Very good series of programmes

Just musing on how much the block of gold was to mount in the chuck and turn convex?

He must keep track of his swarf !!!

It seemed to turn nicely

I have rung him previously about the larger fobco's and he has no stock of anything

Axminster power tools do them

If you only want the one pm me your address an I'll send you one

Hello from deepest nether edge sheffield

If there's anything you need metal or woodwork I,m here

This is an interesting video about insert geometry and how they work together on lathe and mills

Its a good 25 mins worth

I dont know how many you want to make but i'd buy some cheap knobs with the correct spline tun off the outside and bond into your nice brass knobs

I would use loctite 330 my glue of choice for differing awkward materials

The extension then would have no extraction facility

So connect blue and green , white and yellow, black and red together...then live to black red neutral to blue green cap to white yellow then other side of cap to live

It's almost certainly a 3 phase only motor

You can wire it for 415v or 240v working

It's wired at the mo for 415 working (star)

Can you post a picture of the plate and is there wiring diagrams in the connection box /lid the cap may be to generated a phantom phase with a 5uf cap

You need to wire it as delta connection first then live to one corner neutral to another the cap to the last corner and the other side of the cap to live

Has anyone else ordered and got their item?

Stuarts used to do alloy washers in a variety of thicknesses to get your fittings to the correct attitude

I had a dickson type on my student when i bought it

but sold it for lots of dosh on ebay £ 280 with 4 holders

I have the piston type large fitted with now 35 tool holders

Chronos do the tool holders for £25 ish but a few minutes work converts the smaller ( medium) size to a large size dovetail they are only £ 18 each

The dickson type is great but think about the costs of toolholders

It is exactly like a q-max cutter

the ram had a large body and large thread that can be repurposed as a bearing puller or anywhere else you may need 10tons of force albeit only over 20mm stroke

I have tried it on 2.5mm stainless 5 mm alloy so far 1mm steel it hardly stops at even at the large size 60mm or so

and fairly dreadfull feedback

but it did arrive very quickly 3 days

theres a spare seal kit with it and i've done 30 holes testing it on various materials and it works great

Yes the sizes are marked strangley but if you just select the size that you want rather than the marked size

I'm sure they are designed for electrical panel work

dies are easy enough to make if theres not the size you want

I bought from a local supplier a 6 ft length of hose with fittings last week for my floor press and that was £70

this machine complete for £40 seems crazy ( plus post)

this is the item number :221766558666

i saw this on eBay and at £50 it seemed a steal if it was any good

Postage within the uk was included it weighs 12kg so that must be costly by Royal Mail...anyway it arrived today and it's brill...there's lots of uses for the pump and ram and also using it for its intended use of punching holes in 3mm thick steel I'm sure I will use it lots

Yes clive i remember now

I have converted my lathe some time ago to belt drive and my ratios are 24 to 40 and place a 48 on the headstock end when i want the fast threads 4,5,6 tpi

sorry for my crap memory

Is that why my end mills were breaking then because I was only running at 1600?

From memory a 21 on the output shaft from the headstock and a 42 on the input shaft to the gearbox
