Thread: Model Engine Gear Wheel Suppliers
16/10/2014 13:08:37

The other person I use is John Ward Tel No 01282-869262 and web page WWW.latheparts.co.uk as well as his parts and accessoreies for old and obsolete lathes and mills he can make most gears out of most materials,spurs,helicals,bevels,and worm and wheels all at reasonable prices.

Thread: Custom cross slide
16/10/2014 13:03:17

I wonder if you managed to fine a Tee slotted cross slide you could try John Ward on No 01282-869262 he has a web page at WWW.latheparts.co.uk he has made replacement parts and accessories for old and obsolete lathes and millers for years at reasonable prices he also makes most types of gears and accessories for laths and mills as well.(not a advert just a satified customer).

Thread: Model Engine Gear Wheel Suppliers

I also for got to add there are quite a few model engineering machinist that you can put your requirements to them and get a quote for gears that you might want.

The other way is seeing if there is any other model which uses similar gears that one of the model engineering suppliers keeps that gear in stock.

It worth looking on the net and on Ebay.

16/10/2014 12:50:16

The other firms that I have used for gears if I havn't made my own are Duval gears in Hartfield, WMH transmissions limited in Tamworth Staffordshire, and Relience gears.

Most of these you can buy on-offs I would think and these days lots of the model engineering suppliers seem to keep gears in stock

Thread: Cutting T slots
14/10/2014 11:26:28

The other way is or was cutting Tee-Slots on a shaper or planer,only simple tools are required.

Thread: 19TPI on South Bend Lathe
11/10/2014 20:01:34

The other way would be to set up to cut 38TPI then have it with on e of the driven gears

Thread: Silver Steel
03/10/2014 22:05:46

I have found that College engineering services keep some square Silver Steel

I wonder if anyone know if KEA108 with seleainum is still available,this is a free cutting silver steel which the clock makers seem to use for pinions because of it good free cutting machinability.

Thread: Machine tool breakers ?
02/10/2014 21:12:19

what kind of things are you looking for ,complete machines or parts or bit and accessories?

Thread: Silver Steel
28/09/2014 20:35:33

does anyone know if you can still get square silver steel?

Thread: Favourite Engineering quotes.

The lads at work when they try to explain why is does not go together is "fits on the CAD"that how we get racing cars together!!!!

28/09/2014 10:58:45

As my dad used to say go away lad with some paper and a pencil,come up with six ideas then chose between them.

Thread: Anyone ever hear of New England machine tools

Hi Ronan,

The Realm-Royal 10" which I spoke about earlier was taken over by Denfords who had taken over Tom Senior.

and later marketed under the Viceroy-Royal went metric from 10" now to 250mm and so I am told made up to 1979

Denfords moved resently and all the old drawing data base has been scaned and quite a lot of the parts of the shaper are in the archive drawing section of Viceroy machine tools so you if needed can look at the drawing to make new parts for either the Realm-Royal or the Denfords-Viceroy-Royal shapers.

26/09/2014 18:08:35

Rohan,

As well as the Alba and the Elliott the shaper look very much like the Realm-Royal 10" which developed in to the Viceroy-Royal 250mm they both have the same four speeds and the clutch and the top slide is the flat tenon type rather than the vee type.

Thread: Can you identify this travelling lathe steady?
25/09/2014 19:15:59

The Steady is a Raglan Little John's travelling steady.

Some one has said there are steadies being made.

I have made an enlarged fixed steady which takes up to 6 inch as is an enlarged copy of the original

This is the link to the steadies on the site

Thread: David Urwick's original Metalmaster
25/09/2014 15:03:50

The Labormill seems very simalar to the metalmaster with simalar attachments and about the same scoop to do any job.

http://WWW.lathes.co.uk/labormill/index.html

I run the Raglan Machine Tool website on Yahoo and have been asked from time to time of both of these machines.

I have seen the Labormill in the flesh but only pictures of the Metalmaster and I am very impressed by the tasks they both can take on.

Thread: Selecting off hand grinder wheels
25/09/2014 12:34:28

The link to the earlier mentioned posting on grinding wheel types and designation is

http://WWW.model-engineer.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=70502

I can also look up other wheel options that might suit.

Thread: Heat Treatment Colour Chart
23/09/2014 21:14:09

I have just got home and opened the MEW magazine.

Lot to read and very interesting subjects.

I have got to the steel heat treatment chart and the colours and the temperature at that colour.

What would of been very useful is the different items that we heat treat and the colour that we need to take the temper to for given tools.

This can be looked up in machinery's hand book or Tom D Walshaws (Tubal Cain) book in the workshop Practice Series No1 book but would of been very good if included on the colour chart which we could all cut out and laminate and have in our workshops.

What do other think?

Thread: Could an Chainsaw Sharpener become a Toolbit Shaper.

Hi Have a look on this site Wilfred has used a chain saw grinder to make a nice tool grinder.
