Hi Keith,

Ordinary 8.8 bolts are often made from (unalloyed) steel with 0.35 to 0.45% C, the 10.9 and 12.9 bolts are usually made from steels alloyed with Chromium or Chromium and Molybdenum.

Hi Justin,

Welcome to the forum. My 290 lathe manual says 20W machine oil, Hydraulic H32 should work well. I use way oil on the ways and gear oil in gearbox/apron. I have to use syringe and a piece of plastic tubing when changing oil in the gearbox.

Hi Bob,

A friend of mine has the Sieg SX3 and likes it, he has had no troubles. I have a 10 year old milling machine similar to the Amadeal VM25 (but with a brushed mtor), no troubles and I like the long table.

Thor

Impressive demo Andrew. My milling machine wouldn't cope with that job either, but it only has a 1HP motor with electronic speed control and probably weighs 1/10 of your horizontal.

Hi Peter,

I tend to make studs and use nuts, and it isn't easy to find M 2.5 hex head bolts where I live.

Hi Manfred,

I have purchased spares for my Compact 8 from Austria, yes they are not cheap. You may find what you want on eBay etc. if you are lucky.

Hi Wesley,

Welcome to the forum. Are the porcelain tiles flat? Or do you intend to use the 3 plate method? I know some use plate glass as a cheap surface plate, usually they are made from Cast Iron or granite.

Thor

When I harden oil-hardening steels I use a thin oil (low viscosity), I have also used rapeseed oil.

Thor

May be this will help?

Hi Russel,

Hi Russel,

Hi Tom

How to post photos here.

Thor

I run my steam engine models on compressed air, a few I have tried on low pressure steam. A model driven by compressed air or by a battery isn't a sacrilege in my book, so just do what you want.

Thor

You need to use a kind of flux - salts that often contain chlorine or fluorine. Here is a Youtube video.
