Fixing Sewing Machine Stitch Tension. Jones VX 810
I acquired a Jones VX 810 sewing machine from Facebook market place for free as the lady who owned it could not get the tension set correctly and decided rather than taking it to be fixed she would get a new one.

I am on my second one of these things as the kill switch stopped working after very little use. Contacted Lidl who refunded me as unable to replace like for like. Bought another one 2 months ago and guess what? After maybe a dozen switch offs the bloody kill switch has given up again! Only way to stop the thing is to disconnect the HT lead! So annoying. I’ll continue using it as it has a 3 year warranty. It’s either a design fault or a batch of faulty switches. 🤬😡🤬
Never had a problem with mine. Has a connector come loose to the coil?
Is it possible to reverse the harness so that it is left handed i.e. with the hook on the right side? I can't see an easy way to do it.
Whats the amount If you have No Filler
Thanks Ben -great presentation -whats the name of that wrench please
They have various names, like channellock pliers. I invariably use ones I buy from Lidl. Many thanks for watching, please like, share and if you like the channel, subscribe!
Thanks I got my micrometer freed up from your video. I don't have the locking collar unfortunately.
I am pleased it helped! Many thanks for watching, please like, share and if you like the channel, subscribe!
Cheers for the tip. Mine took a bit more bashing than the one you did but i got there in the end. Seem to be a bit of a problem with these DeWalt chucks.
Indeed it does. Seems to stem from people using the drill to tighten the chuck though. I get a lot of views on this video though! Many thanks for watching! Please like, share and if you like the channel, subscribe!
i live in Australia and have a myford super seven parts flown here cost a lot unfortunately but hey if you want quality that’s the price you pay thanks for sharing this video i did notice your lead screw travel was very slow i would be really interested how to find out more about this
If I had to buy a lathe (This one was free) I would buy a Boxford as they are better value. On the lead screw travel, that will depend on the gears that drive it from the spindle. I have not had cause to change them and they are probably the ones fitted as it left the factory in 1952.

We purchased a Parkside 4-in-1 multitool recently and it has worked well for the last 6 weeks. My 14 year old son uses it for strimming and bush cutting mainly, but recently the shaft that connects the motor to the strimmer has stopped spinning round when you press the “engage/accelerator” button/lever so the strimmer head does not spin round, and the engine dies as if the shaft wants to spin but is being stopped by something Do you have any ideas of what I could try or look for, or have you come across this before?
Does it "spin round" with any of the other attachments fitted? For example the hedge cutter or pole cutter? If it does, then the implication is that the head on the strimmer is jammed. In which case the most likely culprit is debris like grass wrapped around it. Remove the debris. You may have to remove the strimmer head or brush cutter to do this. Many thanks for watching! Please like, share and if you like the channel, subscribe!
Thanks Ben, no it does not spin round with the other attachments, the strimmer head rotates freely by hand when the multi-tool is not on. So I am pretty sure its the shaft on the inside.
So if you put the strimmer head on, with the engine not running, you can't turn the head? That would sound like something has siezed in either the clutch or the shaft. What was the strimmer doing when this happened?
@@BensWorkshop The strimmer had been working fine. We got it out the other day and it intermittently wouldn't spin round and the engine died. It then worked and I completed the strimming. When we got it out again it wouldn't spin round at all. I think you are right, clutch or shaft. I was curious to know if you had come across this before.
No. Have you got a pair of pliars, if so you could try to see if the inner shaft in the power unit can be pulled in or out and see if that makes a difference. Also you could see if it turns either way. Do not use much force. You may need to call Lidl service.
Thank you for making these videos Ben - I'd be totally lost without them!
You are very welcome. I am pleased they helped. Many thanks for watching, please like, share and subscribe!
Your camera not giving full coverage
Thanks Ben -my tensioner is also misassembled and chain loosens and comes off a lot
Hopefully that has fixed your problem. I have seen this on this sort of tensioner many times. They do work well when set up correctly though. Many thanks for watching, please like, share and if you like the channel, subscribe!
What is the reach with the chain saw attachment? I can't find specs anywhere.
I will have to come back to you on that.
Put together, from the handle to the beginning of the pole saw blade is about 6 feet 4 inches (195cm) and to the tip 7' 4" (224 CM). How far it will reach depends on how high you can lift it. Hope that helps. Don't forget to like share and if you like the channel, subscribe!
Video explained badly, disslike
Dumb video, not explained, just complaining and whining, waste of time
Great ❤
Many thanks and thanls for watching!
Have one too - with start handle .... dunno which is better on a bad day. QUESTION: How long is the best length for a start rope - never seems enough to keep engine spinning an extra bit. Too long and you end up getting sucked in ! 😀
Probably enough for two revolutions. It would have been better had I run it a couple of pulls with the decompresor on to make sure fuel was running and injector primed. Hope that helps. Many thanks for running, please like, share and if you like the channel, subscribe!
Had 4 of the Parkside type and now I have none as the Trigger Handles all snapped on them. Probably due to the quality of the plastic and/or design. I've been a bit heavy handed with them, this is mostly because the claps themselves don't have the same positive feel as the Irwins, so feel slightly 'Spongey' for want of a better word and so you are prone to over tighten them. I have two of the Irwins and they have been through a large amount of work and are still fine and you would injure you hand first before you over tightened or broke them. The Irwins are a far superior clamp.
Well,, I do not disagree but if you work within the limitations of the Parkside ones they are cheaper. Many thanks for watching, please like, share and if you like the channel, subscribe!
@@BensWorkshop Definitely
Does anyone out there know where I can purchase spare parts (UK) for a Svea No 106 stove? In particular a NRV (non-return valve) and its associated cap it screws into before soldering back on to the dismantled pump tube.
Note specifically but there are several supplier online for pressure paraffin stoves in the UK online. I am not sure what the part you refer to looks like. Many thanks for watching please like, share and if you like the channel, subscribe!
@@BensWorkshopCheckout 'Pump tube removal & installation' (9.22 mins) by Bernie Dawg. this shows exactly the key parts I am referring to and what I aim to do.
Can such channel locks be used in a similar way you did with the screw when the spindle is seized but grabbing the spindle through some paper?
Do you mean to grab the thread? If so, quite a bit of paper or some scrap leather, but yes. With stuck threads it can be better to work back and forth and with plenty of oil. Hope that helps. Many thanks for watching, please like, share and if you like the channel, subscribe!
@@BensWorkshop Yeah the part of the screw that's where the tip is, i think that there's a small amount of rust on the spindle and area where the lock nut is located, i tried to move the thimble with my hand but it only was slipping on the screw
Be careful, work it back and forth, put lots on 3 in 1 on. If you have some scrap soft leather use that otherwise lots of paper. Good luck. Also don't squeeze too hard.
I love them stoves, I'm always finding them and reconnecting, a good clean and new seals 👍👌♻️ fantastic job there, I got all the tools too, they work fantastic in high altitude as well, the small ones was taken up mount Everest you can control the heat by releasing the pressure then to turn it back up a couple of pumps, your basically cooking on a blow lamp lol 😂 good blue flame 🔥
They are great. Only problem with cooking outside is that you sometimes need a windshield. Edit: Forgot to add, please like, share and if you like the channel, subscribe!
@@BensWorkshop will do mate, I've hod no trouble with wind issues, I get it blasting first then in cover then take it outside seems to work ok, but yes lighting it up in the wind is absolutely imposable, gas will just light straight away, but the primus is my favourite ❤️ there fascinating bits of engineering 👍
My issue is the wind cools the kettle! Don't have a problem once lit.

