What colour did they want it back in?

Where did you connect the power to?

'Tin' the steel first before putting the two parts together. I suspect the micro torch does not have enough power, the kitchen hob would be a better supplier of heat.

It's about how long you can keep a Womble in the air with a paddle like thing.

I did the crushing can experiment in a 60's physics class, waiting for the water vapour to cool and condense made for a slow distruction of the can.

Roger,

Don't discount it, it's a positive change, look at the scale cable routing, are they the same?

If you swap the scale cables over does the fault move display port as well? If it does take the d-type plug covers off making sure you don't loose the screws and see if the earths are both terminated the same. If they are try a temp earth to the scale read head.

If it stays the same port the display is likely duff inside and you may have to shield the VFD, as in, wooden box, glue some earthed kitchen foil inside , bodge etc. Or buy decent cable and move it further away till it's out of range.

Last time we had an issue like this it was a dodgy earth.

The mill dro not being affected when you run the lathe at least says the interference is not in the mains.

Try running the VFD through an extension lead plugged into the mill point. If that's still the same then your installation is bad, if it's OK your ring main earth has a break.

My DRO has an external earth point on it, if your does have you used it? I can see a brass screw head? near the mains lead and no earth lead.

The mains lead 'looks like' screened cable, but has holes in the braid big enough to put your head through and will leak like a sieve unless there is also a foil screen we can't see.

The VFD is in a plastic case so no screen.

Terminating the cables via a gland plate has a little known ability to earth all those required cable screens in one go.

In the end you may have to move the VFD further away or buy it a tin box to shut it up

If you know someone with a Plasma cutter he can help.

So far I've tried to use two types of (carbide) end mills. There's one sort readily available on Amazon which has a 1/8th barrel and quite a long cutting part (so perhaps 1mmx 20mm or so). It's not always clear if these are meant to mill metal, but some seem to be.

The sound like they would fit my wood router.

There was CNC workshop over the road from my final workplace, you could hear the singing clearly in our office.

Even so passengers crew being bolted in from the outside bobbing about on the surface will still result in the air running out just the same

I don't think the Unimat3 was ever intended to be used a a serious lathe - the 10 fulfils that roll.

I've just made a screen door today for the greenhouse with B&Q 10mm galvanised mesh and 3 strips of treated wood 25mm lath to keep this years cabbage whites off the tomatoes, would also work for ducks.

Other links for the Mill only talk of a home built receiver and and that Artie notified the Police.

This link suggests that the Titanic spark- gap radio set needed 5 KW and even though the Mill had a generator run off the waterwheel for battery charging it's hard to see how any of point 5. could be true.

The OP seems to be talking about trying to make dowels a different way to everybody else.

Really??? + 60,000 mile service on most normal cam belts.

Chevy tried nylon teeth on a metal disc on their steel toothed belts 50 years ago - they fell off!

It's possible that if Steve or a previous owner, or even a Ford dealer didn't use Ford oil of the right grade that caused the belt to degrade.

Unfortunately I can confirm that even at tickover a cam chain pick can up enough oil to not be reconisable as a chain, but a large black rope of oil. So the belt will spend it's working life completely covered in the hot stuff.

Odd, the more starts normally means a steeper pitch and therefore one turn would give you more movement

Why not just fit a rack bolt?

Those were said to cost ford £350 a lump discussion on the MIG forum now.

I think the above says he wants to buy something
