A supplier of several variable speed (mechanical belt cones) lathes including Jet models here in UK recommends a Dry PTFE spray for the belts and headstock end shafts and pulleys.

I have started making some rests up of a modular nature, adding top plates,extensions etc. as I need to meet a particular support need, they are not welded, just bolted together with good quality 6mm...

Thanks for the update on UKW John, will keep a watch on Janets progress and your stay in Aus.

Not too critical in that case rrser, as the glue edges will be thin, it's just a case of reducing the amount of flex in the adhesive. If it is too thick then even a small amount of flex gets...

OK so a would the description of the Construction of Wooden One satisfy you Shane?

Talking to someone who regularly scraped old barges by burning (before the days of pollution control) he immediately came up with this list from memory. Not definitive but a good guide.

Well Shane if we oldies need such info. We start off with a Google which turns up something like this for example for a narrow gauge version.

No doubt there are details of timber construction...
