So I changed the band on my new mill from the one that came on it to Ripper 37 and set the band tension to where the little diagram said to and now the mill is vibrating quite a lot and the handle for the tension is rattling loose has anyone else had this if so did you use a torque wrench and what setting did you use Thanks Mark

So since I broke and dislocated my ankle almost 3 yrs ago I walk with a bit of a limp and as a result of walking funny I have developed Plantar Fasciitis ,policemans heel ,and its F###ing painfull the advice is exercises and "comfy flexible wide fitting work boots" so have any of you had this and if so what boots did you get ,there isnt anywhere near me where I can go and try some work boots on . Cheers Happy Christmas. Mark

Well said K ,Hi Lez I got myself a static phase converter its the biggest one the make I think its 9k it cost me a grand but it runs up my big thicknesser fine ,the only thing is I wish I could have got a rotory converter I did a massive amount of reading and talking to people the only diffrence is the static converters will only run 1 machine at a time and the rotory ones will run 2/3 machines at a time but thats reflected in the price give Pete at Transwave Converters a call he is a font of info number is 0121 7084522 Cheers Mark
