Not to hijack the thread, but, never heard of The Lensman, now off on another journey.

There is a small locking tab visible at 11:55 on the picture at the top of this post, You have the small screw already out and need to pry the tab out, then the round nut that has spanner slots in it will turn.You should see the grooves are holding the spanner slotted ring from turning. You can splurge and buy a spanner wrench or use a punch and hammer to loosen it up,

Rivnuts was the name don't know if available across the pond.

Could You revise the groove and use a square section ring You can make Yourself?

Some of us don't know the reason for the message on the dial. Could You inform Us? Not into clock mechanics but that is amazing. Must keep a yearning to start another project stifled.

I bought some stuff at a yard sale from an old moldmaker. Prices not great but doable. Chatted awhile then found a Machinist hand book and bought it. I had Him sign it and it made His day to be remembered that way.

Long before I had access to the Internet I did not know Propane was harmful to welding hose. I swapped my Acetylene tank out for Propane. It's been about 30 years ago and still using the same hose with no signs of a problem.

I don't know if it is the same across the pond as it is in The Colonies, but I keep a rotary dial here at home as when We get a storm and the cell phone towers go on the blink a rotary style will still work, not 100% but still more often.

How does One get the correct surface speed when running one of these shapers? : I have a Rhoades and like it very much.

Just designed a part in my head and made it. Would have been nice to include a shoulder to press the bearing up against. The words above are very true.

I had to look up probity, should it have been included?

Why not look online for a description and picture of the toy, might find an answer there.

I have a copy of the book to pass along if anyone wants it.

I was lucky to see it takeoff in Columbus Ohio, USA. It took off normally, then when it got up several thousand feet, It was just plain gone. Amazing as I live near a airport and see this stuff all the time.

We have all made the class giggle at one time or another. Ask away.

I don't know who will be creating the wealth, but I do know whom they will be taking it from!

Might not be round or parallel when You are done. Search the forum, You need some more information for the job to work correctly.

A small boring head or fly cutter with a shaped tool would do the job the cheapest if You have the tools, just not the fastest.

I have some that looks and smells like a bar of soap, was purchased as saw blade lube.

Would it be permissable to move some small bit of machinery in the house? Let the little one get used to machine sounds. Train them young.
