There's a reference to fits and play in the book ` A Beginners Guide to Model Steam Locomotives' By Tim Coles. In my copy it's on pages 109 - 110 in the coupling rod subsection. Hope that helps.

Hello everyone,
Here in the States someone has developed a new toolholder.It's called the Wimberley or Wimberly toolholder. If you Google that in you can get to his website.

Thread: Machining a block to have sides square to each other

Hello ,
Thanks to everyone for replying . I was on vacation and not able to reply this past week. I've got an angle plate and a set of the Harold Hall (?) high profile clamps and of course G- clamps.

How does one machine a block square on a milling machine without the use of a machine vice? What is the sequence of operations?
Thread: Visit to London

Greetings,
I'm laying over in London for 12 hours on a trip to Nepal in October. Can anyone recommend a day trip into London that would be of interest to a model engineer?

Hello everyone,
                          I finished making one of the MEW 156 toolholders two weeks ago and I just want to add my praise . I tried it out on different types of steel , brass, and bronze and it worked well on everything. I liked it so much I made a second one to hold  .250" toolbits. This one has a about a  .500" shank with the bit holding screw lowered slighty.On this holder I used a truss headed machine screw to hold the bit; no nut. It seems to hold the toolbit securely. Apparently a truss head machine screw has a larger head than a regular machine screw.
                           I know the toolholder won't work in all situations but I appreciate the ease of grinding the toolbits. I've never been able to get the hang of grinding toolbits freehand and I've never gotten around to building a proper grinding rest with fences.
                           I too would like to see that description of the threading toolholder. And does anyone have any ideas about making a round bit toolholder?
                           For what it's worth I have a Chinese mini-lathe.
