Not sure were to ask this question, but I have a Otto Benz blowlamp (old)

I can log-in to WW Forum OK, but when I go to the metalwork forum it asks for a log-in to look

I've always said Deni is my hometown. :)

Not sure if it has already been put on the forum, but I just had an email from Coregas to say Bunnings in Victoria are selling their bottles. Trade N Go Gas I think it's sold as. Haven't checked how...

I'm a bit late on this, but I have one of these. Same motor as yours ( looks like) and flat belt pulley on motor.

I don't want to be pedantic, but we are in Australia and the word is a r s e :((

Thanks for the replies. It was pressed in and the coils are out (in pieces :wink:)
You were about right Stu.

Can anyone tell me what holds the stator in this motor. I'm trying to separate the (burnt) copper.:?319098319099319100319101at the same time seeing how things work.....maybe.

Thanks for the replies which I will pass on to the one with brains.:D

This thread is a good reminder to the likes of me, who does tend to get a bit lax.
I blame it on the time I came through (77yo:o) but that is no excuse, and like many
I work out in the shed alone...

Trying to work out the best way to power the shaper. Thought of getting 3 phase connected, but that may be too pricey. Cam (my son) says maybe a VFD. Is this possible with this motor?
Now to try to...

Welcome home. I use one of those rubber tipped doo dads messaging
on the phone, seems easier for this old bloke.:U

Doesn't look too bad to me, but I'm no expert. I've just re floored one worse than that.:rolleyes:

I bit the bullet and purchased the Carbatec guides. That has almost doubled the value of the saw :D

No joy at Hare Forbes (Melbourne) but will call at Carbatec.

Some photos of the beastie. The 4th is a bit blurred but shows the busted lower guide.

I didn't realise just how untidy the shed is.:B

Never heard of it, but a pic is always good.

I knew I should have put up a pic, will try to remedy.:U

Has anyone heard of KFF machines. I have a band saw which I came by a while ago
and it has rather flimsy blade guides and one is busted. I can't find anything on google
about this brand. Thought...

I gave Bunnings and co the flick long ago. Around here I don't think Economy Bolts
can be beaten.

I bought a box from Repco's ($32 I think) Mainly to please the family
although at 76 years the damage would have been done long ago.:U
They seem to work OK.

Waaay back in my young days the ( I think) the SEC workshops had pale green machines, supposed

You know you're in trouble when you tell your co-workers that you bought an Italian ( fill in relevant item - in my case older Ducati) and you get looks of horror from persons originating from that...

I won't tell you that the Alfa dropped a timing belt and is now in getting a new V6 fitted... something to do with bent valves... :)

I'm across your way almost daily at the moment, I'll surprise...

Great pictures, sorry I missed it. Really really would love to have my stuff neat and tidy like some of the tools there.:U

"Maybe you could PM me your phone number so we can communicate over the weekend if need be."

Phone number sent.

Joe, I didn't get anything from the auction, but if your stuck I could probably do the pick up and work it out from there. The only problem is I am on the other side of town from you.
