My whole garden is wildlife friendly, shrubs,trees ,dark mysterious corners, the plus is a great variety of birds insects worms, flying ickeys,bees,hedgehogs,butterflies a pond with newts frogs etc, countless hours of fun watching my garden,won't win prizes but the wildlife like it, I am not a fan of front gardens that get covered in concrete etc no wonder wildlife is declining us humans drive them out of their homes

Is the only difference beteen machine reamers and hand reamers because a machine reamer doesn't have a square on shank so isn't a hand reamer, all my reamers have the square but I use them in my lathe mounted in a chuck with no problem, probably a daft question

Mick

Thanks for the comments gents on reflection I shall buy a magnetic base from RDG

Regards Mick

Hi Brian

I have some small magnetic base machine lights but they are not really man enough(the magnets) to cling to a vertical surface thought a strong magnet I have may do the job your suggestion is a good one, RDG do base only about 60kg pull cost about £15 each but will try your solution 1st, thanks

Mick

I have a large horseshoe magnet that I want to drill and tap,my question is will the swarf become lodged in the workings or is there an easy way to prevent/remove it?

Norman, my wife had both her eyes done for cataracts she was apprehensive before the first eye was done but couldn't wait to have the second done,nothing to it were here words to me didn't hurt a bit, hope that reassures you a touch

Mick

+1 for Clives suggestion to mill off a couple of mm from base of tool

Well I understand what Imperial means to me, strikes me if Imperial and Metric is in the same sentence a spirited debate will result-each to their own 

Mick

I was brought up and did my apprenticeship using the British system of the Imperial system, I never understood the reason why the emphasis was switched to Metric. Personally I have no time for metric and feel the younger generations have been pushed into an pointless change which has only created a confused system of measurement, all my machines are imperial and it will always be so,--just my opinion

Sorry got wrong end of stick I thinking setting gauges were needed silly me, had a look through Machine DRO but can't find anvils but may be worth contacting to see if they can help if all else fails

Mick

My posts seem to randomly keep on inserting an A with a - above it and I don't know where or why its happening any ideas ?

Mick

Just click on micrometers and list of  anvil gauges is top of the list

Regards Mick

Hi Sean,  have a look on Machine DRO co.uk the link is on the right hand side of the forum home page,I have just bought tie 1" setting anvil and they have a range of M&W setting anvils good price quick service

So is the general consensus that the wedge variety is better than the piston type ?

Mick

Rod- I did see a chap on you tube who suggested that having the holes which draw air into the torch located at the handle end of the torch instead of at the nozzle reduced the chance of the flame being blown out when using in a confined space

Thanks Phil re buttstap

Mick

The throat plate and backhead both being flanged was it awkward in way of the outer wrapper buttstrap when s.soldering?
