Thanks Swarfmaker and other respondents. I did as suggested and used the advanced search facility and was able to see they do sell free machining steel grade 1214. It's just not listed in the steel...

OK thanks for the suggestions. I will check them out and let you know how I go.

I am trying to buy some 1215 grade free machining steel in a few sizes. Maybe some round bar, some flat and some square in various smallish sizes. My local steel merchant (Mascot Steel) were unable...

Got my saw home last week and plugged it in and tried it out as is. The blade is shot and the bronze bushes the the round bar rides in are very sloppy. But it works as it should and after fitting new...

Just jumped on the Lotze bandwagon. Bought the one on ebay. $77 sight unseen. Here's hoping it's a goodun. No doubt I will have some questions when I get it home. Anyone have an idea of total weight?...

Thanks Kryn. It turns out the welders are not SIP they are Mech Pro which is the Repco house brand according to the customer service guy. He sent me a limited spec sheet which gives only the barest...

After a store visit and subsequent phone call to customer service, I have confirmed that the welders listed in their online catalogue are on sale at 60% off even though some are not listed in the...

Repco are saying they have 60% off their welders at the moment.As far as I can see they stock SIP welders. Can anyone tell me if the welders they sell are any good? They don't give any model numbers...

Thanks.I will do as you suggest.

Can anyone tell me where I might buy a decent flat blade engineers scraper in Sydney? I would like to learn to scrape so eventually I might be able to tackle the ways on my lathe. I can't seem to...

No answer from Roton other than an auto generated reply promising a follow up from sales.Gave up after a few weeks. Have ordered some metric screw with a matching nut from TEA in Brisbane. Hopefully...

I had the same problem with Roton ( couldn't get an answer on shipping costs, emails ignored) and funnily enough it was for the same thing.threaded rod to replace my cross slide screw. If you don't...

Thanks Franco those sleeve nuts look interesting.I will chase them up this week and let you know how I get on. I might even get a length of matching screw thread as well its only $10 a foot. Thanks.

Thanks to all for the replies. Rusty I am afraid I am a novice turner and the fix you describe is definitely beyond me at this stage.Franco, I have already made one from acetal and while after...

I have an old Brackenbury and Austin lathe which needs a new cross slide nut. It is 1/2 inch 8 TPI acme thread I think. Does anyone know if there is a Hercus or other equivalent nut that I might be...
