Plus one for Joe's comment, top quality workmanship.

+1 for AndysMachines

It's amazing what he achieves in a home workshop. A very gifted engineer.

Just watched Tim Hunkin's latest video, an excellent explanation of how pneumatic components & their systems work.

I can highly recommend it.

I bought this from Tool Station, less wasteful than an aerosol, better for the environment, cheaper as buying in bulk and comes with spray bottle. Must admit the price has gone up since I bought it a couple of years ago.

WD40 5 Litre

We all love a happy ending 😀

well done

Hi Hopper

Dividing head went for £155.01, looks like you got a bargain, happy days

It’s up to £112 now and there’s still 3 days to go!

Hello John,

I've not used it but I've heard good things about

Fritzing

Maybe worth a look.

A very merry Christmas and a happy new year to everyone on the forum

Fortunately I’ve never had a problem with Evri and I’m lucky as an ex-work colleague and friend now works for them and delivers to our area.

I can see a lot of people are having delivery issues and they have my sympathy but it’s not all bad.

Fabulous work Gray, a life time of refining your design and machining skills. I’ve just purchased your book, Projects for your workshop, from RDG (early Christmas present). Hoping to make the spindle lock for the EMCO FB2.

Looking forward to seeing more workshop wizardry!

Hi Steve,

I agree with Nigel, you’re not stupid. Anyway I thought you had an Albrecht chuck, the Rolls Royce of keyless chucks. 😀

Hello,

I'm in the process of fitting a VFD to my lathe. The VFD manufacturer states I need to use 3.5mm² shielded twisted pairs cable between the motor and VFD.

Does anyone know where I can purchase 2M of this special cable? I've tried RS, Farnell and general searches on the web but to no avail.

Thanks in advance

Excellent job, a useful addition to the mill. 😀

Plus one for the Reilang oil can, excellent design. If you're only going to buy one, that's the one to go for.

Hello

RS do a dry lubricant

I opened an on-line account at RS as a member of the public, no issues.

Hope this helps

Of interest to me too. I hadn’t seen this build before maybe because I always tend to look at the ‘latest forum posts’ section on the home page. Keep up the excellent work it certainly looks well built.

Paul 😀

Hello Ron,

I was wondering where you purchased the Hall effect speed sensor from, looks like a useful addition?

Thanks,

Paul

Couldn't agree more with Hopper & Steve, there are bargains to be had at car boots sales. Luckily I live near B'ham so there are plenty of car boots to visit with engineering tools for sale.

Steve showed an Albrecht keyless chuck he bought for peanuts, excellent buy, wish I was so lucky.

Hi Eliza,

Welcome to the forum. I’d also recommend Blondihacks from YouTube and a retired metal work teacher called mrpete222, aka tubalcain, we’ll structured videos which I find perfect for a beginner (me).

I’m in a similar situation to you, I do have a lathe but I need to fix it first and then learn how to use it.

Have fun,

Paul
