just looking through arc catalogue and seen some revolving chucks and backplates.

they are on mt2 to fit talstock.

what are they used for?

been offered a radial arm drill that was designed for woodworking with dead motor.

guy says to fast for metal working is going to get me speeds later.

i have a spare drill press motor from metal working one.

am thinking if pulleys are same i can just put motor on it.

if not will get speed controlled motor for it.

other than speeds is there any reason i can't use it for metal working?

Just been reading on another forum about what people use when designing stuff.

was quite surprised how many people still do it by hand.

i admit i do it on drawing board by hand as don't get on with electronic gizmos.

even carry small pad to put ideas on or make notes for if i see something i like idea off, wish i did as would love to have go at 3d printing.

so what does everyone else use?

did at club i belong to but was very gentle was only 24mm hole.

i was prob over cautios but bid build up to it in sizes.

dunno if it will work for what you need.

but once scored odd shaped lump of ali.

went in from each end with hole saw and ended up with pce of rd for job i needed just needed cleaning up.

might work with your rd stock and you will kave smaller dia pce of rd stock after.

hi, i build cycles from scratch for kids and myself.

got plans somewhere for a frame building jig if any good?

this is one my boy did lot of work on inc welding.

had to call in at metal supermarket for pce of 8"x6"x3/8" plate for project.

spotted some 3/8 thick i-beam offcuts in scrap pile asked how much got told take them.

one is 10" long other 12".

plan is cut along center of upright and then shape ends of cross pces to make formers for some meatalwork projects bit like anvils.

not critical if slightly out as will drill top pce once base pce slotted and filled then i know holes will be in line with lathe.

thank you Nigel sent email.

if broaching out of q what is a good way to get it made?

as looks like i will have to go down route of getting them made.

hope these make it bit clearer

i want to make several capstans for my ml6 lathe so i can just swap complete units over and leave them set up for certain jobs.

need to make the bit in pic someone at club suggested broaching it.

never seen it done so wondered if one of the wsp series of books cover it?

and where i could get one made as can only see normal keyway ones.

or is there a better way?

i don't have a milling machine.

thanks

all i know is she is an artist/sculptor.

she never tells boss what she is working on until it's finished.

had me drill and tap some brass rods that she will bend to shape.

so we know it's gold and silver colored and that's it.

thanks for the info will just wait till he gets them to know exactly what they are made off.

need to drill some ball bearings of different sizes.

what is best way need to be drilled carefull

they are different sizes and for bosses wife but she won't say what they are for so can't give more info.

the book is mine bought it specificaly for the grinding rest plans.

hoping to be building the advanced grinding rest.

can i do all the milling for it on my lathe?

miller at club is out of action for a while and would like to get it made ta
