If I was in business and my delivery courier took 5 days to deliver I would find a courier that companies use that deliver faster, it is a competitive world after all

Used Tracy and they are good, supplier A probably will last all day in business, there a lot of good suppliers but also a lot of rubbish ones, we soon find out who to trust

Be careful out there

I think the hoses are rated type T for propane and type R for acetylene, this courtesy of YT, done a bit of research and seems I can use my oxy/acet torch but need to get a dedicated cutting nozzle for propane

Mick

I have a number of oxy acetylene torches including welding/cutting and lightweight all with their nozzles. I also use propane wit sievert torch. Been thinking of getting acet again but can I use the oxy/acet torches with propane?

Mick

Someone once remarked that they liked the cut of my gib but to date havn't been able to find my adjustment screw anywhere 😁

Mick

Thats similar Nick, but the yank ones have a larger diameter and look altogether more robust, and £40 !;?"^%"? Crikey but thanks for the link

Abom79 on you tube has good size spray cans which can be filled up and given a squirt of air, I have looked round uk and can't find similar, I generally use Duck Oil bought by the gallon decanted into plastic spray bottles which don't seem to last long but hey ho

Arn't the chucks as Mark describes which have holes through them used to mount chuck on a rotary table using tee bolts the threaded holes in back of chuck for mounting on lathe ?

I am usually beset by a single fly, after trying the best part of a can it eventually expires then almost immediately replaced by another fly, I am sure they are lined up in a distribution system wjhich releases one at a time just to get right up my nose, or perhaps it is the original fly which I didn't kill in the first place

Not sure what all this is about,but as trade with europe will continue after liberation day what's the problem?

Hi Kevin,

This is a good question, I tried to work out where to oil the gear cluster but didn't find any oiling point. I removed the sight glass and squirted some oil over the gears but as the head casting has no base the oil just ran out all over the place, all i do now is to use some grease applied through the sight glass hole to the gears and so far no problems

I think I can see a couple of Druids lurking in the undergrowth 😨

Mick

I think I have been persuaded to buy one of these Reilang cans, the 200ml metal one hopefully will sort the ball oilers

MickFinished my rear toolpost, gave it a trial all well no hiccups, some tidying up to do and gine cutter a sharpen, tried it on some aluminium bronze and steel

I have used tubular heaters in my garage with some sucess put up under the corrugated roof panels, but have had good results by leaving a small desk fan running in garage seems to work and presume the air flow inhibits the condensation,

Mick
