Thanks M. G. you sent me scurrying to look at technical terms and so on but I've learnt a bit more today. Sam I know where I first heard it. When my mother was making meringues. (merranges) Slenderness ratio? No I haven't got it in my engineers pocket book. I'll google eek! Later maybe. |

Interesting choice of word Stiffness instead of say rigidity. Or is it just me? Anyway it all becomes a bit obvious when viewing a box of twist drills... there is a reason why they don't make foot long 0.5mm drills well not to my knowledge anyway. I extended my cheap bench top drill press using 45mm solid bar and cutting it by hand to suit the lathe between centres. (turned to suite the tube) I think it was about 400mm in length but I wasn't fussed as long as it raised the head to accommodate the rotary table.

Before binning any micrometer GOOGLE (micrometer adjustment) and follow the instructions. You may save yourself pounds. On the other hand I found that most inexperienced people over tighten micrometers. There's a knack or a feel to using one properly and usually a ratchet which saves over tightening. |

I would soak overnight in plus gas, ease it or WD40 even diesel has good penetrating qualities, which hopefully will break any corrosion gripping in the joint. If this fails then go ahead as instructed above and good luck mate. Edited By Jesse Hancock 1 on 24/05/2015 04:44:55 Edited By Jesse Hancock 1 on 24/05/2015 04:45:32 |

Thread: Looking for Linux useres and software |
20/05/2015 07:38:13 |
I run ubuntu and I have run Linux in one shape or form since 2006. I remember buying the kids (+me) a commodore 64 for Christmas, I think it was 1982/3 hoping that we could all gain by the experience. After a while the wife became very annoyed with it as the kids only wanted to play Falkland Patrol whilst arguing who's go it was and wasting hour on hour reloading games. I kidded myself about getting a job in computing messing about into the wee hours for years. I dropped MS as it seemed to me that they continually upgrade their software in a way which forces users to pay again. The upgrades appeared dubious to me as well and in some cases in the past really felt retro grade. The final straw not supporting XP. I do have Easycad 2 which has absolutely no glitter but I've always found it EASY to use with adequate results for a layman who's not interested in designing the next space shuttle. I'm no longer terribly interested in the guts of computing being happy to float along and use it just for pleasure and using my money where I need to use it. (Buying tools and making swarf) Linux are in the habit of upgrading regularly as well but it dose not cost anything. Edited By Jesse Hancock 1 on 20/05/2015 07:39:40 |
Thread: Rolling tailstock |
14/05/2015 19:15:37 |
Jason thanks again more food for thought. Point taken on locktite. Howard L This sounds ok (I understand the concept) but I worry about all the bearing tolerances which might end in something similar to what I have at present. I guess it works like a die with one cutter. I'll make a note and look at it later. Nigel sounds fair and was thinking on those lines also. I think Ill buy some cheap threaded bar and see what a mess I can make of the method. Anyone tried threading silver steel? |
14/05/2015 16:47:17 |
Jason love the valves mate you are the man. Was thinking a coarse thread into head of the valve then locktite the parts together. Yes I was using the an ordinary live center but I ended up with a couple of scrappers not having judged the depth of the center drilled hole leaving it hollow on a couple and too short on another to trim. Had a few dig in's which bent the stock right at the last moment. I'll try again with what I have left of the stainless. I like the idea of silver steel for it rigidity and strength. Threading may be a problem though. |

You may be looking at a loose quill in the drill shaft if I understand correctly. Mine rattles about like a milk bottle in a crate. Most of the film on utube is set up so don't take too much notice, they may have had a couple of runs at it. Edited By Jesse Hancock 1 on 14/05/2015 16:23:05 |

14/05/2015 15:45:58 |
(Saturn is in space Neil (it doesn't hide behind trees) and the Earth is a sphere in space. ) Tried hard to make valves but couldn't overcome vibrations set up in the job. |
Thread: Rolling tailstock |
14/05/2015 15:38:51 |
Hi gang, I bought a revolving/rolling tail-stock hoping to ease the job of producing 3mm valve stems in 304 stainless. That is to stop the part deflecting away from the cutting tool by capturing the rotating tail end. However I get lots of chatter which since I don't get any chatter using a more conventional live center I blame the rolling tail stock which allows the job to resonate within the bearing tolerances leaving striations. Just like dirt road corrugations. If you get my drift. I'm now wondering about a composite valves using silver steel rods 1/8th " with a stainless heads welded on.

Thread: Dremel 220 workstation |
14/05/2015 11:08:56 |
Mmmm I bought a dremel and I have to say they are really rough in operation screaming away. I always find myself cringing and half expecting the thing to fly apart at any moment. To add to the problems highlighted by Jason I modified a DIY drill press thingy to take the Dremel and found I was capable of breaking drill bits with gay abandon. The lever action was not parallel with the drill. Didn't study this problem for long since the stand went in the bin pronto. At worst ask for a demo mate.

Once again the mind boggles... Why domes??? Mark he may have got the terminology wrong and meant caps. If he argues give him the job back. Not worth the hassle. Mean time I have made a few using using a ball-pein hammer to form them. They were shallow though for HMS Kent ventilators. |
Thread: What's your best tool purchase ? |
12/05/2015 08:22:00 |
Worst tools : Indian spanners. Absolute rubbish and dangerous with it, I might as well have made paper gliders out of the money. Best but not including ridiculously priced snapon are German SACO spanners they have never lost against loctite, self locking nuts, garage air-guns, or rusted/corroded nuts and are still in excellent condition. I also have a set of mini screw drivers made by CW of Germany they are good but they weren't cheap either. I think over the years I have grown a preference for German hand tools. Items which have everyday use anyway but not necessarily model engineering. |

I don't doubt a word you say Keton why would I? I'm teed off with having to spread my name further and further across the net thus making my transactions and data more vulnerable. Either that or conjure up fresh passwords which unless careful note is taken then as Andrew says is a right PITA no matter which way you look at it. I am told that transactions take place in a safe area and that my identity won't be sold on etc etc. However where there's a will there's a way. It may not be used by you but I have personally met people employed by GPO who have stolen or used mail to their advantage. I was employed in a company where the top boss used to say "we have to run just to stand still in this business". I sympathies with your plight Ketan but that won't help you, we all have our crosses to bear. I've had email up dates but you can be sure I still wait in all day until the parcel has arrived. I'm sure you have read some of the horror stories on here, well I'm in the same boat as those who can ill afford to loose money and yet some have. |

It's safe to grind HSS as brutally as you want. However it can result in burnt fingers, lots of dust and grit between your teeth, a face that looks more appropriate in a desert war film and rather stubby tools and two inch grind stones. Sorry Neil it's just the way my mind works.
