Well when I brake my laser I'll make a set of Dam Buster type lights and see if that works. |

Nick (Obviously or perhaps it wouldn't have sank.) You say you like a challenge make it into a scale model one of the Titanic's boilers. (Don't test too high a pressure though.) What the effin eck does anyone want with a watch when most people have Ipads in their pockets these days??? They're much cheaper, more accurate and for more flexible. (So don't sit on them The coloured guy who does the sections on sports (BBC 1 Breakfast News) has bought a clunking great gold watch and he can't help posing with it to the cameras. Now that I've noticed I keep watching to see if he manages to get it in shot again. It's amazing how naff some people can be What? What? What?

Could it be the failed patch used on the Titanic? |

Bogstandard : Thank you as that's exactly the conclusion I came to after reading various write ups on the subject. Maybe some of my marbles are still in the bag. Thanks also to Michael Gilligan for your artical and keeping me up past my bed time |

Gordon: I now have a policy of never loaning tools out to anyone any more .... I tell them to, "go and buy one" (Always add "They're only" X amount of pounds to give them an idea of how much you have invested.) Or if they whine about only needing it for a couple of jobs, "I tell them to go hire one." I've been had over too many times. If they are close friends then I do the job for them. At least then if the job is shaping and finishing a 4"X 4" fence post I can select the right tool for the job. Just for the record I find wood usually puts more demand on the motor than metal as it drags more but the small sander I have now is meant only for finishing small items in my estimation.

Anyone here understand why taper rollers need preloading? In the mean time I'll head for Wiki and see if anyone has a definitive answer as I'm quite intrigued. |
Thread: What did you do today (2015) |
26/02/2015 21:20:14 |
Took the car for M.O.T. today. This time a council run place so no pressing need for them to find faults since they don't do repairs. Passed with one advisory for a split wiper blade. (This has been a bit of a problem before as the wiper is loaded against the screen quite heavily to ensure it copes with the curvature of the glass.) A new one is around a tenner so not too bad. Might have a look to see if it parks lower than it wipes if so possibly add a ramp to park on when not in use, ease the pressure a bit. Yes you are possibly right about complaining however I'm just pleased I have found a place that I can trust. Edited By Jesse Hancock 1 on 26/02/2015 21:27:36 |
Thread: Laser edge finders |
26/02/2015 20:24:16 |
I have one but haven't used it much as yet. After marking out the block of the Sealion I'm building I then marked a datum in a corner to see how I measured up against the laser. It's more accurate than I can see with a rule but of course the the overall accuracy of the part depends on how accurate I placed the datum in the first place. Also the dot defuses on any reflective surface so I'm thinking I might under coat with a light spray of grey primer and see how that goes. They aren't cheap so I'm hoping it pays in accuracy. Not a lot of help I guess but there may be other's who have found better ways of utilising them than me. |

I don't know what your needs are but have you thought about fabricating? Bright mild steel drilled threaded and counter sink screwed through to your base top your tee with more bright drill tap and counter sink into your upright. You may have a problem acquiring your base plate but a profiled plate surface ground may suite your needs Just an idea. Edited By Jesse Hancock 1 on 25/02/2015 22:16:13 |

A sheepish hello again. I'm sorry about that guys I completely lost the plot and that we were discussing single phase motors, excuse me while I get my foot out of my mouth. Chris For sure if you have a sniff and it smells at all it's a sure sigh it's arching / shorting or burning out and needs attention. |

Hi stan, sounds like it was brush ware/slop. One side of the brush longer than the other hence running in reverse the brush makes contact on the longer side of the brush and if that's the case it's time to change the brushes. If it was a brush less motor I have no answers. Chris: Old electric motors are generally larger than modern day types as today they are all machine wound. That is a human doesn't need to put his hands or arms through the stator to put the coils in. As for the ticking I'd check for drying bearings, where a ball may be tipping over the top of the race making a ticking sound. If the bearings are of a type like a head race on a bicycle it's possible one of the balls has been lost! If not it could be a bit of paper or something touching to rotor?? Finally it could be worn bearings in either case so check the stator(s) for shiny rub marks made by the rotor.

Harry RE: Charger: no need to apologise and please don't take any notice of my silly jibes and jokes it's just me and my warped sense of humour. I quiet agree about Amazon and Ebay, but why do they want me to register and make a password just to buy someone else's goods when they have my Bank card details??? The reason has to be data mining. They sell on your details to advertisers who then bombard you with cookies or emails. If for instance if I want a solid fuel/wood burning stove I'll go and buy one or more likely make one, and the same goes for any other item, the buying not the making,I don't want to spend all day clearing junk from my hard disc or indeed wondering why the computer is getting so slow. As I have said in the past I run Ubuntu because it's free and imho it's just as good. However security being what it is you are advised to change your password every six months or so. I've been using Ubuntu for years now and due to other issues I have recopied the core programs many times so you can imagine the amount of different passwords. It's becoming a challenge to think up meaningful new passwords and remember them hence my reluctance to register with Ebay and others.

Thank you Harry I'll add it to the ever growing list. An old phone charger? Do you mean those attached to the wall and wound up with a handle? They have a couple of bells on top and a mobile ear piece. Just kidding. Ebay wants me to sign up all the time and frankly I'm splattered all over the net as it is, so no deal on that. I will get one though. Incidentally do all you people submit to the wishes of Ebay? |

That's it Jason only smaller to suite the scale of the mill. The engine block moulding also differs on the second level RE: you drawing Jason. It's thicker and not even all around as far as can tell. (possibly worn patterns?) I doubt whether it will have any influence though. Edited By Jesse Hancock 1 on 24/02/2015 16:05:59 Edited By Jesse Hancock 1 on 24/02/2015 16:08:42 |

Hi Les, I had a quick look at the rigmarole needed to put photo's on the site and I must say I'm none too impressed. May give it a go tomorrow if I can find a lead for the phone to down load with. I only have a charger with this phone. It's long since I had one my towers set up but they do have loads of attachments with them. |

Gentlemen, had a day experimenting with the boring bars. I have to report that : 1. The RPM of the tool can be slowed substantially without much difference to the cut. (at least on ally) The wobble is much less but not entireIy eliminated. Evening the load (balancing the head) also helps a little. 2. The advance of the cutting edge needs to be just a couple of degrees but it's difficult to accurately assess. I will perhaps try to ascertain what the best angle is just for reference. 3. An obvious one really but advance the cutting edge too far and the shank will rub having lost the greater diameter achieved with the blade at or closer to 90 degrees.

Thread: Induction motor problem |
24/02/2015 06:11:18 |
I would do as David Jupp suggests, making sure you check the belt because it may have a bad join in it, (lumpy) causing it to throb. Then the pulley castings. If so ask the supplier to replace the belt and or pulley(s). Also you ought to clamp it down as there's a lot of forces acting high up there? Edited By Jesse Hancock 1 on 24/02/2015 06:12:04 |

What a great little lathe. I'd put it on the coffee table in the front room and use it as a talking point. It kicks rump on so many levels. You lucky dog. |
