Epoxy reacts with prolonged setting when:

- not mixed thoroughly or in bad proportions. Mix to white or even colour. I often add a small part (less than 3%) of paint (artist oil coolurs) to help securing an even mix.

- to low temperature. Place near heating or rise the temperature in the room.

- addition of an inhibitor of any kind. Start over again.

From my experience, if an inhibitor is mixed in by fault, and if not fully cured within 24 hours, you have to start over again. I have also experience an accelerator mixed in by fault, and it set in seconds during mixing.

Any language, depending on the listener I think. !!!! Except for the Swedes where they are told that a laughter should be short and military, Ha! Ha!

Then I am happy to tell we don't have any elf or gremlin here in this country, only troll and nisse. But they do have the same behaviour, hiding your tools and parts, when looking around you only hear a gleeful laugh from behind a shelf.

Living in Texas?

No coal for firing? Then use coke !

Here we wish it could print electricity instead of using it.

Only Makita works for me. Quality, batteries last a long time both for the 18Volts and the 10Volts.

Bosch is today pronounced "shit", which they are, in Norwegian.

Never do that, I did it on another sitation and ended up in hospital and had a serious surgical operation. The rope broke a cervical vertebra and nearly lamed me from neck and down.

Swarf Engineering ?

Yes, a Sieg design from some years ago. Little Machine Shop is selling Sieg stuff.

I have Emco and A&R QCTPs on my lathes and lot of tool holders, so I will try sell the surplus from the lot. I think they are not in sale anymore so hope to find a chap that still has and use them.

OZ collets it is, thank you.

Terje

The collets are all part of the box in photo 5. Metric set of 3,4,6,8,10,12,16 mm collets with milling chuck MT3? and spanner. Unused still oiled and in plastic bags.

Some more photos. Any help to identify them are apreciated.

As part of a lot obtained some months ago I found three set of toolings whch I have not seen before.

The chuck backplate was mounted to the 125mm chinese chuck but to put on which lathe.

The QCTP has a geometry unknown to me. Any sugestions.

The collet set is not an ER set but what type of collets. Longer than my ER32.

All are unused and in good conditions. Bought from Little Machine Shop, USA some years ago the seller said. Searched the site but could not find them.

I hope for some help as I intend put them up for sale and like to have some information in the ad.

Rest of the lot will be put into good use in my workshop.

What is Facebook ?

Reminds me of Tom Lehrer singing:

"Once the rockets are up, who cares were they get come down ?

That's not my department" says Werner von 'Braun.

The answer to my OP is yes, if you by them from A&R Precision.
Information from forum members and A&R Precision together resulted in my decision for an order. The parcel landed a week ago and today I could test them. They fit one hundred per cent with the Emco tool post and tool holders. Now I can mount one toolpost on my Emcomat 7L and one on my Emco Maximat V10p. I will shim the tool posts up so the top is exactly the same hight over center on both lathes. Then I can use all tool holders on both tool posts..

Hi Doug

If I understand you correctly the dimensions are:

1 - 25mm

2 - 20mm

3 - 52mm

4 - 25mm

5 - 35mm

If you send me your email adress in a PM I will return a scan of the instruction sheet.

Hi Doug,

I will do tomorrow.

Hi

I have Model 45 from Mega-UK

The blade rise at an angle of 10mm to 135mm. It has served me well for 16 years in cutting pcb, brass and alu.

Thank you for your answers,

The Emco toolpost looks exactly like the one advertized by RDG tools on ebay:

**LINK**

I was given an Emco QCT and five tool-holders for my maximat V10P . I need more holders but they seem all to be gone from Ebay.

When looking at the Dixon type toolpost and holders for ML7 they look very similar. The Emco is a Dixon style I think. The Emco QCT are stamped S00/M MA. The Chronos type for ML7 is called T00 DIXON STYLE.

From Chronos I have got the overall dimensions for their ML7 QCT and tool-holders. In size they are quite close but as always "Devil is in the details" The details are the T-slot and angels in the interlocking and aligning part.

Does anyone here know if it will fit?
