A camera doesn't check that the door is closed, it still requires a human to look at it.

I'm presuming the 'other methods' I mentioned are part of a multi layered checking process now.

When the Herald of Free Enterprise capsized I write to my mp suggesting that it would be simple to fit an interlock so that the ship could not go forward if the bow doors were open, ditto reverse. I received a verbose but badly argued response from whichever minister was responsible stating that the captain had to be in full command of the ship at all times. Relying on someone checking that the door is shut on a process repeated many times a day is bound to go wrong. Humans make mistakes more frequently than we like to admit.

That’s because they are supplying proper Imperial stuff, Ron

Time to roll-out the “quote” that is often attributed to john Ruskin:

"There is hardly anything in the world that someone cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price alone are that person's lawful prey."

Us oldies are being "robbed blind" - over £43/wk (£185.15 - £141.85) just for having wrong DOB. I thought that ageism was against the law?? And a further £159 for a TV licence. Half of Europe doesn't have TV licences. One of the worst old age pensions in Europe. Lieing bastards promised the first WW conscripts a return to a land of milk n honey. Reality: mass unemployment and no dole.

Non comprendez. What exactly are you trying to pull? I think you are trying hard to make things difficult for replies and actually doing the job.

The sensible way would be to cut a centre and support with a tailstock centre?

I keep promising myself to buy a Noga tool where do you think is the best place to buy one from as a number of places sell them. E Bay has some but how do you know that they are genuine tools as some say they are Noga yet do not have the name on the handle. I do not use Amazon or Arceuro 1 I would not trust with a barge pole and the other does not take Paypal

I have a rear parting toolpost I made for my Harrison M250 but I find that it isn't dig-ins that are the problem. What happens is that a bit of swarf welds itself in the cut , jamming everything up. So I am very cautious about parting off, I keep my hand on the clutch lever all the time so I can stop it quickly if it goes wrong.
