Or Musk Starlink Satellites tonight at 20.58.

What machine have you got Phil?

The tumbler will be removed as stepper reversal can done by electrical switching. If not by the SW, by an additional switch to alter the winding energisation.

Starts scribbling with biro to use it up so the cap can be pinched.

After a minor hiccough with the first attempt I have managed to squeeze the stepper motor into the change-wheel housing of my S7. The first attempt left me unable to close the door without modifying it.
Mk2 means the door can be left unmolested so the lathe can be returned to stock if my efforts prove to be a monumental disaster. The next job is to mount and make the drive for the rotary encoder.

I've followed this thread from its inception. I plan to drive my Super 7's lead-screw via 90 degree skew gears thus containing the stepper motor completely within the change-gear compartment. To design and make the mounting requires the removal of the banjo but I became side-tracked with other more pressing tasks.

Now I'm back on track I'll try and put up some photos of my progress,

Can anyone point me to a on-line resource to help me identify the code of some carbide tips I have please.

track circuiting what pray tell?

Not wasted if you understand it. Production of a handful of motorcycles will benefit a handful of people. HS2, if completed, will benefit much of the population, even to those parts of the country as far flung from the network such as Aberystwyth.

I'm not too sure about the choice of material for the duplicate gun stock.

Particularly those most verciferous.

Nothing new there!

Interesting use of the bandsaw as a power-file towards the end of the video when he was making the knight.

Please can we use the correct Whyte notation and call it an 0-4-2 locomotive? Christmas rant over.

If iron, without a specialist muffle to do a pre-weld preheat and (more importantly) post-weld normalise I wouldn't even think about welding. Brazing would be far safer thus minimising the likelihood of producing brittle carbides each side of the weld.

Ali is a completely different ball o' wax.

I'm a little unsure why a number of us are getting all excited about varying voltages with varying lamp-holders. Similar pattern incandescent lamps and their LED replacements have been available for years in both 24v and 230v with B27 and GU9 bases

Additionally both 24v and 110v lamps are available with E27 bases of the same pattern

Do I smell Snake Oil?

For intellectual completeness could you provide a bearing part No?

Can you get access to a shaper? They are one of those much undervalued machines well suited to such tasks.
