Hi

I am trying to create a 60:1 worm and wheel, for a project. I am using a 12mm X 1.5 pitch for the worm, but whatever I do I can only get 59: 1 or 62:1 never 60!

Have any of you gurus out there ever done anything similar, and could help with dimentions etc?

Hi

I noticed that this survey has been put on this web page, which suggests that David is keen to get replies.

Why oh why is it not in a format that can be filled in on line?

Hi

I appreciate that David , but if I want to build something from an old copy, and cannot read the drawing, the digital archive is not a lot of use is it!

Who should we be emailing to put this point across, and hopefully get something done?

Hi

They do but will not supply it on its own, without purchasing a machine at the same time.

That would make it a bit too pricey!

Does anybody know of a supplier of neat cutting oil, that will supply small quantities at a reasonable price.

All the suppliers I have found so far only supply minimum quantities of 25 litres.

A couple will supply 5 litres at about £30 plus carriage.

The last litre I purchased lasted me 2 years!

why can't you make one?

It is easy to divide a circle by 8 with a protractor.

What diameter hub?

Hi

Surely the answer should be a dedicated magazine for CNC, so that those that like it can buy it, those that don't like it can stick with the manual machining, and my hobby store has the chance to make some more money.

Hi

I had this in my email box today.

As this is something that often comes up on these forums, I put it here for those that are interested.

Hi

I agree with many of the comments above, but one of MY pet hates is the inclusion of machine specific long articles.

I would prefer short articles without many detailed drawings and the inevitable comment "These dimensions are not critical"

What about distributing the magazine electronically?

It would cut the cost of distribution, and cut out delivery delays. Overseas readers would get their magazine at the same time as the UK

Happy new year to all

Hi

I have found that ordinary malt vinegar works well as a pickle with brass and copper.

It is cheap, and you can get it in gallon bottles from your local supermarket.

I would NOT advise using it on your chips afterwards though!!!!

Hi

It is easier to put it together to see the operation, but basically the fusee cord pulls the iron on the last few turns of the fusee when you wind it up. This will then put the iron in the path of the stop to stop you overwinding and allowing the fusee cord to go over the edge of the fusee.

As i said it is easier to see than to describe

Yes they have gone into receivership, but Ian has started on his own. I did get an email from him some time ago, (February)
