Today I acquired...........

I got a Stanley Oisin multi fuel stove from FB marketplace locally this evening.

Recent new set of bricks etc none of them cracked. £120

It will be perfect for a summerhouse I plan on building with steel and timber this summer. Poke an insulated flue through the roof and bobs your teapot.

On about stoves, mine'll be here Tuesday. I'm not getting excited. Honest. :whistle:

Oak beam is coming that day too.

Did you have a stove before or is this your first one?

They are fantastic, wouldn't be without one! So efficient and warm.

Is it a Bosch green one yeah?

In this flat, the first one. Opened up the original fireplace opening, so there's a small range going in there.

I've got one of those, a useful item, would be even more useful if they had made it slightly longer so that it would fit across a 4' sheet!

Me too - with exactly the same thought on its length (as I went to use it as a guide for cutting a ply sheet only last week)

No 21mm taper it looks like and the collet will take less, but should be fairly easy to bore out to 20-22mm and shrink fit an er40 in there, if the extra stick out is acceptable.

Looks like it attaches to 25mm bar.

Sorry to say I found it a bit cheaper. I was hoping there would be one on prime but its not, and bit more of a risk with amazon 3rd party sellers vs ebay.

There's always a better deal! I don't subscribe to Amazon so have saved money that way LoL.

I stripped mine down today. The spindle is 25mm outside diameter. So an ER straight shank collet holder will drop in with a small slot for the Woodruff key and a 25 x 1mm thread for the locking rings.

I have a 1" x 100mm (!) ER25 collet holder which is slightly too short but I think I can make it work so probably buy next length up to be on the safe side.

Can confirm that the holder expects a 25mm mounting bar not 1"

Hope this helps.

A cheapie from AliExpress to put on the lathe and as a backup for the mill.

Happy here

Works with my Vevor TTL scale, just waiting on my cheapie mag scale to arrive next week before deciding on either another mag scale or a glass one for the X.

Did your Vevor scales come with little adapter plugs with a purple LED in them? Mine did but they work just as well with them or without so I left them off.

RichardM · Mar 1, 2024

I only have one, bought it when they were selling them off to experiment with. Yes it does have the in/out plug, don't know what it's for though!

These possibly need their own thread. Watched a couple of videos and found it needs another attachment for flute grinding, this sort of thing,

I am wondering if the original can be modified for both functions by removing the index pin, a longer shaft and adding a follower.. for flutes wouldnt need a threaded end for the indexing bits. I havebt disturbed the bearings yet.

If you have it fully disassembled could you get some photos of it please?

Also thinking er chucks would have too much stickout and instead I may bore some exact size sleeves for which the cutter can be temporarily superglued into.
