Thread: Metric vs Imperial - Practical or Traditional?
17/11/2009 08:34:14
Sorry to disagree Bowber but decimals with everything gives some the problem of trying to chase "Thous" that aren't neccessary in lots of cases. 1.000" ?? instead of 1" bar or plate?  It's one of the ills of the cad programmes (programs) if the "designer" isn't conversant with the engineering required and sadly with the advent of cheap drawing programmes EVERYONE and their dogs are DESIGNERS.

Use Tailstock offset method for tapering and screwcut as normal. Use Ball end centres.

Thread: Which screw thread system to use?
14/11/2009 08:51:27
Most of the screw sizes can be changed for Metric, and if you make your own bolts and nuts, the BA flat size Hex material can be used.
 
   HOWEVER, when it comes to adjustable items, Valve rods etc., it could be prefferable to use BA threads.

Just as a heads up V8., Water soluble Suds is pretty effective at dulling and dissolving the original Hammerite, don't know what it's like on the American userper.

Thread: Safety
12/11/2009 11:14:45
Starting a new topic for this one, as, looking on another Forum the other day, it was suggested that a certain material was far more suitable for a given application than the norm in Toy sizes. What the poster ommited to mention, possibly due to ignorance of the material involved is that it is highly toxic and a LITTLE care is required in its use.
 
 One of the problems with todays education system is that the "I've got some spare time/cash so i'll have a go at that" brigade have never or will, learn about the pitfalls of some methods and materials without some old fart giving them the Heads Up.
 
  Seen what happens to PTFE when you burn it ????
 
  First don't SMOKE over the vapours, - you can DIE.
 
 Second, don't touch the black sludge, it's called HydroFlouric Acid, (Look that one up for Yerselves.)
 
  Oiled brown paper over the slides? Good idea, especially when you're machining Titanium - NOT.  And Titanium is being used more extensively nowadays for Toys - cos it's available. Have a read at the FLAMABILITY warnings, makes Magnesium almost safe. I read that another well respected old Fart has a large metal Baking tray clamped between his milling table and the vise, THAT stops turnings falling into the slots, easy to clean too.
 
  After having to ensure that ones workforce didn't hurt themselves (Or the equipment they used, or THEIR workmates) in industry, whilst NOT trying to be a Galactic Guardian on safety, it is rather annoying when some glib gobby twits seem to regard it as second nature to everyone and scoff at attempts to EDUCATE those without the experiance of an engineering career to SOME of the pitfalls.
 
  Capt. Mainwaring and Cpl. Jones may find it amusing, but Fraser finds it sad.
 
  Regards  Ian.

Some of the "Re-invented" technology uses a combination of compressed air and atomised cutting fluid fed to the cutter/workpiece interface for "Mist" spray cooling.
 
 Thought to be the best thing since sliced by some, "Duplex" did an article on it in 1957. Sadly only have pages 1,2 and 5 of it. (Hint David and s*d the subscription
