Have you noticed the tree always starts dying on Christmas Eve?

Ours doesn't - it's plastic! Merry Christmas.

someone can help me identify which model it is

This link may help you identify the model. Chuck is likely screwed on, if not bolted.

The other aspect to this story.....

Noooo! Just carp reporting hyped up by more moronic guessing and complaining. I see it all the time. Others who think, or do the tiniest of research, can usually readily discern between the hyped up carp and factual accounts in the papers.

But there again, that is why they do it - they can "pull the wool over the eyes" of a lot of the below average readers of their papers - so the sun will have a lot of people believing it is true even though it is blatant bull excrement!

Seems like flap wheel in an electric drill might be good enough?  Or a cylinder hone?

Doubtless ken whotsiname would do it for a tenner (or maybe a twenty note)....

I would ream it, if he was close, as I expect there is one lurking somewhere in the workshop.

Another alternative might be to contact the nearest model engineering society.

A hundred of us could offer locations, only to find out he is on some remote island....

A location posted might elicit help from someone local?

I agree with AC reference Brian's difficulty, but there are always alternatives. Wheelchair users obviously need more help than most, but there are others with physical and mental impairments that may make meter readings a more difficult task. Alternatives might be to get assistance to read the meter (even if only three monthly), a camera to aid capture of images from awkward positions, contacting the supplier to

enlist extra assistance (if they are unhelpful, that is a prime reason to dump that supplier!). There are , doubtless, other options.

as six pages of this thread demonstrates.

You think so? I don't. I think its is a thread mostly demonstrating the ineptitude of journalism these days, along with a smattering of petty claims of poor engineering and a few posting about something they have no knowledge of (like the non-existent catapult system).

A non-story, really. Simply inflated by a biased press with nothing better to report and trying to hype something from nothing (and backed up by a minority of ill informed posters, too!).

I used to be with eon but am presently with First Utility. FU are far better than the other lot, who continually demanded a much higher monthly payment.

When I said I would be ringing them every month a using valuable time for their people to refund me when in credit, they eventually stopped pestering, but I shifted to FU and have been content with their direct debit demands so far.

Economy 7 requires more night use these days, than in previous decades. Still good tariff for EV owners, for sure!

Please do not quote me with your uninformed drivel meanderings inserted as though I have written that previously. Only the last three lines (in normal typeface) are attributable to me. The rest is yours!

Do you not comprehend that this carrier has no catapult? Do you not comprehend that some faults will not be exhibited until operation at sea? Do you not comprehend that this leaking seal is likely a very minor item? Do you not comprehend that all these systems will have an operating standard, to which the contactor/supplier/manufacturer must comply? It is called a 'specification'. Like a warranty on most devices purchased, any faults arising will need to be rectified by the builders (just like a new car, for most of us).

Until it is determined what the excess leakage, past that seal, is due to - ie diagnosed - remedial work cannot be carried out. It is clearly not a case of "was working, but now started leaking". Likely they already know what has to be done, mind. Propshaft seals are regularly fixed at sea when a problem arises. I don't suppose for one minute that the ship had to dock urgently for this problem to be fixed, but was convenient to allow the suppliers to carry out the work.

I'm not going to reply to you on this issue again. Just not worth the effort.

Start by looking at the selling feedback for the seller. Likely some simple reason, like he has included most of the shipping in the starting price. Scammers usually have 100% feedback rating for small purchases, then launch into a big fraud - and run before epay catches up with them.

Reading the auction details very carefully should protect any purchaser - and pay by paypal, so you can get your money refunded if it all goes bellypup. Buyer beware is the usual warning for any epay deal.

Lets put this in simple terms.

Coolant is basically a mixture of oil in water. Approx 5-20% oil and the rest is water.

The oil is called "soluble" but does not actually dissolve in water, per se. It forms an emulsion which is stable (the oil and water do not separate).

