Hi. Does anyone know where I can get some good cricket bat handle blanks?
I would like to repair a couple of bats for my son over winter and am looking for uncut and unbound blanks that I can shape...

I'm in

Yep. Gave them a call and got told "either product should be ok for guitar". That didn't really fill me with confidence so I asked about can sizes with a view to trying some of each.
Minimum can...

Thanks for the link China. I'll give them a call.
Any opinions out there from other builders who may have sprayed Mirotec WB?
I note that that they list two products in the range, a furniture and a...

Hi Guys. I need some advice please.
I can't seem to find an Australian source for any locally produced waterborne clear finish, labelled as suitable for instrument finishing.
I can, of course,...

I have done this, but converted the whole machine to imperial. It works fine. I used the gearbox, apron, leadscrew, leadscrew bracket, top and cross slide feed screws and drive train gears from my 9a...

Seems a little over priced to me, however, what it's worth to you is the issue here. I've just been through the process of finding a Hercus 9"AR on the east coast and I would certainly have...

Thanks Jordan,
I checked, they don't have one. I have a Myford thread revolving centre off my old lathe. If it comes to it, I'll make up a threaded adapter for the Hercus chuck. Probably be a good...

Hi all,
Has anyone used any Boxford parts on your Hercus 9"? I'm particularly interested in the spindle nose thread. From what I've read, the only difference being Hercus is 60 deg and Boxford is 55...

Hi Guys,
The belt is an XL240, 1" (XL profile, 24" X 1"). Brand of mine is "Optibelt". I got it through "Taree Bearing and Engine Parts" (Taree NSW), but any bearing supplier can source this belt....

Good to see you sorted your machine issues. For anyone needing one in the future, I too was looking for a TGS172 belt. Sourced it through my local bearing supplier. They had to order it in for me and...

Very useful advice, thanks guys.
Is there a simple way to tell if a 260 is the high precision version?
A code stamped on the machine somewhere perhaps?
From what I've read so far, it seems that I...

Thanks Jordan. That's exactly the sort of advice I'm looking for. Mal at AMH has some very good CTM 260's at present. I'm thinking to get a really good CTM and convert to ATM might be easier than...

Thanks for the advice. My ML7 doesn't have a clutch, and it would certainly be nice. I was thinking of travelling down the Super 7 path for that reason, but the spindle bore size on the Hercus 260 is...

I'm looking at replacing my Myford ML7 with a Hercus 260, fundamentally get a more useful spindle bore size and slightly larger overall capacity. I've had the Myford for a few years now and have...
