Hi

I have just discovered these US Army engineering courses. They are free to download as pdf files for which you will need Adobe Reader which is also free.

Well worth a look for beginners and experienced alike.

I understood from David that the whole magazine was needed for copyright reasons

Hi again,

Sorry to be a pain but vol1 part3 is missing pages 40 and 41.

Vo1 2 part 1 is missing page 5, I believe this is an advertising page.

Keith

Many thanks

keith

Hi

That is what I meant, page 25 of the document not the PDF

Keith

Hi

Are you aware that volume 1 is missing page 25?

Hi

I believe it depends on the blade that you use. most of these small bandsaws run too fast for metal cutting, but there is a blade that will cut steel at that speed, which is a special bi-metal blade.

If you do a google search you should find a supplier.

These blades won't last very long, and I doubt it would successfully cut steel of that thickness, it will cut sheet metal.

I do not have experience of that particular model, but I do have a bandsaw that is similar.

Just a little caveat, In the '80s I worked with an apprentice training school, and we taught both imperial and metric. The schools were only teaching metric.

I remember one apprentice saying to me 'There are an awfull lot of thou's in a centimetre aren't there

Hi

Here is a very simple and easy to do tip;

Do you find that when you drop something in the workshop it disappears under a bench and you spend hours looking for it?

Try placing a piece of 3 X 3 wood in the gap. Things will bounce back into the open, and are easy to find.

It works for me!

Hi

Oh yes they were there, I managed to download no 17. 15 was there first thing, and that led you to the bbc site.

The web makers are obviously having a play!!

Hi

I purchased a similar set up and have the same problem.

Oxygen cylinders last about 5 minutes, at around £6.00 each.

Cheaper to buy a big set!!

Hi

I have a 'conquest' lathe and this is exactly what I do. It works fine.

Of course the chuck is bolted on on this lathe

Hi Chris

It is the jig to grind the tool for screwcutting using a diamond tool holder I am looking for.

You can email me if you wish.

Hi

Unfortunately Sandown is too far from Leeds. About 250 miles each way.

Any chance you could email details??

Hi

I have been so pleased with the one I made, I want to make another. Does anyone have details of a jig for thread cutting?
