Gentlemen, thank you for you help and direction.

Brian

Thanks Bill, Its an age thing, the diameter should read 0.3mm.

I need to drill a very small 0.03mm diameter hole in steel to form a pilot hole light for a propane gas burner. Can it be drilled and what sort of equipment would be required.

I'm nearing completion of a DW Mk 2 and looking for input with regard to the oil grade in the gearbox. The build manual indicates a light machine oil to be used, help from others would be useful, what was used?

Please no groundnut, sunflower or olive responses or the thread could just go on and on.

How much shrinkage did you get, outside diameter and height?

Did you get the enterprise off the ground? If you did, I need three small patterns cast in three different materials SG iron, Ally and Bronze, the job is yours.

Brian

No Connection, Gloster Tooling have Internal Morse Taper wiper on Ebay.

Brian

No connection at all but try Metal Supermarket you may be lucky.

Brian

Very interested, really depends on location in the UK, types and grade of metals, most of all cost. Good luck with your enterprise keep us posted.

If its SG iron and you have a job.

I had a very good result with Acrypol+ on a flat roof same problem you are having. Would recommend scrape off all the loose detritus, if you feel inclined flood cote the surface with a week grout, then coat. The product can be applied in any weather its fibre filled and will cover cracks if there are any it lasts a lifetime, old overalls to be worn.

www.acrypolproducts.co.uk/ no link with the company just a satisfied customer.

Graham, not sure if you received my message but would like to be included in this fantastic offer, please put me on the list.

Kind regards

Message me I may be able to help. I have recently cast and machined a new Dore Westbury base ready for a bottom end rebuild.

Brian

If it aint broke dont fix it, sorry

I would recommend doing it. I did my Ml7 and think its the best mod one could do, I would also change the nut at the same time cheep as chips but makes a world of difference.

Brian

Has anybody used the Eccentric Engineering paring tool. I'm thinking of going for it but would appreciate any feedback, its not cheep. I have been using their tangential tool for some time and have no problem with the quality of their products, but would like to know if this parting tool performs compared with other tools on the market.

Brian

I use a 12 bore chamber brush for M2 taper, they are not steel brushes but do the job, not sure if they would do for M3.

Brian

Had to press the compatibility button to reveal all, you waved your wand, thanks Jason.
