Yes Geoff, I have them on my Boxford shaper,never quite sure if enough oil is getting where I want it, short of dismantling the machine to remove them by driving out from underneath how can they be removed? When I got my shaper it was stripped and these oilers were blown through to clear and they seemed fine now am not so sure

Mick

Don't know you personally John but have read your posts and it is obvious you are well thought of so I would like to add my well wishes for a speedy recovery

I saw a chap on utube (  forget who ) put a piece of flat material on each face of the square stock and secured with a strong rubber band and use a dial indicator on inside faces to centre stock

Mick

Keep it !!!

Hi folks,

Been thinking for a while about a QCTP,  decided to have a bash at Harolds design, I have made a few of H's projects and they have all worked fine for me ( thank you Harold) spent yesterday drilling and tapping 60 holes in toolholders, 4 per holder shown in design but decided to fit 5. All going well so far

Mick

I did particularly like the Duck one  🐓

A 2 seater aircraft has crashed into a cemetry, a Police spokesman said this is a tragic incident and so far 300 bodies have been recovered.

Mick

Harold, I would like to add my thanks for all your endeavours, you have been an inspiration to me and no doubt many others. I have made a lot of your designs and am currently having a bash at your QCTP. Thank you once again and enjoy your well deserved retirement

Regards Mick

Great photos Joe, its a good job there are people like yourself and Gisela helping our wildlife when there are so many intent on destroying these beautiful creatures, respect to you all

How about for holding a spokeshave blade for sharpening on an oilstone

Mick

That explains it Robin,thanks. I always use my Adcock & Shipley horizontal for slitting which is belt driven, hadn't thought of gear heads

Mick

Sorry Howard but why not key the saw to arbour? I always do, any jamming of saws/cutters due to too heavy cut the belt will slip preventing any damage,worked okay. I don't understand

Mick

Don't you just love them, had 3 rescue dogs everyone an individual miss them all xxx

Mick

Thanks chaps, think I'll leave as is

Mick

I wonder where all Curly's machines are now, hopefully survived somewhere,great photo

Mick

I have an 8" Boxford shaper,it has none fitted,a lot of shapers do,on the whole does the panel think they are a good idea or not. Not having them fitted means I can see oil being ejected so at least I know that oil is reaching the slides

Mick

Just had a message on ansaphone apparently from HRMC telling we are about to be sued and to press one to speak to a case worker,was a female message short and sweet. My daughter just had same phone call, tossers!!!

Mick

How about cutting the bar down short enough to pop in and put a hinged joint to fit the other half to, put the shortened length in, lift up the top half and in she goes. Just needs a tenon on one half and a slot on the other pinned to keep diameter the same throughout it's length

Mick

Thanks John

Mick

Forgive my ignorance chaps but can these inverters be plugged into a normal single phase socket or do they have to be connected to the house mains switchbox ?
