Hi Meyrick>>

Thanks for your reply>>

I was being led by the drawing saying grind in the valve plug but what you say sound good to me. Basically making the cutter/reamer and plugs at the same setting and keeping the quality good means there should be no or little problem.>>

Unfortunately I work overseas most of the year which some what slows progress on my Allchin. However, I have a small Sherline that I use in my overseas apartment so progress can be made on smaller parts. I will make these parts following your advice but will not be able to test them until I get back to the UK in December.>>

Again Thanks>>

Hi >>

As a grumpy old so & so I enjoy all your rant and rave but it's not answering the question. I seem to remember way back that one or some of the model engineering associations worked with HSE regarding our boilers and some common sense was agreed in the form of a standard which was published in ME. If this is correct it would be helpful if the ME associations could work with ME magazine, and post the regs as they apply to us on this site. This is important information may of us need so easy access would be a great bonus.>>

All this traceability seems to be about tracing all those that can be held to account for what ever has gone wrong, as such you would expect all those along the line to take more care in providing what ever it is they provide. >>

Although I agree that HSE goes over the top, for such a critical item as a boiler some commonsense easy to apply standard guidance would be of benefit. I believe or boiler designs have stood the test of time and are very safe designs so there safety is down to the individual construction and the final tests.>>

Were regs published in ME or am I mistaken?>>
