A floating tap holder.?

Thread: What happened to the Myford sale thread?
16/07/2011 04:05:20
RDG buying all the spares may not be such a bad thing,at least it gives Myford owners all over the world access to them.

I was about to order a leadscrew nut (part #A1975/3) for my Super 7,when the original thread started.Being in Canada I obviously can't attend the sale,so if anyone aquires any at the sale I would interested in one.Thanks,Neil.

It may be Unobtainium!
Thread: Bridgeport jammed knee
13/02/2011 22:50:40
The practical machinist site certainly is informative and very amusing too,the method described first obviously works,but I wonder how many home workshops would have what would be needed to lay a Bridgeport on it's back,drill a 1" dia. hole in the base and heat the knee to 300 deg.?
13/02/2011 20:09:11
It may help if you removed the drip tray?
13/02/2011 19:28:53
The pressure can also be relieved with a jack.
13/02/2011 17:29:32
A crowbar may move it!
13/02/2011 16:59:10
Mine is about flush with the knee,what about a piece of threaded rod with a nut each end,and a suitable bit at the top,then unscrew them.
Thread: MT2 collet slipping
09/02/2011 23:48:12
I don't beeelieve it,i.e.That a company such as Clausing(and others)would produce a milling machine with a set of collets that were incapable of holding a cutter securely,and may even require a brave man to use them! Unless of course MJG knows something that they didn't? I don't believe that either.Andrew J. is correct about the R8 keyway,it is the taper that does the holding,I too have used a mill without the pin with no trouble at all. Yours grippingley V.Meldrew.

My Clausing model 8520 milling machine has a #2MT spindle and the cutters from 1/8 to 1/2 dia. are held in a collet,I have never had one come loose in the past 30 years!and it has had far more use than any hobby only machine.To remove a cutter requires a sharp blow with a copper hammer and a block of hard wood between table and quill.There are pictures and information about these very well made ,versatile and accurate machines on Google.I t would be hard to find a machine of this size that would be more suited to model engineering than the 8520.
Thread: Late delivery of magazines due to adverse weather
15/01/2011 21:02:12
Assuming that whitby is in the UK,can someone please tell me how I managed to get ME #4393 just before he did?I am about 3500 miles further on!
Thread: My subscription is running out
13/01/2011 20:10:19
I had a call from Exp.Mag two days ago,advising me that my sub. to ME expires with #4394 but no letter yet.I recieved #4393 today.
06/01/2011 18:52:48
I have just  visited ExpressMag website.ME is$129 +13% tax=$145.77,exactly the same as  in Jeff's letter.Where are you getting your info. from David?
Thread: 4 1/2 MT
13/10/2010 22:21:34
My Tool Engineers Handbook (1949) lists 6.5 &7.5 MT,the 7.5 has the same taper as the 4.5 & 0,ie 0.624 per ft.,but the 6.5 is 0.62565 per ft..Very usefull information!
Thread: What would you pay?
02/10/2010 17:32:29
No need to worry about VAT as the seller only  ships to USA from Switzerland.I wonder if he would take $20 for just the drawers? They would be usefull for keeping the emery cloth clean.Although the engine is described as being handmade, it has a CNC look about it to me,as do the spares.
Thread: Shine a Light

ROW don't need a middleman,why do we?
Thread: Copyright
26/08/2010 02:27:04
I have 14 facs. volumes,the most recent is Vol.143 (part one)1977.the oldest is vol. 1 1898. Both have adverts. Neil.
Thread: Cutting Bevel Gears
25/04/2010 18:53:48
I cut the differential bevels for my 3" scale Fowler using the parallel depth method,and found the Lammas information to be the most usefull,better than the Law book (imho).The gears meshed surprisingly well. Regards Neil.
