Thread: How to drill hardened and ground steel
29/05/2010 10:04:24
Going back some way in this post, I have been using these for a fair while.

The smaller sizes are cheap enough to throw away, and do a good job. Their ground bulk twist drills are great value for money, and are very good quality, and I think you will be hard pressed to find household fixings and screws etc any cheaper. You can buy thousands of items like washers and nuts for a few squid or pence in some cases.

PS This thread will self destruct (or delete itself) on the stroke of midnight.
 
Just on another note, it is moderation like this that makes me leave sites as well.
 
There is only one thing worse than 'holier than thou's', and that is bad and overbearing moderation. If that is what it is like here, I don't think you would like my candid views of certain types of people that I have already mentioned.
 
It looks like it is a good job I only called in to put things straight.

I was directed here by a model engineering friend, and I hope to clear up this matter once and for all, but also add something.
 
I was fully aware of the article well before it was published because the author of it had already asked for my permission to use my text and pictures in the Model Engineer magazine.
 
As a lot of you know, all I am interested in nowadays is helping people to get started on the road to making things with their own hands, and if my postings can be used for that effect, that is all the reward I expect.
 
If the article did generate a sum of money, then I would expect the article writer to submit it to a charity of his choice. That is his personal choice, not mine, I want no part of it, even though most of the text and pictures are of my making.
 
I don't know why I have a following, maybe it is because I try to explain even the simple things in laymans terms, rather than trying to baffle people with bullsh and one upmanship, which happens much too often nowadays, not just on websites, but in magazines as well, hence I subscribe to no magazines any more, and soon drop and leave websites when the holier than thou posters start to get their fingers in the pie.
 
But anyway enough of that, back to the matter in hand.
 
There is one thing that isn't related to the article, but still relating to the engine I did a top end refurbishment on.
 
It seems like the the article submitter is trying to sell a model boat with this engine in it. Maybe using this article and my words to assist in the sale. I gave no permission for that to be done, and I am actually very dismayed with his actions, especially seeing he has been pestering me for more than a year to finish off the refurbish, by doing the bottom end of the engine as well, as the engine certainly now needs it.
Unfortunately, as a lot of my fellow modellers know, this last year has been a very trying time for my family and myself , and only recently have I been able to get back into the shop, and I was looking forwards to asking him to return the engine for the needed refurb, and get it back into top class condition.
But after seeing it for sale on ebay, I want nothing more to do with it.
 
So I hope that this explanation puts things to rights.
