I have the same height gauge and I have the dimensions of the holder and the blade.The holder is 1.168" long .581 high .275 wide the slot is 50th from the end and .737 long with a knurled screw in the end,The blade is .175 wide 2.252" long .360 high with a 30 degree slope.Let me know if you require any more information.Hope this helps.

Frank

Hi Frank,

Thanks for the info, do you happen to have a photo please? Can't quite visualise it sitting on the gauge, the one's I've seen have a step so they line up with the bottom of the vernier. Is it like that or does it line up with the top?

Regards

Roger

Just an amused observation slightly off topic... I still find that people still won't call it what it is...myself included in the early days... eBay, it is a global auction / shopping site with no copyright restrictions on items that I'm aware of... other than the name itself... so flea bay, 'that auction site' sea bay, bay of e, et al... at the end of the day call it what it is... it's eBay!, same with that other site, the 'bouncy one'... 'that elastic shop'... 'Gum tree ... devil' ... that's my head above the parapet for today, mind you I am wearing a facsimile of Ned Kelly's helmet & am prepared for a large headache from the resonance ... face 20 ​. Have a nice day y'all wink 2

George.

George, George, George,

That happened to be the first time I called Ebay that, wish I hadn't bothered now crying

Never mind, catch this virtual nuke coming over now wink 2

I got to ask, was that from We..ex.....y ebayer? If so its a nice item, I have seen it in the flesh but did not buy as I could not source a scribe. Not that hard to make I guess?

martin

Yes that's the one Martin, came on Monday and in good condition just a bit of staining.

I like the fact that it has imperial and metric scales.

I've just acquired an 11" English N.S.F. Co Ltd vertical height gauge from the bay of e

It is missing the scribe and clamp, does anyone have drawings and measurement details for the scribe please?

Or where I can get a suitable replacement?

Thanks

Roger

Thread: Air in the workshop

Hi All,

As I have a portable compressor, but only want to move it when outside, I thought I would put in some permanent piping to areas where my machines are, I also have an airbrush booth. What would be the best 4to use considering the pressure would be no more than 60psi?

I thought of either plastic water pipe with push in fittings or 15mm copper qnd associated fittings.

What are your thoughts peoples?

Cheers

Roger

Thanks Howard,

Good to be aboard

Hereford is 15 miles away so will be paying them a visit with a view to making it a long term relationship.

Going to be a busy retirement, no time for the SWIMBO list

Hi Neil,

Thanks, I'm probably buying the castings from Reeves, mainly because I haven't seen them elsewhere, not sure about the gears though, seem rather expensive!!

Thanks for the link, I guess I'll load and merge them and do a search and see what comes up.

I have options for the flywheel as there is a club in Hereford.

Regards

Hi everybody, having just retired I treated myself to a mini lathe and mini mill from SPG Tools. I used to use my fathers Myford super 7 long bed to make a Tich, sadly no longer have it or room for a super 7 hence the mini tools.

Im looking at building the M E Beam engine as my main project if I find the m e articles on the build.

Regards

Roger
