Thread: Rotary table stops
14/08/2010 15:17:38
Thanks for the replies.
 
Kwil - I have found that a better finish can be obtained with coolant. Perhaps that's just me.
 
Geoff - I should be so lucky. My table has 6 slots. I did post a picture in the gallery, but did not actually achieve the insertion into my posting.
 
On my last 'rotary' job, I overturned the table by a few degrees and had to stick a bit of metal back.   This job highlighted the requirement to do the job properly with some stops.
 
Thanks again

Does anyone have any ideas they are willing to share for rotary table stops. The table markings are very clear, but disappear when covered in coolant!
 
I have to round off 16 corners in 1/2" steel so thought some stops to restrict the table movement to 90° would be useful. The groove around the circumference is parallel sided.  My only idea to date is to axially drill the bottom of the groove, at say 10° intervals to hold some stops.
 
I have a feeling there may be a simpler solution....
 
Thanks

Thread: Portable bandsaws - any good?
22/07/2010 10:03:57
I've had a Femi bandsaw for some years now. Bought from one of the Model Engineer shows at Ally Pally.
It looks like a toy, but it's a superb machine. The guy selling them was cuttings disks about 1mm thick from a 50mm round bar.
I have lots of tools I could do without, but not this one!

It may be more appropriate to ask your question on a model flying forum. RCMF has at least a couple of members in France.  http://www.rcmf.co.uk/4um/

Thread: MEW No 159
28/01/2010 15:50:53
This issue contained David Haythornthwaite's excellent article on the adjustable grinding head.>>

 >>

Am I the only person somewhat miffed that the article is incomplete? Insofar that to build the project, you have to purchase a book on how to build the most important part i.e. the spindle assembly.>>

 >>

I sincerely hope that this is not a sign of things to come. - To have half an article in the magazine, then have to buy a book to complete it. This is the first time that I can remember this happening, and I am only missing two issues since No1.

 >>

I hope David can be persuaded to show us the rest of this machine, by means of a full article, or further articles in MEW. He shows the machine on his website.
