Thread: lathe tool cutting oils
19/05/2009 14:39:10
Hi There
I use cutting oil.
Arc Euro Tade sell MWC I think which is Metalworkers cutting oil.
Soluble is not ideal especially if you have a digital readout.
The modern synthetic soluble oils can sting if you have a cut as well.

Thread: Machining cast iron

Hi There
Stuart castings are excellent.
I doubt you need to worry about the tool going blunt.
When that book was written I suspect they were still using carbon steel tools.
Modern high speed tools should be fine.

Thread: Titanium
18/05/2009 18:20:55
Hi There
You could try posting a classified wanted advert.
Titanium is not that bad to machine. It is soft but abrasive. it dents easily if you hit it with a hammer. Use about half the speed you use for steel and you should be ok. Don't try to drill it unless it is clamped downor in a vice.
regards David

Thread: brazing/siversoldering
18/05/2009 15:21:00
Hi There
Depends on the size of the job.
For very small jobs, you can buy a torch from B&Q that runs on propane but with something added to make it burn hotter. I think the fuel is in a yellow can, could be called knap gas or similar I think. The can has a threaded end to take the torch. Basically it is a blowlamp.
I think that would comfortably handle up to a gauge one boiler.

If still trading, Dorset Metals.
I think they are at Ferndown Industrial Estate Dorset.

Thread: GWR Metro pdf copies of the orginal articles in ME

Hi There

We can put PDF's up.
Watch this space.
regards David

Hi There
I did say PDF's would be on the web site.
Should be easy to host but there are no facilities on this web site to do that.
It is a custom built site and PDF's were not considered.
 
We are looking into it and hope to put PDF's on soon.
regards David

Hi There
I have all the magazines but it will take a while to turn them into articles.
I don't think there are facilities to host PDF's on this site.
regards David
 
Thread: Congratulations
16/05/2009 12:38:54
Lots of articles that have been printed in past issues of the magazine will be scanned and OCR'd into articles on this web site. The site does not offer the easy option of putting up loads of PDF's. Only articles that we own copyright to can be put on the web but I do have lots of letters from readers that allow me to put their articles onto the web.
regards david