An analogy is olive oil and water mixed as a salad dressing. Normally the oil separates as an upper layer quite quickl

y (Other examples might be the way engine oil becomes milky if water leaks into the sump, or hydraulic oil becomes contaminated with water).  E

nter an 'additive' which causes the mixture to not separate after shaking. Now you can make salad cream with the oil, water and additive. Clearly not the same ratios of oil to water for cutting fluid coolant, but the same principle.

For coolant, the oil is chosen for the properties required - like cutting oil. Other additives prevent microbe growth which would otherwise send the oil rancid (like old cooking oil).

The emulsifying agent is a compound that is soluble in both oil and water to some extent.  We describe the two parts of the compound (responsible for the activity) as either hydrophilic (water loving) and hydrophobic (water hating!). In simple terms, the additive molecule combines loosely with water at one end and oil at the other, thus not allowing the two components to separate.

Lecithin is a common emulsifying agent used in cooking, but eggs also have this property.

I hope that simplifies coolant for cutting duties - the oil prevents the machine from rusting and provides some assistance for cutting, while the water is basically a coolant. Of course, there is a wide range of suitable products on the market and all can have different claims for their particular recip

e.

What an extraordinarily narrow mind you must have.

Are you real? JS would be jumping all over you for such a crass posting.

It would be just the thing Mr Bedford would neatlly mark on his property - even though the handle is rather small for easy engraving? . The handle portion is 1.5mm square

Furthermore, it could well be raised, not stamped or engraved, but I haven't looked and somehow I doubt you have either.

I think someone needs to grow up - and it's not me. The advice of 'stop digging' when you are in a hole, comes to mind.

My advice ? Nah not worth it....

I wonder how they tested the .landing gear & sif only one actually thinks about it.eam catapults without any aircraft !

(Sigh!) Let me inform you, just a little. F35 aeroplanes are VSTOL type. They are vertical or short take off and landing. No catapaults required. The other comments are rather self evident, I think, if only you gave them a little thought.

or belonged to a Mr. Bedford

Yeah, right! If you think that.....

You could always ask to be disconnected if you're that worried about it.

Most of it is sent back - the supplly companies charge to dispose of 90% of the original delivery to residential customers! Further, they charge more for disposal and then supply it to other customers.

Does it have a maker's name or logo ?

Original post:

With the aid of a x10 magnifier I can just about make out the name 'Bedford' stamped on the handle, I

So, I s'pose it was made by BedfordTools of Sheffield?

i.e. check it doesn' leak when in sevice !

Do you honestly think that? It is on sea trials, not in service. Not a full complement of crew, civilian testers, checkers, etc and likely no armaments and only enough of anything to prove the systems.

You seriously don't think they run the screws at full speed while in port, do you?

Of course they return to port - to remedy any faults found during the trials. That is what the trials are for - to find any faults. They will have tested all they can before doing the sea trials.

The ship was built to a specification. It will not be accepted as fully functional until commissioned properly - ie checked carefully to prove it is to the specification provided to the shipbuilder.

Finally, do you know how aircraft are tested before they first fly? They are not just rolled out of the hangar and flown off the runway!!

Just looked at the pic on warco. Are you comparing like with like re dro? Pic insert shows a 3 axis panel but specs state 2 axis.

Are you going to be milling with a lathe attachment? Def needs checking out, if you are!

£440 seems high for a 2 axis system similar to whatt they are fitting for £250.

What condition is your lathe - might be better than a new one in a few years time.

Only you know whether it is cost effective, but somehow I doubt it. Or it might appear cost effective, but would you be getting a sensible improvement - short term or long?

If you just want forum confirmation to justify a shiny new chistmas present, you'll not get it from me!

I need a bigger compressor!

Maybe, in the interim (for model testing) you might consider adfing an extra receiver... or two. That, or up the PRV/pressure switch to get a small increase in free air, if the motor will provide enough grunt!

For a low pressure air brush setup, a couple of coke bottles might do it? Longer to regain any pressure, mind.
