Thanks for suggestion but I don't think it would be suitable, correct me if I,m mistaken

I've noted on many occasion the wheel hub caps on my 3" Burrell tarnish easily and have copper spots appear on them so I'm thinking that over the winter I may make some new ones, so what's the best grade of brass to use to get a good finish and polish ?

Hi John

I do all my milling on my S7 as I don't have a miller, I use a standard vertical slide also the type with the double swivel. If I have a lot of milling to do I use a collet to hole the cutter but for the quick one off I have been known to hold cutter in the chuck. I only do small parts so for me the biggest draw back is setup time .

Ron the beauty of making things is if you don't like them you can change or re-make them

Can't advise as to what you should purchase and don't know where you live but the Midland Model Exb will be on us in a couple of weeks and is worth a look.

Thanks again for all the suggestions

Dave I was careful with a aerial cables and I do not think i reversed them however on this model the back cover comes off very easily so when I get 5 I may swop them around to see if it makes any difference

I am considering a problem with the aerial but have not got the confidence to pull the screen apart , maybe I should add that the laptop worked fine for a number of year all around the house, I have done all the usual stuff updated drivers/firmware,communicated with Intel etc . I have thought of put a meter across the aerial connections of the wifi card but don't know if that would work ! The pic below show the problem laptop on left and the wife's Sony on the right both machines been of a similar spec

My laptop a Toshiba despite receiving a strong Wifi signal is behaving as if the signal is weak, unless the laptop is inline of sight with the router it in most cases will not connect. I purchased a new Wifi card Intel AC3160 (not one of intel's best I'm told) fitted the new card only to find it was just the same,I do have a USB Wifi adaptor which works fine so anyone got any suggestions ?

Thanks
