Welcome aboard Alan, we're a happy bunch mostly and will be glad to answer questions. Best Wishes Noel.

I don't either but I have a radius gauge, a grinder and plenty of tool steel. Noel.

I have some alli bar 1" I think, give me dimensions I should be able to make it ? Noel.

PS I have yards of bar so I can send a spare bit as well !

I take it you cannot make one ? It would be quite easy ! Noel.

Most vertical mills are very top heavy, more so modern ones on steel sheet bases ! Your first hope has to be that it arrives still up right. IF not do not unload, return to sender ! Your sheets and a borrowed /hired pallet truck might be easier. You can raise the pallet JUST enough to clear the ground and at the first hint of topple drop the pallet back on the ground. Good luck. Noel.

Welcome to the forum, mostly we are a happy bunch, if you have questions there will be someone here who will be able to help. Best Wishes Noel.

For those who wanted pictures - here they are ! Just 2 ! the rest are in an album.

For those who live in the country or go to the country NOW is the time for the GIANT PUFF BALL Cannot be mistaken for other fungi. If you are lucky enough to find one,5" dia is good, take it home, slice into 3/8" thick, must have white flesh, if brown it has gone over, and fry lightly in butter, then serve between 2 slices of brown or white bread. It has to tried - mushroom flavour but a bit stronger - superb ! Just eating one now ! Noel

I live in a village with only 2Ph ! Could you use a 3Ph generator ? If so then it covers all your requirements ! I built one using a peugeot diesel and a 20Kva alternator worked very well. The supply company may not upgrade when they know what you will use it for. As to costs You Only Get What You Pay for. Noel.

Vic, as promised I have taken some pictures of the Blacksmiths Machine shop. I will post later when off the camera. . Noel.

Vic, I have plenty of pics of the machinery and will take some of the workshop for you. Derek I will be running a 6" vertical boiler and ST no 1. see you there. Noel.

Battery and a relay ! Wire alarm to NC contact and Common back to battery. Wire coil to length of wire connected to battery and other coil terminal to battery. If the wire to the goodies is parted the coil drops and the alarm sounds. Relay coil to suit battery voltage. Noel.

I'll be there ! Boiler and engine in steam, I've yet to add wheels so it's self propelled. See you there. Noel.

My comment on accomadating various drive gear sizes with an eccentric bush was not in the context of a mini more Bedford 4 speeds of the 70s - the box that was always nicked ! Somuch so people would weld them in ! Noel.

Benedict, You have presumably not attended any of the club shows - even in the SE. Guildford ? There are numerous club shows around the country. Times have changed, fuel costs being the most obvious, both for traders and public. Picketts Lock used to be heaving, the last Ally P was not ! IF someone was to organise a big show in the SE would it get enough support ? On past ratings I doubt it ! Midland or Ally P were both about 3 hours drive for me, Lowmex about 1.5. I will go to both ! The internet has much to answer for, but for those who need advice or help in their purchase the REAL shop can offer a service - but it costs ! This is true of the traders at the shows, I we don't spend, then the traders will go, they have ! And shortly after so will the show - they have. The Midland is in a unique position but if WE do not support it - it will also Go ! There will be no more free lunches ! Noel.

Hey Vic If your near me or going to the MMEX I may be able to help As Dave has said the gear pulling tools may be needed I also have the test gear. Noel.

If your near N Norfolk I will soon put a 24 or 25mm rotabroach through it for you. Noel.

To accomadate different tooth counts the gear shaft is in an eccentric bush and is fitted to suit the gear wheel. Noel.

Hi Brian, M&W No 798 0 - 10 BA ! Ex mil Pt No 910 - 5218. May well have been bought at the midland or Ally P - Try tracy tools ? Noel.

The rotabroach has a 3/4" parallel shank with 2 flats at 90* apart.. The pin A) enables the cutter to be easily centred and also pushes out the core on breakthrough. Run it as slow as you can and lub. Noel.
