Hello, I’ve not received a digital copy since issue 312. My subscription doesn’t run out until June 2022. Anyone else having problems.

Thanks, Steve.

Hello, thanks everyone for your ideas and quick response. I now have enough information as to which way to go. Unfortunately space is at a premium and I will have to make the set up portable. As always plenty of knowledge amongst forum members.

Regards, Steve.

Hello, I have recently acquired a wolf jahn jig borer and a chronos wheel cutting engine, unfortunately neither has a electric motor. I would be obliged if anyone has any idea which type and brand of motor would be suitable keeping in mind that I would prefer a simple on/off switch rather than a foot switch.

Thanks, Steve.

Hello,not sure if this is the right thread. Why do I have to use Adobe to view most of the back issues of Model Engineers Workshop. I’ve not had any problems in the past.

thanks,

Hello,

Thanks for the input from everyone it's good to know that there is plenty of experience out there.

I think Dave that you may have hit the nail on the head about the grease on the gears,I will give it a try when I am in the workshop next week.

Thanks again everyone,

Steve.

There is no smell and the speed controller is not hot.

Silly old duffer, when you say remove the plug to allow access to grease the gears do you mean the clear plastic sight glass on the right hand side near the control knob for the low gears as there is no info in the operating instructions as to what that is.

The quill does not feel very hot, it feels the same as always,it does not feel tight and is not running rough.

Are there any lubrication points around the spindle as there is no information in the operating instructions

Hello,

I need some help with WM18 mill.

I have recently been machining a 144 tooth clock wheel on my mill and light coloured smoke has been coming from around the quill area.To machine the brass gear using a thornton cutter I am running a speed of 1500rpm and although the machine is over 5 years old I have not experienced anything like this before.

Any ideas please?

Thanks,

Steve.

Hello

Thanks to all who replied and I do hope that you can sort out the problem Neil.

Thanks again

Hello,

I have been trying to download my digital subscription onto my Mac book and I am unable to do so. I have been in touch with Pocket Mags and they say that it is not available for Mac computers,if that is so why not.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve.
