Hi Andrew,

I suggest making a new casting.

Peter.

Hope this helps.

Hi Geo,

I was not trying to be pedantic only stating my opinion, also i have no idea as to the correctness of my use of "from whence".

Peter.

Hi Neil,

All rules come from somewhere, knowing from whence they come should surely not invalidate them.

Peter.

Hi Neil,

As editor I would expect you would correct (remove) errors, not add them.

Fill out an incident report form and file it.

Hi Simon,

Many yeas ago I bought a dremel, used it very little but once it was out of warranty the motor gave up and couldn't be repaired. Now I buy the cheapest rotary tool I can find and treat them as consumable items.

And good morning to you too Steve.

Hi Greg,

I would take a skim off the inside of your fabricated body with a boring bar, then lap the bore and make a slightly bigger piston.

Hi Colin,

The "soft" wheels on your grinder aren't green are they? I they are then they are for sharpening tungsten carbide tooling, and are not cheap.

Hope this helps.

Hi Michael,

You could post your query here some members know a lot about obscure microscopes.

Hope this helps.

Hi Muzzer,

My experience of airships is 0, however my understanding is that when they are being loaded/unloaded they are tethered (anchored). Also (my understanding) buoyancy is controlled by compressing/decompressing the flotation gas.

Peter.

Find a sewing machine to put it on.

Hi Philip,

I have a combination lathe/mill and although I would love to have the space and finances to have two dedicated machines I manage to get cope things done within the limitations of the lathe/mill. I have never used a vertical slide on a lathe however I feel the mill on a combination machine would be slightly better.

If you can only acquire one machine I would say go for it.

Hope this helps.

Hi David,

I think you needed venting at a couple of points, also (possibility) a shrink bob.

If you want much more in depth answers try here.

Hope this helps.

Hi Robert,

You should take the blade back to where you bought it an have it repaired or replaced.

For a new band you could look here (usual disclaimer).

Hope this helps.

Peter.

That's what I do,

Peter.

Hi Brian,

I would put the cylinder in the lath and machine the offending bits off.

Hope this helps.

Peter.

Hi Robert,

Buy a band saw, and make jaws to hold short parts. You will never regret it.

Hope this helps.

Peter.
