Thread: Safety
20/11/2009 18:02:03
Gents,
 
I have tried to keep out of this thread so far ( free speech and all ).
 
Everyone has differing opinions..... but I think some comments might be becoming a little personal.
 
Please refrain, and restrain yourselves
 
Heath and Safety is an emotive subject, but I am sure it can be discussed in a civilised manner.
 
I wont lock this thread yet.....but I wont have any hestitation should the comments not be reined in somewhat.

Thread: Boxford TCL 125
29/10/2009 21:35:36
Hi
 
I have converted a TCL240.
 
Basically there is information on the web on how to do it, but be prepared to change the stepper drivers, remove the processor pcb....and loose the front panel switches unless you invest in something like the PoBoard.
 
You may also have issues with the DC driver for the motor.... dependant on what is there you might have to provide an isolated DC supply for the 0-10v input.

Thread: Edgar Westbury powered hacksaw castings.
24/10/2009 08:54:00
Hi,
 
I'm guessing from the size of the motor on my Kennedy hacksaw it would probably be 1/6 or 1/4 hp.
 
Seems the posting of the article has created some interest....... great to see.

HI,
 
I've modified the links once again...and should now be correct.... I have done this 3 times already. Seems The system doesnt like having links modified once an article is published.
 
Anyway, it is now ok, once again

Thread: errors in drawings
25/08/2009 08:34:10
I have created a section called "Drawing errors / corrections" under the "Construction Articles" section of the forum.
 
You or we will be able to post questions regarding errors here, We will turn posts into "stickys" once errors are confirmed and solutions found.

Thread: Northumberland locomotive additional dimension
08/08/2009 23:52:28
Hi Jason,
 
I wasnt aware that 2 builders had completed the engine..... David has put us all right on that score....... my point still holds valid though ..... I know of several designs in the past where the article produced the "prototype"

Hi Kevin,
 
David is better able to post his comments regarding your complaint. However, I will add my 2 penny worth
 
The production process for each issue of the magazine takes 6 weeks, and as the magazine is published fortnightly you can understand why "errors" are not updated in the next issue as a matter of course. Where issues do come to light, they are published as soon as is practicably possible.
 
Further, whilst the publisher wantsand needs to keep the readership informed, as well as happy, it is the contributor producing the article or design that holds the ultimate responsibility for errors ( assuming the magazine hasn't made any themselves in reproducing the article ). Where the magazine makes a mistake, again it is published as soon as possible.
 
Another point you may not be aware of is that not all designs have been "proof tested" by people other than the designer at the time of publication. Even the best designs can have faults and drawing errors which do not come to light until people actually build one themselves.
 
Some drawings of designs are actually done after the fact, and sometimes as humans we also can't see the wood for the trees ... i.e. we are too close to see the errata.
 
Given the technology now available to readers in terms of the internet and forums such as this one people WILL become aware of issues before those that purely read the magazine, and as such gives people more chance to rectify issues earlier.
 
Perhaps those people who are members of clubs that use the forum could give thier fellow ( non internet ) members the info about errata .... I know in my club that when people start major projects there is considerable talk about it, and so I'm sure advanced warning would be welcome
