Thread: Mystery Railway Carriage?
16/03/2010 14:27:01
Whereas it might not be being used for the original purpose intended Geoff, at least it's not having a "White" acidic layer deposited all over the floor like many were destined to receive after  Beechings modernisation.

Thread: Thread up to a shoulder.
11/03/2010 12:34:19
When "Dieing" a thread George, the face of the die with the writing on is the one to present to the work, which leaves the unthreaded witness. If you want more thread, after the initial threading, turn the die over so that the "Back" face is presented to the work.
 
  The lead face usually has a taper relief whareas the back one hasn't. If you want tighter threads, chat someone up with a suface grinder and have the back face skimmed.
 
 BEWARE trying to cut the whole length "Backwards", the thread WILL run off.

Thread: electro plating
11/03/2010 12:23:16
The way I was told it works Pailo is to set up a chrome plating bath and swop over the electrode connections, in effect reverse plating.

Thread: Rina and T&K drawings

Now that the ubiquitous digicalips have fraction sizes as a "Feature" on some of them David, it stands to reason that it may be advantageous to leave all the "Old" (or new for that matter) dimensions in fractional sizes?? The Metric and twentyseven decimal places brigade can fiddle to their hearts content.

Just the overlap problem to sort once and for all now?????

Thread: Single Chamfer Full Nuts
09/03/2010 10:17:46
Wasn't having a pop at you Ray, but this is a constant re-occuring problem and I would have thought the web designers would have sorted it out by now without David having to dive in every time.
 
  They seem to make sure the ads. work ok.

Thread: Single Chamfer Full Nuts

Flamin long links screwing it again. Perhaps the new web master can get the web designers to sort this ongoing problem out

Wasn't suggesting a stockist Howard as you already know hens teeth are easier to find, no, it means a manufacturer or DIY.

  Problem with Thinning a double chamfered nut is the finished thickness David. I remember (???) the single chamfers, but that's LOTS of years ago.

Thread: Merlin valve seat grinder and fuel injector lapping machine
08/03/2010 15:10:21
Set up refurbing fuel injectors Nick, the price they charge for a "Replacement injector" makes it viable in these recessionary times. Last saw one used 45 years ago when we used to REPAIR  things.

Just to illustrate the need for the "Outdated" systems Jeff, consider a slide valve adjusting nut tapped 7BA. What Metric equivalent are you going to replace it with.??

Thread: Milling/Drilling machine advice
08/03/2010 12:51:11
Yipeeeeeeeeee, it's how long is a piece of string time again. If you're only interested in 00 gauge, a small machine easily fills your requirements, BUT, if there's a chance that 0 and gauge 1 COULD be on the cards then you need to look bigger. Whatever you decide, providing you don't try to exceed the limitations of the machine and try to CLEAVE metal off you should be ok.
 
  Just as an aside, for those who say leave the round column machines alone, I know someone making a very goood fist of making a 3 1/2" Brittannia on a Maximat with the Emco milling head which is a round column AND twists and turns in every direction when REQUIRED to do so. I also have this set up and although I aren't making a 1/4 scale whatever, I don't want to and am never likely to so don't be fooled into "You can make small parts on a big machine but ----"  A 1HP motor uses less juice than a 3 HP one.
 
  Two essentials for whatever size machine.
 
   1. You need a decent MILLING chuck and anyone who advocates using a milling cutter in a DRILL chuck is STUPID.
 
   2. If whatever comes with an "Oriental" manufactured vice, use that as a doorstop and either make a decent one or buy a quality one.
 
   You can make clamps to suit your requirements, but as far as accessories are concerned don't be blinded by "WANTS", they take up far too much shelf room and rust between usages.
 
  Also look at some of the other beginners threads on here, you're repeating some we've answered already.

And for steam connections in Brasses and Copper the Mertic fines are still too coarse so it looks like ME and BA sizes will still be needed for the forseeable future.

Thread: What type of STEEL?

Gee, thanks for that link Martin W, will have to bookmark it
Thread: Pipe Bending
07/03/2010 11:07:45
Before making it "Look" better, consider the flow restriction properties of tight bends in C/H systems, same in airflow.

Thread: Single Chamfer Full Nuts
07/03/2010 11:00:53
OK, serious answer. If you check on either the interweb or a trade directory and search for "Bolt and Nut Manufacturers" you will probably unearth someone who is able to supply to your requirements, BUT, no whinging about the "Excessive" costs involved.
 
  Non conformity COSTS
 
  Regards  Ian.
 
  And No Ian S C, the only answer would be a L/H thread in one half.

Double chamfer is to stop the untrained from putting the nut on upside down. Some of the material suppliers have standard hex sizes, easy to make yer own.
