Thread: You might be able to help me
13/10/2009 18:29:15
You're basically trying to re-invent the "Rotring" drawing tip then ???
 
     Regards  Ian.
Thread: Rear mounting parting-off tools
13/10/2009 11:16:56
Must have been due to living a sheltered life, but all the rear mounted toolposts of note that I have observed have had the tools mounted upside down therefore NOT neccesitating running the spindle in reverse.
 
 It's then a very basic geometrical fact that any "Dig in " pushes the tool AWAY from the rotation.
 
  Wonder if you'd made the RTP before shelling out lots of dosh David if HSS would have worked for you too?
 
  And in the words of a great man, it would take a F***wit to forget the rear post is there and get trapped on it.
 
  Regards  Ian FW Extrodinaire.
Thread: Clarkson autolock chucks

One to remember Antony, the Yanks among others call Silver Steel - Drill Rod, cos drills (Carbon Steel ones) are made from it. If you've any old carbon steel drills with Morse taper shanks that are lying around neglected and well past their sell by date you have a source.
 
  Bung them in the fire overnight and let them cool slowly and you have a ready supply of raw material. Sometimes the shanks are not hardened, hit them with a file and see.
 
  Regards  Ian. FW Extrodinaire.

Thread: Hot air and stirling engines

Just as a rough guide Ian SC, 303L and 304L for general SS usage, 316L for Hygenics and 321 for heat apps. unless you want to go into the exotics like Inconels etc.
 
  Used 321 grades exclusively for the zorst systems on the BR Diesel locos, Seemed to work quite well, sorry, Full size systems.
 
  If you can get the "L" designations of those three, they are easier to machine (L for low carbon content), saves any fear of rusting, and oh yes they do. Ask the guys who built the Thames barrier.
 
  Boring a Bar of material seems hard work, Know anyone with TIG welding facilities??
 
  Regards  Ian.
30/09/2009 14:40:39
If you're going to have to buy a piece of Stainless sheet to make a hot cap, the grade to go for is 321, Tripetanium stabilized to prevent intergrobular corrosion.

Question to our Anti-podium bretheren, what happened to this site :- http://www.steamengine.com.au/index.php?start=5  ?????
 
 It used to have an LTD freebie of good proportions on it.

Have a bash with this link Richard, but you need to set aside about a month to quickly scan through.

At the risk of being called a HSE nanny Ian, be awfully careful when playing with Teflon (PTFE by any other name) cos if you "Cook" it, it can become a rather good slime capable of eating yer bits away. Int' trade it's called Hydroflouric Acid and you don't need that in ANY sort of quantities.

Aw that's what might go wrong Peter? Wish I'd thought of that, too subtle for us in the Fxxxwits brigade.

 Thanks Ian, saw the pictures on that page, didn't read the text,  DOH.!
 
  And thanks for the kind offer for a successor to Zan(ussi) but the same day as his departure, Ken Wood came to our rescue
 
  Another place to pick up one of Jans engines is :-

  Sorry Roy, lurve the dual use of a cup of Coffee, the LTD's are little crackers.

Just a bit of basic nomenclature Chris, DRILL chucks are for DRILLS, MILLING chucks are for MILLING cutters. Now consider the direction of cutting forces applied normally to the two types of machining. I'm not going to insult your intelligence by filling in the blanks. Yes, I have one or two cuts that have happened by taking calculated risks at times but I'm not stupid enough to advocate an operation where someone else could suffer the same type of injury by "Publishing" it.
 
  No I dont need a LollYpop lady to escort me across the road (Yet) but neither do I advocate playing marbles on a Motorway.
 
  Perhaps some should calm down from the human RACE and glance at the scenery now and again, don't look for too long though,  you might run into the back of me.
 
   Regards  Ian.

How did you form the Leather cup seal Mark??
Thread: Milling collet arbor jammed in milling machine
19/09/2009 11:21:06
Seems there's only me an thee on this one David?
 
  Just proves how wrong we can be.
 
 Glad I'm a CAREFUL f***wit. If you READ what I rote re ones employer NOT having to pay ones wage for a self inflicted injury, I said NOTHING about it occuring at work.
 
 When a method is posted on open forum that can only be described as a bit iffy, how have you the audacity to assume that all the readers have the same intellectual prowess that you obviously have meyrick?? And sorry Chris, to admit using a drill chuck for a "Small (Very)" milling job beggars belief.
18/09/2009 15:25:25
Bits of flying HSS cut unbelievably deeply Meyrick. and even with the disposable income of SOME, PROPPER cutters are quite expensive.
 
  NEVER consider "over H&S", your employer doesn't HAVE to pay your wages for self inflicted injuries.
 
  Had I done something like that as a slave, the injuries would have been CLASSED as self inflicted by the toolroom forman holding the bit of 4 x 2 he'd just massaged my memory with.
 
   Regards  Ian.

I know I'm about to be castigated for doing it, but we were so heartbroken at the loss of such an endearing family member, Zan was given full burial at the local depot WITHOUT having the indignity of his entrails being ripped out after the cause of the non communication lines were found. Bloody printed tracks/wireing, and before any say "conductive silver inks" I used to earn a living in the electronics sector.
 
   Dead is Dead, trust me I'm a Yorkshireman.
 
  Regards  Ian.
 
  Sorry guys for the highjack, put it down to the mourning process.

Oh you are a Bu---r Mark, reading your exploits avidly, What is amazing is that such a simple principle is so difficult to get working properly. A mate (Klank) was driven to destruction nearly with one of these things.  Small point, most who use propper bearings seem to wash ALL the lubricants out.
 
  On the shopping front, had to go buy a new microwave yesterday, its predecessor only lasted for 26 years, damned Italian junk.
 
   Regards  Ian.
Thread: Engine building without power tools

And don't forget that SOME manufacturers have been know to increase the weight of their products by forgetting to clean the casting sand out before painting. - Don't arf lap spindles in quickly.
