Thread: Vice/rotary table question
21/10/2010 09:49:14

         I agree,  I've had a 6" Vertex rotary table for 24 years and it's as good now as it was then,
As for machine vices I've had a Soba 4" for a couple of years now and am very pleased with it,  good quality, no problems at all.
I've also had for years a 6" Chinese machine vice, decent quality , no problens at all,
 
I think the answer is ,  deal direct with a decent company, and  see what you are buying before you buy it.
 
Like the man says, " Buy cheap buy twice"
 
I also say  " Buy cheap buy rubbish"  you'll regret it,
 
I know this is a hobby,   but there is great pleasure to be gained from using good quality tools and machines,
 
Buy the best you can afford.

Thread: GARDNER GAS ENGINE

Is anyone building or has already built the Alyn foundry Gardner hot tube gas engine ?
I've recently started mine and would like to chat with anyone who is doing the same.
Are there any problems I should be aware of ?

Thread: BURRELL 6" SCALE ROAD LOCO
07/09/2010 17:46:07
THANKS FOR THAT JASON,  I'VE LOGGED INTO TRACTION TALK AND POSTED A MESSAGE,  WE'LL SEE IF I GET ANY REPLIES .
I HAVE BEEN A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER AND BLACKSMITH FOR 35 YEARS. ALSO A BOILER MAKER FOR 11 YEARS  1975-86,  WORKING ON FULL SIZE ENGINES AND MODELS, I HAVE A WELL EQUIPPED MACHINE SHOP AND FORGE. SO I HOPE I WON'T HAVE TOO MUCH TROUBLE IF I DECIDE TO MAKE THE 6" BURRELL,
BUT IT'S GOOD TO DISCUSS IT WITH SOME ONE WHO HAS BEEN THERE BEFORE.
