The first time I did threadind was a complete train wreck too. The easiest way to learn is to watch YouTube vids on the subject.. As David said withdraw the tool fom from the thread reverse beyond the start then reset for the next cut keeping the half nuts engaged at all times. The reason you dragged across the first cut is because of back lash in the lead screw

i use cura slicer with my ender 3 and you can open a file twice (or mas many times as you like) on the same work area and then slice and save as g code for printing. You are able to move the objects around so that they fit within the printing area.

I work for Royal Mail and I'm classified as a key worker so still going to work We still have plenty of items coming through infact it is nearly as busy as it is at Christmas.

Post Offices are one of the businesses on the high street that are allowed to stay open under current guidelines so if you order from one of the sellers on eBay that use Royal Mail then you should get your item.

Hi Peter

I have purchased 2 from Ebay and have not had any problems with either. they are only used for a couple of hours at a time and work perfectly well for my needs

Hi Roy they are available from Mouser.co.uk**LINK**

Hi Peter

Not sure where i got the wiring diagramme from but this is quite good when used in conjunction with your instruction manual for your inverter.

Hi Brian that is correct the end of one coil is connected to the start of the next

Hi Nigel

A modern technic for cutting wheels is to use an aluminium arbour and to glue the blanc onto it with super glue. it is then removed using a little heat. Have a look at this video by clickspring which explains their use. **LINK**

I made an Arduino indexer as described in MEW 249. There was a thread about slight changes to get the package working **LINK** . I then used the Arduino code from the home model engine machinists forum **LINK** . Well worth the read and probably the easiest way to index a 127 gear.

Hi William I made my 100/127 conversion wheel from Aluminium with a brass bush in the centre

Hi Peter here is a link to a DRO being fitted to a Boxford Lathe

Ive just tried the print function on the Pocketmags web site using Chrome and I've had no problems printing pages from the current ME and MEW magazines. I am using a PC running Win 10

I completed a metric set for my Boxford lathe

If you have access to the archives there was a plan for a slotting attachment in issue 6 August/September 1991 which would meet your requirements

I've just cut a 127 tooth gear for my Boxford in aluminium, I used the arduino / rotary table method discribed here https://www.model-engineer.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=122870

I also used the sketch from this threadhttps://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/threads/arduino-rotary-table-for-dummies.26744/

Hi Nick

Your friend could try these suppliers of timber buildings. **LINK** they supplied me with a log cabin 5M by 5M.

It comes as a flat pack

It all slots together

A full set of plans and construction details come with the building

You can purchase a full roof insulation and floor insulation kit. I purchased the thicker floor boards i think they were about 30mm thick.

I have been very satisfied with my purchase so far. not the cheapest way of doing a building but definatley very satisfying. I have gone through one winter so far and i was quite warm in there.

I do not work for the above firm , just a very satisfied customer

It’s not my original idea . But the copper rings are 38mm in diameter and should only allow access to small sead eating birds like blue tits sparrows and robins. As soon as I get birds eating in there I’ll post a photo.

Finally placed the new Squirrel proof bird feeder in the garden