another one for you with these bad nuts that are the same as ford nuts the tops snap off if you get this get a 20mm hole saw from bosch with the auger bit take out the pilot drill bit and drill to the back washer and they come striegt off takes a few minuits per nut no damage to wheel or stud take your time rund drill slow and keep it cool or as best you can then you get the bit thats left on the stud off with a paire of mol grips easy lernt this from an aa guy in uk and i work in a garage
nice try but surgest you get an impact gun air or electric buz them off also to get them horiblle nuta off your socket stick the socket in a vice not stupid tight but just griping it and tap a small drift pin that will fit throught the center of the socket god bless. always use 6 point sockets with stuff like this too
At that time I did not have one, besides which you would need to hammer the socket on. Many thanks for watching, please like, share and if you like the channel, subscribe!
Just improve your camera focusing
This is a joke in it ? Lol
You've done 4 great videos, Ben. Many thanks - all were extremely helpful. I wonder could you tell me where I can get a new strimmer head - my own hit a tree and the eyelets and spring went for a flying journey into the long grass. The Komparnass website sells one for a similar model, designated PBK 4 A2. It looks nearly the same but a little different all the same. I can find no mention of spare parts for mine/your model PBK 4 B3 anywhere on the internet. Any help would be most gratefully received. Godfrey.
It takes a standard M10 left hand threaded head. For example: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B089NQBMNN/?coliid=IEYAQAEUZ3PIY&colid=5X5HSLDJMO93&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it Many thanks for watching, please like, share and if you like the channel, subscribe!

True beast machine. I bought one of this Parkside chainsaw 20v PKSA20-LIC3 Mid May 2024, luckily the one I bought was the last one in my local Lydl. I think Lydl stopped selling this series. but there's a new one but it's smaller. There are also some others from Parkside called Pruner for long reach branch cuts. They are good stuff the product items made by Parkside.
Certainly a good useful machine. Many thanks for watching, please like share and subscribe!

Thanks for the vid - so useful. I have the same mower and did what you showed here when wouldn't start. Found the main jet had jellified fuel hanging from it.
