Member postings for not done it yet

I, too, was given one like that by my wife.

Another she bought for me says ‘I’m not anti-social - just anti-stupid. She says it fits me well.

I would be starting with the wood burner installation, not just assuming it is a plaster fault. Was a SS insulated flue liner part of the installation?

The more I see about this is that zuckerberg either greedily sells on personal data and profiles or was a trump supporter - and supplied CA with data for the very purpose of promoting the trump campaign.

CA specifically targetted known facebook members with the information supplied.

Question now is whether you are being targetted by them, or some other mob, that has purchased your complete details (not anonymous group data) . As I see it (and I may be wrong) CA needed all the personal member details, of those 50 million people, to effectively group them into targetable units.

I may be feeling smug that twitface does not have info on me, but how do members feel about their social media with the revelation that particular groups are ‘vulnerable’ and have been targetted in this way?

Accept it happens and carry on, stop using it, be far more careful when using it, or delete your membership?

Even supermarkets target their loyalty card users (they would not be doing it unless there are benefits to themselves).

What next? Children targeted by preying individuals, on the basis of how gullible/impressionable they might be? OAPs (or anyone else, for that matter,) that are likely to be easily scammed?

Several steps too far, methinks, and I have no intention of signing up to anything that offers incentives, with the ultimate aim of not only making money (by selling anonymous data) but actually selling your personal details to all and sundry.

A mains power cut should not destroy the VFD, so an emergency stop on the incoming supply should be OK. Most would likely use the low voltage signal circuit, I would think. No mains wiring is a benefit, for a start...

“ I had to search back through several pages of previous posts to reach it.”

A tip. Go to ‘My Posts’ and it will show your posts.

Alternatively, search for the thread topic.

Far easier than trawling through pages of posts/threads.

Does ARC import cars?

Camera? Dash cam? Sat nav? All, or most, use ball joints.

A result! Far cheaper than buying the part from Harrison and will last for years.

Ian,

I don’t mind at all - I use the full 1mm range. It is just tightening the collet to get a grip on the shank sufficiently, to then tighten it fully with both hands on spanners. No problem with x.9mm but x.1mm can be a pain if I need to make umpteen repetitive changes of tool. As simple as that.

As for JB saying that a 0.9mm smaller shank (than the nominal max size of an ER collet) will hold in place - well I don’t believe him, unless he has it horizontal, not vertical.

Do note that my initial reply was to Tim’s post (that was why I ‘quoted’ his post). I would not dream of using a shank different than the nominal value of a Clarkson collet!

Here is the email addy for the owner of that forum. He/she should be able to sort out your problems with accessing the forum.

No motor will ‘labour’ until overloaded, so should not overheat unless so cheaply built that it has a duty cycle of less than 100%

There are several reasons why a motor with a service factor of unity, or greater, overheats

1) overloaded.

2) poor ventilation, or heat dissipation and

3) carp bearings or lack of lubrication.

4) too many start cycles in a given period.

There might be others.

Checking full load current and local temperature rise (to find where the heat is being generated) might be a good place to start. Even checking to see if the machine is actually overheating might be informative.

Don’t make a lot of difference. I still cannot tighten down some of my collets, by hand, to grip the minimum size for that collet.

No problem with first half a mm, but not for 0.9mm ( for example) under the nominal maximum size of the collet. You might be able to, but I can’t. So fitting a nut to hold some threaded end mills in the collet while tightening with two spanners, requiring both hands to be used, seems to me to be a good tip if changing tools repeatedly.

Use flouroscein?

Sorry, but I’ve not a clue what you are talking about! I was simply assuming that those with ER holders (surely all have spanner flats?) would realise that operating two spanners while holding a cutter is a bear. Nothing more, nothing less. I have a few wooden blocks I use to hold/prop the end mill within the collet, while tightening sufficiently for the collet to grip the shank.

If you click on the three bars at the top left of the yahoo page it should list your yahoo groups. Clicking on the d-w line should provide some contact e-mail addys to get you sorted out re accessing files etc.

Good luck - it is yahoo!

You could try fitting proper bearings to your current machine? Likely negate the cost of a better machine initially, mind.

What is the duty cycle of these options? A 400W motor with a 200mm mop might well be a tad over-worked, compared to the larger motors of the alternatives?

Other options might be to do one-hour sessions four times a week or to run two machines (swapping over to allow one to cool off)? The advantage of two machines is that if one becomes unserviceable, you are not completely stuck....

A good tip, there, with threaded cutters and ER collets - for the smaller end of the cutter size range. They can sometimes be a bear to tighten as one really needs three hands for the job, or some way to retain the cutter until gripped by the collet (unless the mill has a spindle lock).

I think you will find they are Welch plugs. Named after a couple pf brothers in the US.
