Hi Jason your link only seems to go to part one. Unable to find any continuation sites

I have a set of Draper telescopic bore gauges, (both anvils move) and agree with the comments above regarding minor fettling etc.

However two important points I have found are:

1. when tightening the adjustment knob hold the gauge at the very end of the handle just below the locking knob.

2. then using only one finger to gently move the handle to set the anvils

If the handle is held lower down nearer to the work an error occurs when the knob is tightened.

I find repeatable results within 0.0005”

The following are extracts of emails between myself and CHRONOS. I leave readers to make up their own minds.

Hi Recently received 1/4" Brass Hex x 300mm ordered through your ebay site on 30/5/19, price £3.92. Rather annoyed to see that on your online website the price is only £2.64. Why the discrepancy?

Reply from CHRONOS

Hi

Our minimum order a the the website is £6.00- ebay does not allow this on there site,also ebay take 10-15%of the total from us s well as listing fees etc, so it is generally better to shop at the website rather than ebay

Hi,

I notice Ramon Wilson used to post on this forum but I have not seen any posts from him for a while. Anyone know if he has moved to another forum?

I am trying to obtain copies of his updated plans for the ED Racer (I have the one in MEW) anyone know of a source?

I am also trying to obtain plans for a Boll Aero 4.4 engine if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Seasons Greetings to everyone.

On another forum someone posted that there is a 5 bearing modification for Chester 626 Mills / Warco VMC mill. Does anyone know of this modification for VMC mill spindles?

Congratulations Martin your microscope is a credit to you.

I know Ramon and other are using Titanium 'hangers'. Does the Titanium have to be 100% purity? I notice on ebay that Titanium wire is available but is only 97% pure.

PS Has anyone used printer inks, and if so with what results.

I found that the bolt holes on my Warco were not on the same PCD or equidistant!

I've had a Warco VMC for several years and have found the following mods very useful

DRO essential in my opinion

6" head raising block. 4" probably all that's required

Spindle lock to make tool changes easier

Draw bar release tool

Inverter Drive very useful.

Problems;

Original machine travel specs. did not match catalogue

Table soft easily marked

One shot oiler not very good some points over oiled other starved of oil.

Would be useful if Y axis travel was greater.

Hi David,>>

Thanks for replying.>>

I followed the instructions from an email received from My Hobby Store titles 'Your latest Digital Issue has arrived' Using a PC this directed me to log in - go to My Account - Digital Issues.> This came up with a 'subscriber only content warning. So went to 'My Details' to enter Subscriber No. The instructions here clearly state 'enter 10 digit number and explain where this can be obtained. No mention I can find about deleting zeros.>

Anyway the system now seems to be working thanks.

Regards,

I have entered my 10 digit subscription number, however it does not seem to be saved. Tried several times same result so unable to access digital version of mag.

Some may be interested in this online auction. Usual disclaimers!
