Hi Mac its the same as the T21320,or very similar to.

Regards Mark.

Hi Terry I have a WM250 lathe which is similar to yours, the 'H' is for the spacing collar. You should have a couple in with the change wheels. You might find one on the lathe on the end of the leadscrew. Hope that this helps you out

Hello all,I have just been given a nearly new 12" 3 in 1 brake press/shear/slip roll does anyone have a manual they could let me have a copy of please? Also the rollers are rusty (surface) would it be acceptable to skim them to clean them up as there is very slight pitting on them,I assume that that they will have to end up all the same diameter.

Regards Mark P.

Still an engineering question, ME related or not Bob.

Thanks for the replies,I will try your idea Neil. Jason I would like the hinges to match the rest of the hinges in my house, plus the door needs to rise as it is opened to clear the sloping floor and the door to fit the frame to keep the drafts down abit,(these old houses you know!)

Hello all,has anyone come across any rising tee hinges.I can find rising butt hinges,rising gate hinges but these are much too big for what I need.I need to use them on an internal door in my house,I have considered modifying some rising butt hinges but it seem a lot of work.

My opinion,cut it off!

I always bore my cylinders on the boring machine and then run a fine hone through them. By the way Will I still have a soft spot for the SLR but would prefer an AK47!

Hi Neil,don't want any but I love the exchange/barter system.

Hello David,I use marker pens.I pull half a dozen of them apart and soak the inner bits in meths in a bottle and voila lay out dye for pennies.

Grind off the heads and remove with a punch of the right size.

I think that it might be a semi-automatic self oscillating flange pin remover!

I quite agree with Springbok,some people have more money than sense, wouldn't give more than 30 Bob for one!

Floor plans are OK but they don't really work in the real world.Sometime ago I worked for an airline,we had a new hangar built which would house 3 757 aircraft at the same time which it would if one was craned in.Only my twopennerth.

You should have seen some of the drawings we got from Boeing and Airbus they were full of mistakes!

Hi Steve,I got a flight in a T6 Lightning just before I was demobbed from Binbrook ................What a trip!! It was the aircrafts penultimate flight before she was scrapped so it was given the beans, never been so fast.

Hi Steve I have a slab of polished granite from a stone masons (lump of grave-stone!) It's 75 mm X 300mm X 500mm I also have a bit of 12mm float glass for tramming my mill. Both bits were free,well only cost me a couple of pints.

Thanks for all the comments,I will sleep on it for a bit but I think that I would be able to use my normal electric drill fitted to a stand for that odd occasion where precision is not required.

Thanks again regards Pailo.

Thanks for the information,have now dismissed the Idea!

Hello all,I am after a bit of advice.In my smallish workshop I have a floor standing pillar drill,I am considering getting rid of it as it takes up too much room, plus it only gets used once in a blue moon.In fact I can't think when I last used it. I seem to be able to use my mill for 98% of my drilling requirements.The question is will I regret getting rid? Your collective knowledge and advice would be welcome.

Regards Pailo.
