Jason, the background looks like its changing in eack of the photos so it is being rotated, Robert confirms he's using an er32 collet - in an R8 holder??

Why not an R8 collet? going from R8 to ER32 may well have introduced errors if not spotlessly clean.

In any case, it would be far better to allow the Warco staff to come and have a look at it and advise accordingly rather than play message ping pong trying to diagnose a problem from afar.

Robert, if you are holding that DTI in a chuck and not a collet that is probably where a lot of your error lies.

Unfortunately we can't see wht you are doing.

Robert, are you holding your dial gauge in a collet or the supplied chuck?

The use of a spell checker is largely useless if the word used, however correctly spelled, is incorrect in the first instance.

Being dyslexic, some posts make no sense, as the simple misuse of a word - 'there, their, the're' for instance, used in the wrong context, completely alters the meaning of the sentence.

And yes I used 'Spelled' allegedly the American English version of the word, as 'Spelt' to me means a type of corn flour.

Over the years I have had to learn 'type speak' and interpret it by using several re-reads in some cases. Nowadays, 'Text speak' is even worse, as in ' C@ s@ on H@ now H@ Fl@ M8', and don't lets start on L33t 5p3ak.

Rather than use a spell checker, try a Thesaurus, which will not only show the correct word to use, but how to spell it correctly.

Pressure from the boiler helps too

Mazdas Skyaktiv engines run a compression ratio around 14:1 on pump petrol, but the control systems are pretty complicated.

Older 'stationary engines' run 4 - 5 :1.

Remember that pump petrol will light quite happily with no compression at all, just depends on how much power you want from it

Why not just use a standard word processing program to compile the text and then copy and paste it in?

Hello Phillip,

I have the standard model, purchased in 2001 and have had very little trouble with it.

Problems experienced are : breaking gear select levers - they are plastic and snap across the roll pin holes, I have subsequently made new Alloy ones for it, Warco keep replacements.

Second problem, which I put down to fair wear and tear was a blown motor run capacitor: cheap fix from RS.

The machine itself is strong, easy to tram and accurate on the pillar and will happily cut with a 100mm facemill on ally.

For a single phase machine, I find it very capable, with mine not only being used for model engineering but anything that will actually fit on the table.

Regards

Just mig/tig a piece of studding on to the pin and screw it out using washers and a nut.

Strange isn't it - when I brought up a similar problem a while back, I was flamed for 'badmouthing' the company.

RF Energy ? two aerials and a sig gen off screen, bit like we used to get flourescents lighting up under a pylon.

I get it from **LINK**

The price changes so you have to enquire

You need a product called Cerrobend, it becomes liquid in boiling water and does not adhere to the inside of the tube, looks like lead when it sets.

Just reheat the pipe to run it out after bending.

Regards

For what you are doing I would have been looking at getting the sections cast in ally first and then boring / machinig out the small amount remaining.

Regards

Possibly a daft question - any backlash in the dividing head?

Regards

And a Happy New Year to you too

Agree with Jason, but I finish to size with a shaped grinding wheel.

I think 4mm is the nearest you are going to get now Dave.

I might have some 1/8" dia from repairing Bing boiler glasses, how much do you need?

Why not just hire a platform when you want it?

No problem with storage, certification, or wasted construction time.

Umm, gauge glass is normally tubing, so not practical to 'turn down'

1/8" diameter will not give a very good water level reading so a slightly larger diameter is preferred.
