I believe it's called 'badge engineering' and has been going on for years, I looked at some over priced Barbour wellies recently and they were not made in the UK.

I thought that part of the 'planning process' was that water companies etc had to sign off on them if there was sufficient infrastructure to cope? Someone please advise.

Tony

I'm all for returning the UK to the green and pleasant land it once was, but sadly I'm not in charge!

Tony

Hmm, bit of a sweeping statement, so a screw cutting tool of say 30 degrees included angle would be ok in your view? Full disclosure, I used to use the set over method but now use full form inserts.

Tony

IanT, you are spot on!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unfortunately politicians of all colours will not see it until it is too late, I will be gone when the brown stuff hits the fan but I have children and grandchildren who will go through the crisis. I'm also thinking the uncontrolled worldwide population growth will be a 'challenge'.

Tony

Interesting listing! Price I would think is 'unrealistic''?

Tony

I would say not, but maybe someone on here knows better.

There is a Colchester and Harrison lathe owner’s group on Facebook, may be worth asking them?

The WM290V does not have a screw cutting gearbox the GH600 does, so a metric version of the GH600 is more suited to your needs, neither have a screwed on chuck so reversing the spindle is no problem.

I too have a manual but will need full details to get any further, also B & S spares suppliers have full diagrams of engine/ignition components.

For God's sake give the guy a break!!! A knife is only a tool and as for the comment 'I would prefer to use what modest skills and facilities I enjoy to benefit society!', what a sanctimonious twit is my politest retort. I will not bother to look at this thread any more.

As a practical engineer I immediately thought that a press fit will not work, others seem to be of the same opinion.Maybe Loctite a bush to the shaft and turn the O/D to size.

Tony

Dell, looks to me like there is enough clearance on the shoulder side.

Tony

I presume you have a digital readout on the lathe or control, watch to see what position it is going to at each cut, that will give you a good idea what is going on, also speak to Rocketronics? You tool also needs sharpening

Tony

It isn't new technology and you can't beat physics as I believe Mr Rush was told.

Tony

God what a trip down memory lane, last time I saw one of those in action must be 45 plus years ago in a small machine in Luton.

Tony

Holy cow that is very expensive BTW Hemingway do a kit for rotary broaching. The one I purchased from eBay had an undersized shank so was returned as 'not fit for purpose'

Tony

Yes I used Silver steel but my little torch just could't get the broach hot enough.
