    Oh well, one down, one to go....

    The rotary attachment arrived today - totally wrecked as the chuck had broken the shaft that mounts it and was loose in the box, unusable and a complete waste - the box that should have held the chuck was in there so why was it fitted??

    My thoughts were previous customer return item.

    emailed supplier with a photo.

    Oh dear, not good.
    My rotary attachment is still bubble wrapped but mine is the simpler, cheaper unit with no chuck, just a set of stepper driven 3 rollers to hold a glass or bottle by friction.
    Can't see it ever getting used.

    I did see another one of the type you have on a forum somewhere, where the spindle had pulled out of the upright because the bearing was a loose fit but it looked an easy fix if you could get redress off the seller.

    This would be an easy fix - re-weld the plate and true up on the lathe but that's not the point :)

    See what they say in the morning.

    JS probably saw my post here on Madmodder - see reply #23

    Oh, and my cable outer also was stripped too far back to use the clamps like yours, but I found that by friction warming the outer by gripping with a cloth and sliding it, I could ease the outer far enough down the wires to get under the clamps (which are too large a diameter to grip, but a bit of the serrated end of a tywrap makes up the gap sufficiently !

    Supplier reply - can i get it fixed locally and how much?

    I guess £50 will cover it :) See what they say.

    Mine ended up £40 under asking price. They've just this morning sent me an eBay message asking if it's arrived and am I happy with it! Considering I told them it arrived broken, sent photos, got a discount, and left them neutral feedback you'd think that they were aware of my opinion by now!

    As this was a package deal, i think the rotary added about £100 over the price of the basic machine so £50 seems reasonable i think.

    They certainly don't keep track of orders very closely it seems in your case ;)

    Ground the bird-sh1t off, turned a bevel on the stub so there was somewhere for the weld to fill, nice heavy fillet, turned the flange true to the shaft, refitted it.

    Also drilled a couple of divots for the pulley screws to locate into.

    I'll also replace the crap allen screws which appear to be M6 but have a socket that fits nothing with some proper M6 ones !
