There is another japanese saw that is useful, with no set on the teeth you can cut flush without marking the surface. |

There is one great advantage in having UK sources of oil and coal (including new Oil and new coal) is that you SAVE the transport costs and emissions bring it from far off places for as long as we need it to allow the green steps to be safely taken. Anyway, how much of the worlds emissions do we contribute? Quite a low % I would guess. |

The last couple of issues of ME show only Maidstone and Western Steam, and they make only copper boilers. Souhern Boiler Works are still very much in the business of copper boilers. |

Thread: Replacement Bearings - Myford ML7 Motor |
29/06/2023 14:33:42 |
I am somewhat sceptical about the motor bearings being white metal (inspite of the infomation stated). White metal bearings need more than infrequent lubrication and I have not seen a ML7 motor with other than just a hole that endeavours to fill up with swarf. Am I wrong? |
Thread: Cure for Tight Nuts |

The metal flow when goughing reminds me just like the metal and dross flow when using a thermic lance to cut concrete. |

Air Drawbar pic for Bridgeport |
07/06/2023 09:22:43 |
I made and fitted a pneumatic drawbar for my Bridgeport, what with its riser and off floor pads, the top is quite high. Works every time without locking the spindle although I can if I wanted to. |

Thread: What does this symbol mean? |
24/05/2023 20:17:34 |
I am sure it shows what it says. Two identical windings, 1:1 ratio, Completely isolated for safety. In other words an isolation transformer. |

Thread: Myford levelling on industrial stand |
17/05/2023 19:30:45 |
Myford Series 7 machine aged raw castings were inverted and the 4 feet machined to a common level. The casting was then placed the right way up and secured to the machine bed. The top, front and rear ways were then machined to the correct outline before being transferred to a grinding machine when the final profiling took place. None of the 3 Myfords I possess have been difficult to "level". If you are making your own raised mounting blocks, a threaded pipe reducer makes a good adjuster, before tightening the throughbolt as required. This enables the block to be bolted into position first, so you are dealing only with the minor variation in height that may be required. |
