Colin-

dia of wheel is 22.31mm length is 19.21mm

the boss is 38.5mm wide & 38.13 high

the arm casting is 111.2mm long it is fixed to the vertical via a grub screw to enable adjustment.

a 12.7 mm bar fits into this casting which is a total of 141.18mm long of which the last inch is turned down to 6.63mm for the guide wheel, which in turn is held in place by way of a washer & split pin

The amount of offset is approx 13mm

went to castle Howard today and saw this unusual steam waggon. i've never seen one before seemingly the owner says theres only about a dozen left.

Hiya Colin

This is my filer although its branded a new wonder it looks the same, interestingly the top support in pic 1 & 3 is different but I have another support in pic 3 which fits as well.

I assume it's this what you require the measurements of? if so let me know and I will take some more pics of the part and some measurements

yes I agree with a lot of what the forum members are saying BUT,

I had nothing when I was a kid.

I know what is right and what is wrong.

I chose which path I traveled down.

Hello all

Has anybody got a copy of stuart's Sun drawings that they could copy or sell me?

I've spoke to stuart's at Doncaster show and they do not have copy's of the plans, which I thought a little odd. but hey ho

also did a search on the internet and can only get some grainy images.

So I'm appealing to you, If anybody can help that would be great.

It was a politicians son or daughter that died due to shoddy electrical work carried out by a builder that brought about PART P. Which in my opinion is a good thing, but would be better if it was ENFORCED, and not just a money making scam for the powers that be, and jobs for the boys.

i put 2 10mm steel plates under mine and bolted the lathe through the drip tray,plates & bench

Paul

any one know what this is for? obviously its for drilling holes but in what? the actual cutting part is tapered which leads me to believe it may be for cutting plugs of some sort, in the centre is a solid plug with a square pointed pin presumably to start off the hole , then when started the plug with pin can be removed.

i've a sneaky feeling this may be a medical item due to the material its made from as you can see apart from the cutters it's in very good shape despite it being stored in a damp hut for probably decades.

Thank you Clive I will go and measure my bolt spacing

Hello all

I've just got round to installing my new super major milling machine (I had it delivered last dec). A few small problems with it but I have got them all sorted apart from the nod. I've got +0.09mm on the inboard side and -0.08mm on the outside over a 100mm radius. The X axis is now bob on. Question is how do you calculate the size of the shims I need to put under the column? I know I will still have to measure it after but it would be better if I had a ball park figure to start with.

Thanks all in advance

Regards

Paul

give it to Jason, he will have it finished in a week

Whats a wiper flat?

this is how I've stored my files. I just used 1 1/4" waste pipe cut to 3 different lengths, stick together with expanding foam and cobble together a box to go round it.
