Or long series center drill will do the same thing, you can get them upto 6" long.

But lets look at what he's actually doing
 
Its a small lathe with a small chuck hence the jaws have been reversed to enable the 1 3/8" bar to be held. This dia is also likey to be the max that the machine will be able to part off.
 
There is probably a greater risk of the tool jamming in the cut and pulling the work out of the jaws than there is of the parted disc getting caught up so maybe Mr Hall did his risk assesment and decided using tailstock support was the lesser of the two evils?

No who's going to be first to comment on using double sided tape to hold work or showing a filing machine being used in a series aimed at beginners

If you look at the "My Account" box top left it will show any new messages against the "My messages" line, no need to go looking for them.
 
Also if you go to the bottom item on that list "My Account" you will get the option to tick a box for e-mail notification when a new message is sent

Stick the work would have fitted into that 4 jaw with a jaw square to each face so don't see why he held it diagonally, could understand if it were too larege for the chuck.
 
I've certaily used this method in the past and even the likes of Sparey shows it in his book

Nothing wrong with building a minnie as a first TE, granted it won't pull you around a rally field but it can be made with a smallish lathe for little outlay and not everyone wants to rally their engines and it will fit on the average manle piece.
 
You could always do the Minnie in 2" same amount of work you just need slightly bigger toys and it will happily pull a couple of adults.

Thread: Northumbrian CYLINDER DRAWINGS
10/09/2010 17:54:14
The text describing the drilling of the passages says "begin by filing a chamfer on the end of the cylinder bore" This is whats shown on the end elevation but there should really be a  line to show this on the section
 
And remember to file the chamfer deep enough so it is not blocked by any spigot on the cylinder covers or file a matching notch into teh cover spigots

Thread: Info & advice on Myford Speed 10 please (& other small lathes)
10/09/2010 07:34:12
You mention the Emco Compact 8, I had the geared head version the Ecomat8.6 for over 20 years and only sold it as I needed larger capacity, it was immaculate and after several months of advertising could only get £400 for it, new stands for the compact are on e-bay for more than that. They do come up from time to time so just watch out for something.
 
Only thing I would say is try to find something that can swing just over 9"  in the gap or over the bed as so many things like stationary engine flywheels are sized so they can be done on the myford with its gap.

Colchester Bantam would have the handwheels where you want them but may still be a bit larger than you want, A late model 2000 would be at teh upper end of your budget but a 1600 could be had for £1000

Sorry, not down to me.
I don't get involved with distribution.
 
 One would hope that at least you will let the powers that be know that once again your distriutor is not performing?

Just a thought has the belt taken on a "set" from standing tensioned in one positioncausing it to pull on the spindle with irregular pressure, try taking the belt and all gears offand turn by hand.
 
Can't see it being a chuck problem if it does it on both chucks and the faceplate

Thread: Tee ring rivets
07/09/2010 19:12:55
You wil need two snaps, these are like a punch as you can see in my pic above but they have a hemispherical recess that the preformed head of a rivit sits in.
 
You put one snap in your vice, slip a rivit through your tee ring and spoke and then place it all onto the snap, a few blocks of wood to hold the wheel level helps. Next you "set the rivit" this is done with a homemade hollow punch that slips over the rivit shank and is then hit to make sure the two bits of metal are firmly together and the rivit tight upto the underside. The snaps that RDG sell also have the hollow hole but most are just like punches
 
Now the tricky bit you place the second snap onto the protruding end of the rivit and give it a few sharp blows, this will form a matching snap head as the rivit is formed into shape. In reality you will want to do quite a few practice rivits before you get an acceptable head and to determine how much rivit to have protruding (about 1.6 times dia) to get a good head.
 
If its going to be painted then you will find copper rivits fine for a 2" balance plough as they are a lot easier to form than steel.

The front ones can be done with a pair of standard snaps, for the rears you will have to make up a substantial holder for a small snap that will clear the second tee for the underside and a standard snap on top.
 
Though depending on the engine you may have to modify a standard snap so it clears the strake rivits and radius at the root of the tee, this picture shows where I have turned the supplied tapered end parallel and ground out one side of the snap, the small snap in the front is what I put in the holder.
 
If you are working on 4" and above you may want to make a jig to hold the snap true, close the rivit with a 20T press or use a SDS+ type drill with modified chisel
