Hmm... and now, in a third attempt maybe you or somebody else can please explain what the strange sentence above really means???

Might be a good idea to point out to Chris that the idea behind these fixtures is for using them on a mill, not as cheap collet holder in a lathe chuck.

Oh my - must be an awful crime poor Ketan committed. Let's hope he will be released soon!

Best as doorstop for a very small door....

I bought one, years ago, and found it totally useless.

How can I tell in a polite and non-aggressive way that something written here is nonsense? Without getting a hit with that proverbial ***?

Naturally it is perfectly possible to hold e.g. a 3.1 mm drill in a 4-3 mm ER collet, - BUT - you have to do it outside of the machine!!! It is necessary to hold the chuck body either in a dedicated holder or, in the absence of such a thing, in your trusty vice. Most (all?) chucks have two flats just for that. Then use the correct spanner for the collet nut and Bob's your uncle.

Thanks for the explanations Michael, one learns something new every day...

Having perused several flavors of Wikipedia, it really seems tat in the English speaking world galvanizing is used for the hot dip process. But I stay with my opinion that in my neck of the woods this is not the case.

I rest my case now.

Seems I'm the only one hearing Luigi Galvani rotating in his Grave?

Even if this comes from a serious firm, what they write is wrong nonetheless.

Don't lead Adam into a wrong lane.

The big question is: had Myford lathes *ever* scraped bedways??? I don't own one, and it's a long time since I last saw one in flesh. But I cannot remember - also not from advertisements and pictures - that I ever saw scraped ways on them. Someone can enlighten me if I'm wrong?

No, does not. I thought you DON'T want spending hours for setting it up?

Rgds, Frank

Definitely!

Hmm... the Model Engineer Volume 1 is from the year 1898 or thereabout. Hardly to find on Amazon or W.H. Smith.

Are you really sure you got this right? I wonder very much why the new boss N.W. does not comment about this. Well, he is boss of the other, much younger publication, so maybe he don't know...

Rgds, Frank

imho, you are perfectly equipped then...

Allow me the small but important remark that the pic in the posting by John McN. (28.2; 08:18) shows measuring the direction of the spindle axis, which can point towards or away from the operator.

No one with his seven senses intact would correct a facing error by angling the headstock!!!

"A foggy day in London town" - why can't I get that out of my head?

Very much off-topic, but when I see posts by Mr Invoute I always wonder: could it be that you are a Slim Gaillard fan?

Opera In Vout: get an ear full here:

Brian, sorry for playing spoilsport here, but Kasenit does not contain cyanide. It contains a complex salt of Ferrocyanide (could be Ferri-, not too sure which). but one of the wonders of Chemistry is that the same name in different combinations has not the same property. You spice your meals daily with Sodium chloride, which contains Sodium (very nasty) and Chlorine (even more nasty). Will you stop doing that because they both are strong poisons?

Michael, I hope you are not too much afraid being near some stainless steel boilers which never had been under the eyes of a boiler inspector...

It's, it's, it's, it's >>>> its, its, its, its!

Have a look at the time stamps, Niloch. Not too surprised by who was the next poster after that invisible message from Springbok. Heck, he must have written some really upsetting words...

Rgds, Frank

He asked about brazing Tungsten, not carbide. Or do you want to say the same process can be applied?

(Hint: read the question before answering...)
