Thread: Removing bronze bush from cast iron pulley
24/05/2015 10:20:11

With Les Jones 1 on this one. By turning a larger washer with a bore diameter step on it you can use the same gear to draw a new bush back into the pulley. Gently attacking the boss with a heat source assists.

Regards Ian.

Thread: What did you do today (2015)

" Had a new 500 gallon parts washer delivered today. "

 

Bit of an overkill just to bath Dulux.

Thread: Which (classic?) (Turret?) Milling Machine?
22/05/2015 11:30:09

Beat me to it Vic, best of both worlds in a small toolroom. Pity the buttons are where they are. Started on that one and was promoted (Sorry Sir John) onto a Bridgy.

Was the Meteor and Vampire replaced that bumped into each other at Mildenhall years ago? Was classed as "Vintage Pair" at the time.

Thread: Heat shrink tape -how to use
17/05/2015 10:43:10

"I purchased some heat shrink tape, supposed to ideal for insulation joints etc where you can't slide the standard HS tubing over"

English is a strange language to understand.

Self amalgamating tape was probably devised where you couldn't stretch and slide pre-cut lengths of rubber tube over pre made cable joints.

I understood what you rote Andrew.

Regards Ian.

Thread: Anyone been to the Harrogate show yet ?
11/05/2015 13:26:00

Good job his Lordship had chosen to take a conventional grinder with him to grind down to a "Clean" surface getting rid of side chips to enable a clean cutting face. Strangely enough, in a preamble when offering the service via the forums he'd requested that this be done before presenting them at the show? If you do it again your worship, don't be so b****y helpful and turn them away.

Told him I hadn't taken any and was replied with "Good job, wouldn't have f****** sharpened them anyway". Good to see you again Yowdbugger.

Others have mentioned various but called at the pond and saw the old faithful Skeleton rowing around. Asked the guy how many have enquired how it works over the years to be interrupted with someone - - - asking how it works. While he was answering, another guy at the other side of me questioned "Do you know how it works" laugh

Only thing that wound me up was those who in groups of three decided to stand and have a chinwag blocking the aisles together with the Haversack warriors. angry

Thread: TIG welding
05/05/2015 10:11:58

Yes Carl, I know about Heliarc, that's why I questioned Hydrogen. Thanks for explanation Murray. Heard about Hydrogen generators used for Jewellery and small scale precision welding but didn't know about large scale.

Regards Ian.

Thread: rolling aluminium sheet
04/05/2015 10:49:05

Bit like saying "Can I bend Steel in a rolling machine".

"Soft" Aluminininium tends to clunk when ring tested, "Hard" tends to ring. Whichever, annealing helps. How are you going to glue the ends together?

Regards Ian.

Thread: TIG welding
04/05/2015 10:33:31

"I was interested in the earlier post that I think stated using an argon/hydrogen mix for TIG brazing"

Hydrogin??? Has Helium become outdated? Had to get some foot operated switches for my mob of welders, easier to use on production tigging when seated. Repetition pipework fabrications.

Regards Ian.

Thread: D C Stirling/Hot Air Engine - Burner
23/04/2015 10:55:07

August 1954 issue of "Model Maker" has a description of the J.E. Jane "Chicken hopper" feed system for a higher supply tank.

Then become a member - It free and has the same ethos as this group - open your mind to new things Ian

Edited By Bruce Edney on 22/04/2015 19:57:28

Was there from the conception of the site and the reason it started as a protest from HMEM. Enough dummy spitting on this site without joining another although there are " a few good men " over there.

"Closed shop" plan section doesn't help the "Helping" theory.

Thread: EMG-12 Endmill Re-sharpening module
22/04/2015 11:06:18
Posted by John Stevenson on 22/04/2015 09:25:56

Take say the cam for a 3 flute cutter which has 3 lobes on it, not all the lobes are the same, they are to look at them but one is subtly different so it allows a longer cutting edge for over centre cutting. Same on the 2 and 4 flute cams.

The second hole that grinds the primary cutting edge, isn't a hole if you study it well, it's a slot but very slightly curved. On a 3 flute two of the cutting edges are ground normal but the slight difference in the other cam lobe means one tooth, the master, describes a curved path which throws the edge over centre.

Hmmmmmm I just might then wink

Regards Ian.

Wish people wouldn't put "Closed" links into postings.

Have to be a "Member" to see them.

Can't think of any CAD programme that doesn't "Automatically" know the dimension, but does rely on "Someone" to tell it where to start and where to finish between two points.

Wonder if the originator or seller of the design will issue an amendment sheet or modify the plans? Ooops, been down this road before.

Regards Ian.

Looks like the drawing was done using either AutoCAD or one of its clones. Pity it wasn't checked before publication. A failing of the drawing programmes, they get everything in the right place but still need telling where to put dimension lines.

Congratulations should go to the creative team at MHS who did an amazing job of recovering quality graphics from scans of old issues - as you can imagine the master artwork from the days of pasting up on a board an blue pencils is long since gone.

Neil

Original issues were quite good, trouble was whoever was employed to "Digitise" them for the "Digital library" made a right (and left) pig's ear of it.
