Heeeeeelp!

I'm really annoyed with our Aud. I brought that underwear for her as a special Suprise. I just can't belive that she would pose for such a photo and have it shown on here

If all else fails Phil you may be able to cut it off with an angle grinder and cutting disk (carefully)

Well, here's the progress report.
A repeated search for any kind if retaining device has failed.
Freezing has failed.
Heating has failed.
Any combination of heating/cooling/anti-siezing additives have failed.
Locally obtainable pullers aren't large enough.
Local garages don't have pullers large enough.
Local engineering firm has offered to look at it at the end of next week if they've got time.
Replacement spindles are obsolete.
Pissed off.
Fed up.
Just bought a new lathe.
(but I'm keeping the puller)

Did you go for the Jet Phil I can confirm toolpost is 5/8

Yes Alan. Thanks for the confirmation - I've just organised a longer tool rest for it. 6 inches is no good to man nor beast (sticking with the tool rest theme)

Atta bloke Phil I like your answer to the problem.

Peter.

Phil I think it comes with a long tool rest

 

[Dalboy]

Shame you are not this way as I would have said drop it in.

You silly bugger, you tried the wrong type of puller..


You should have had this model, it's much more effective and would have had it off in no time at all.

I went for the 1015 Alan, which only has the short rest. That's why I was interested in the shaft on the 1221 to see if they are compatible. Someone with a 1221 doesn't like his 10 inch rest so we came to an arrangement.

That's quite scary Eamonn. I worry about you sometimes you know. I'm not sure my maximum swing over bed could handle that in any case.

Nice to hear about your new lathe, Phil - that's the kind of solution I like!

 

[Penpal]

I like it when a plan comes together.

Peter.

You better send Aud down here, you dont want her to get frost bite do you.
