Hi Mick, Sigh, sure did :-(. Problem is at my current level of ignorance / inexperience I really don't know what a good one is. Is spending $10+ for one from, say Enco, a "good one". Sigh, much to

Found them at a "Dollar Store" I just happened to see as I was running errands. I don't even remember the name but I do remember where it is :-). These abound here in Seattle (popular because cost of

Wow, what a pile of messages to wake up to :-)! Upon the recommendation of John at GadgetBuilder I tried the pinhole in a piece of kitchen aluminum foil which works really well to improve the original

G'day Vikki, When you first reported on your laser edge finder developments you said the beam size was disappointing. I take it from your pictures that you have managed to narrow the beam. Did you use

Andrew The pound shops have a laser level for ?1, uses 2 x AAA cells. It is a spot laser shining through a prism to give a vertical line and has the push on, push off switch. see ebay item

Hi All, It seems HF made it official – you can buy the 8x lathe 44859 as a Special Order item though their stores. Several members noted they were able to do this using the 30% of coupon. My local

Hi Vicky, Sorry about the tap,but you did learn a valuable lesson concerning cheap tools.. I have an ulterior motive for replying to you! Where did you find the design for your centre finder? Thanks
