His website specifically warns about that issue in the "Shop" pages. The BTF Parting Tool Holder works on lathes that are able to run safely in reverse, please note, it is unsuitable for lathes that use a screw on chuck unless they have a locking feature. Rgds - Gavin

Amen to that, manufacturing in Oz is dying out due to low cost stuff flooding the market from China & India, this bloke is making a living and supplying a market that has few options apart from imported kit - as far as I can see his prices are not over the top in terms of the local market...

She's gargling at the moment - the full song will be along soon. I should hear the cheers from Bob from my place........

Bob I have some Loctite 620 if you still need it. I'm at Aberfoyle Park and on 0412 519 776. Yell out if you need to use it. Rgds - Gavin

Bugger! Commiserations Bob.

Good to see you back on deck Bob. Rgds - Gavin

Bob, good luck with the next step, it looks very fiddly. Luckily you have the Mk1 version of the plate to practice on (or did that end up embedded in the waif?)

I take it that said waif is now singing with a very high pitched voice? Rgds - Gavin

And peace and quiet.......

Why do you think they've shut the line down, they're still looking for a couple of missing wheels.
