used to have to pick up a cwt sack of sugar and balance it on a container about 1'6" by 1'6" at the top by about 4 feet high, then cut it open and tip it all in.112 lbs or 8 stones.. We didn't go foreign until after I left skool. And now we is out of the eu all you youngsters will have to learn imperial.
it was the standard weight for a lot of sacked/bagged stuff
Is it one of those Chinese mini lathes?Mid-morning All
Another late rising here
This has to stop, just because I am now an official pensioner is no real excuse for tardiness.
No snow here.
My new lathe is kaputski and in pieces on the work bench. The drive system is in need of some re-design as it chews belts and spits them out again. The toothed pulleys aren't properly aligned, the belt just destroys itself trying to break free and climb the side wall of the drive pulley and they have made it so tight that it strips the teeth away and puts undue stress on the main spindle bearings. Not good at all in this respect.
I will see what I can do to resolve it with some proper alignment, a new (longer) belt and some form of tensioner.
Have a great day everyone.
That's disappointing.
