby-supplied belt and my impression is that it didn't last quite as long - I wasn't measuring.
