I have to admit to having an old cd player / radio in the garage / mancave but it is set on FM for my local radio station. this is usually set on the local presenters programmes at a regular time every day & volume is set loud enough to provide background music. I can also claim to have selective hearing ( ssh; don't tell SWMBO ) so when I have my eyes & hands on the lathe / milling machine my brain goes into radio silence so I can only predominantly see & hear what the machines are doing. So apart from catching the main news items every hr on the hr it suits me fine.. .

A pic would be handy; there is a wiring diagram in the manual if you have it, if not I can scan & send you a copy.

I have downloaded DesignSpark Mechanical to see if I can get my head round CAD, it reminded me much of Viseo 2000 which I got on very well with but is now defunct. has any one else used this app; & did anything else, if any, replace, Viseo 200. ?

Nicely coming along Bob. Wouldn't worry about mistakes either; if any one tells you they have never made mistakes then they're either a magician or are good with terminological inexactitudes.

Hi Celso, A neat answer to a simple project, well done.

George.

1. Looking at your pic I am assuming that there are two remnants of teeth on the pulley wheel boss 180* apart ?

2. Is the ID of the replacement gear larger than the OD of the remaining teeth;

In which case you could place the new gear over the boss & epoxy resin / JB weld infill the space remaining. If not alternatively remove the remaining teeth fit the new gear cog & if there is sufficient gap between the two Loctite with Loctite 638 retainer.I would also mechanically lock the two together.. e.g.drill & tap through the root of one tooth for 3-4mm grub screw. Gorilla glue is surprising strong as well.. usual disclaimer applies.

Thanks for the info' Bill... interesting does any one else have a thought on it?

In the same context why do our American cousins say 'SODdering' iron & we say SOLDering iron, always puzzled me that one... .. ?

I have an inventory on Excel that I made up some years ago itemizing all of my tooling & where it is located e.g. blue wall cabinet - #1 cupboard, milling cutters in their respective plastic containers in plastic separation box's ( fisherman tackle box )- red tool chest, etc etc.It stood me in good stead 5 years ago when some low life managed to break into my garage/man cave & helped themselves to some items including my first engine build.

Fortunately we managed to disturb them & they managed to make a rapid exit as the police arrived within 1/2 hr ?. the itemised listing certainly helped insurance co. resolve my claim swiftly, anything new gets added to the inventory as & when.

Superb Jason. Paint job is top notch, do you use rattle can or mini spray gun ? having slow progress with my beam engine, some parts don't seem to be correct size/fit even though made to drawing dimensions & checkout with mic'... ... will step back for a day or two & get the grey matter into thinking mode... .

I had a similar problem with my S10V having a chilled area on the OD of the standard. I managed to get around it by using a carbide tipped tool & a carbide insert face cutter.

Chilled area around the OD...

Howard beat me to it, how about a small section 'O' ring that fits in the chrome ring to seal the glass junction of the brass body at the end of the thread, if you get my drift.

I have a Digi height gauge from M-DRO & a 18" x 17" x1.5/16" polished granite sink cut out from a kitchen manufacturer... free gratis after I told them what it was for.. suits me fine for the accuracy I need.. as for flatness.. measured with digi gauge from corner to corner ( 4 corners ) & measured to '0' with a 0.0005" fall off at one corner, just fine for me.
