Much as I trust my weding abilities, every design has its limits!You should loan one to your uncle for a couple of days, just to see how hardy the construction really is? ???

Very easy to change between worm and pin on handpiece takes a min with a screwdriver and a shifterThanks for all the advice on worm drive...
Probably try the new Nexus Pro 700w with flexible drive and PIN connection so.
If I ever upgraded to a solid drive can I convert to worm drive or is it a difficult thing to do? Will I need to get a new handpiece?
And does much need to be done at the machine connection to the driveshaft?Very easy to change between worm and pin on handpiece takes a min with a screwdriver and a shifter
Just a new end in the handpiece end again takes about a min to change it over on a solid just get a new short gutAnd does much need to be done at the machine connection to the driveshaft?

Blackface have soft skin and are best with newish short bevel combs.Anyone with any advice on combs and cutters? I have been using Longhorns wide combs and cutters.
For blackface horned sheep. Short bevel is best for them and width doesn't matter?
For texel and Suffolk crosses what would be good? Would it be medium bevel?
Are medium bevel and long bevel combs no good for blackface horned sheep?
What would be a good comb and cutter for sticky sheep shorn in early season?
Are the more expensive Heinger combs and cutters worthwhile or is it not a noticeable difference?
And are the run in combs a good choice?

Definitely short bevels for Blackies, mules, etc , in fact for most UK breeds when fit to shear.Anyone with any advice on combs and cutters? I have been using Longhorns wide combs and cutters.

What was I trying to tell you!!Well we have survived without any Kiwi shearers and although we still have 800 left to do which will only be a day if it stays dry, we have done almost 9,000 so far.
I would like to say what a vote of thanks should be made to BWMB for the shearing courses as our mixed team of beginners and brought out of retirement shearers have all been trained over the years by the very good trainers.
We managed 1100 today with one Welshman, one almost OAP, one beginner who set himself a new record today of over 250 and my son who yesterday did his first 300 and a few less today.
While the dry weather has helped as we have not yet had a wet day, we are actually right on schedule. There are still several thousand in this area to be done but with these youngsters getting plenty of practice they will be finished by the end of the month.
