General Discussion / Re: CL4 and VSLK replacement units
« Last post by Twisted Trees on May 01, 2024, 07:17:27 PM »
Not any help really but there is a complete CL4 with VLSK on Ebay currently listed at £550 and no one has bid on it. As RP are unwilling to guarantee the replacement from 4 years ago if you want to stay with the CL4 it may be a better bet (could have been a Tuesday morning job!) If you are looking to change the £400+ is a fair chunk of change towards a replacement.

General Discussion / CL4 and VSLK replacement units
« Last post by Dave Wraight on May 01, 2024, 04:26:16 PM »
I always knew my Record CL4 was a Friday afternoon job! I had problems right from the start with fittings then 4 years ago just within the 5 year guarantee period the drive shaft sheared off therefore needing a new VSLK speed unit. Now that is playing up and RP now tell me there was no extra guarantee time on that  so suggest a new VSLK unit at £400+. Any suggestions welcome.

For Sale / Wanted / Woodturning equipment for sale
« Last post by RichardP on May 01, 2024, 09:46:24 AM »
I need to sell my father's woodturning equipment which has not been used for about 7 or 8 years. I have attached photos of the following items: 1  Record Power RPLB 24-48 Lathe Stand; 1 Record Power CL3 36 X 30 Lathe; 1 Clarke Metalworker Bench Grinder - Model No. CBG6RC; 1 Record Power Bench Grinder - Model No. SM155; 1  Woodster 2 Bandsaw Model No. BS412 with attached vacuum.
I would prefer to sell these items as a job lot but would consider selling individual items. They would need to be collected from Broadstairs, Kent. Any offers considered, please contact me to discuss. Many thanks.

I also have woodturning tools for sale and will post separately about these.

Good luck with the demo and safe travels. It's a bit far for me so I won't be there!
I watched your video a few days ago, I might have a go at that some time :)

Tool tips & reviews / Re: Nelson Chisels

They are a fairly standard cheap set of tools but will get you started in fact some of them you will not get round to replacing for 20 years or so.

The angle will be whatever you like to use but as a starting point

Left to right right 45° 45° 25° 25° 80° not sure, hate these and don't use them. 25° 45°

My preference

45° 50° 15° 15° Neg rake 60/20, in the bin, 25° 45°

Did you find a manual for the Euro 2000? I also have a lathe without a manual.

Hi everyone, not been on here for ages but just managed to set up my new lathe and was wondering if you could help.

Wife bought me a set of Nielsen gouges as a present but I can't seem to find a guide on sharpening angles/jigs or the like. They're not the same angles or shape as others on the market so wanted to know if you guys had any ideas?

I'll add a link so you can see what I'm on about.

Cheers, Gav.
