Sorry to hear that Tug, I for one was looking forward to seeing the BR2 completed.

3.8 the reamer has a lot of work to do!!. I assume it’s a typo.

Look at these Vintage speetog clamps on our favourite auction site.

Hair off hides not heads

The only thing with fitting a collar is that you are stuck with one size/ dia of graver, I use several sizes and don’t find height setting an issue as you only have to raise or lower the handle a smigin to find the sweet spot which I find is different for different materials. Nice job though and nice to see someone using them!

No 1 Stripping the hair off hides???

Just google mew index it’s all there. If you put Gorin in the search bar it all comes up good luck.

I use a stand alone vertical digit slide on my raglan mill with the rest from machine dro. I have checked the vertical and personally can’t fault it.

Sorry but I thought that the idea behind GHTs Upt was the fact that it was for model makers. If you want bigger use a run of the mill drilling machine, it will also have a decent size column.

Robert, your father would not have used silicon bronze to oxy cast iron he would have used manganese bronze, very similar to look at but very different behaviour on cast iron.

Is it possibly a bahtinov mask

Lathes .co .uk have a belt supplier.

Hemingway sensitive tool just after building, lower is 1a upper is 316

+1 for j b cutting tools and definitely Iscar or kennemetal tips.

Have you tried using thick walled tube and machining a step in it, part off, anneal and form the shape as before. You then are able to insert the frame and have a frame trim on the outside.

Reeves list several lubricators

Jason please don’t use diy silicone it’s full of acid, use automotive gasket silicone it’s chemistry is different no corrosive elements.

Made the Hemingway/Marco version during lockdown, what a revelation I thought my knurling were passable before but now their pretty to look at and repeatable which is useful as generally there’s more than one on most jobs. Nice kit to make.

If the mill is not complaining (noisy) when this happens I think I would go for hold down problems, but as somebody said previously are your cuts too ambitious and are the cutters sharp. Plus one for the paper but not thick.

DMB , Treadplate comes in several thicknesses.
