Thread: Silver solder or braze ?
11/05/2010 11:24:29
Probably can Eric, but you may want to check with the certification authorities (Boiler Inspectors) first.
 
  If it ain't broke, why try to fix it??
 
 Regards Ian.
Thread: Can I shim a machinist vice??
09/05/2010 10:23:44
You summed it up in the first sentence Alvin. "and have a generic (Chinese) 4" machinist vice installed on the mill"
 
  Only way is to get the vise assembly on a surface plate stripped down and check each part as you rebuild it with a DTI ,re-machining as nessesary.
 
  You get what you pay for.
 
  Regards  Ian.

Gloves desensitise the "Feel" of a job and if you want to use the super thin "Marigolds", they melt pretty effectively.

Thread: Marking out fluid
07/05/2010 10:17:39
Perhaps the marking out process should be defined? If it's just to make a few lines on a workpiece without any depth of line, how does one use a pricking punch to determine intersections?? Whichever masking media is used, with the exception of Copper sulphate, any cutting fluids are likely to wash off most "Blues". If a scribed surface is left, it's no hardship to redefine the lines with the said fluids.
 
  All marking out I was taught involved scribing the surface, any surface covering was to add a contrast, but the original lines were there despite any "Wear".
 
  Since the advent of DRO's, some seem to ignore formal marking out and set it out "on the machine".
 
  Regards Ian.

Sure you're not using the Whiteboard wipe off type marker Sid?? I too have to use a solvent to remove the permanent type.
 
  Easy source for Copper marking fluids Terry, chuck some bits of Copper into a pot of battery acid or use the used boiler pickle (Dilute sulphuric acid based) when it has the green cast to it. When using the pickling tank at school after silver soldering steel parts together, the damn things ALWAYS used to come out Copper plated.

Seriously considered wearing an avatar of "Cyril" for those old enough (or young enough like Sir John) to remember. Haven't decided yet, as although it's hard to belive, there are those who would rather shake my neck than hand, anyroad, pink carnations are DEFINATELY out.
 
  Should be an oasis of tranquility after all the garbage being rammed down our throats for the last few months and despite their best efforts, NONE of the three stooges should have been able to cast gloom over THE best gathering in the UK.
 
 One of the problems of striking your colours BEFORE the show is that the border patrols will have been alerted in certain areas and names entered into Zee book,(Beware Herr Coates), so given that we make the best Ale in Britain, by the addition of certain "Extras", Yorkshire puddings can be modified to form fomidable weapons, where do you think the Japanese copied their Shurikins from? Far Eastern forgeries have been going on for FAR longer than some imagine. Forget yer Black puddin' Lancastrians, NO CONTEST and the Saddleworth fortifications can be swung into operation at the drop of a flat 'at.

Well if I say (On my OWN behalf) Overweight with a grey beard, that should apply to most of whom attend so there's going to be a lot of mistaken identities. Surfice to say that ALL who attend will be welcomed with the standard of hospitality to be expected in Gods own county.

Was going to suggest you take a bulletproof vest to guard against all the p***s carrying rucksacks but I see you're taking your own. Perhaps wearing the thing on ones FRONT would go far to apeasing us mere mortals from the barrage?? I'll be there shopping for me mate in the Philipines and one of the things on the list is 2Ft (600mm) of 2" (50.8mm) x 1/2" (12.7mm) Alumininininium bar. This I will purchase FIRST so blugerers BEWARE.
 
  There are bargains to be had, fleebay is a joke on material prices.

Another to consider Ramon, are there any "Proffesional" Anodisers in your area that could "Donate" a sample of "The right stuff" to have a bash with?

There'll be lots of suppliers extolling the virtues of 3phase Peter, all the better to prise pictures of HRH out of your pocket.
 
  What MOST seem to forget is that the use of 3phase machinery in the home workshop started because some of us realised that there was an alternative, in buying ex-industry machinery which was USUALLY 3phase, to having to change to a single phase motor for home use USUALLY single phase, by the addition of a rotary or static convertor. Second hand (or prior user) 3P machinery WAS cheaper, but with the advent of solid state electronics giving vari-speed etc. the market has changed.
 
  Any one for tennis???

There are two types of ink used in printers, one more colourfast than the other. As far as mixing, a few drops go a looooooooooooooooong way.
