Sounds like the Airfix model that was about 10 long.

I've just called Chester and they said a 13amp fuse would be ok. seems a bit high as the motor on my WM14 mill is protected with a 2amp fuse.

not done it yet, the link you posted was to this forum posting.

That's for the mains plug

I've just blown the fuse on the front panel of my conquest super lathe. I can see the fuse is F rated but can't read the current. Does any know what size fuse is required.

I know what you mean I did the same as I used a slitting saw for the first time.

On a WM14 mill is it preferable to run 620 rpm in the high ratio or 620 in the low ratio?

I recently contacted the ME magazine publishers to cancel my subscription as I no longer wished to receive the magazine. They responded by telling me they had cancelled my subscription and that I would receive 14 more issues. I told them that didn't want the magazine and would they please refund me for the cost of the remaining 14 issues. They told me they didn't do refunds so I'm now out of pocket and will be receiving a magazine I no longer want.

I dropped the speed down to 1000 rpm.and it worked fine,

I have been cutting some slots in aluminium using a 1/4" end mill running at 2800 rpm and hand fed with a depth of 30 thou. The aluminium is sticking to the end mill and closing up the flutes. How do I over come this

If you don't have any transfer paper you can create "transfer" in the following way

select design reduce to correct size and print out on ordinary printer paper

when ink is dried apply two coats of clear nail varnish allow drying between coats

cut out and soak in water

rub off paper and you'll be left with a "transfer" ready to be applied.

Love the term " manually fabricated "

Not forgetting striped or tartan paint.
