Thread: Self clinching nuts and studs
12/01/2016 19:36:41

Thank you for the information. It is the Pem studs and inserts I was looking for. Would engineering shops stock this sort of fastener or would I have to go direct to Pem, for a few to sample

Can anyone give me any advice on using self clinching nuts and studs in aluminium and steel material. Can they be manually fitted or do you need some sort of special press. Any advice or where to look would be very appreciated

Thread: Please tell me what this 'cog' is called!

Thanks for all the constructive advice. I've got to admit that it never crossed my mind that the offending part might have been 'homemade'. I just presumed it was a off-the-shelf part, so well spotted!

I might well try the allen bolt approach and see where to go from there.

Thanks for all the interest. I've found a youtube clip of the part in question and its intended use (but on a slightly smaller scale). The actual sprocket thing is shown in close-up at 2min 08secs

I know this has moved on a little from asking what cog / sprocket thing is called but any alternative thoughts on how to achieve the same action on a tight budget would be welcome.

I've been busy with blu-tac and an empty ptfe tape spool to fashion a 3D example of what I'm failing to explain ! - Promise not to laugh as I won't make the 'Wallis and Gromit' claymation team !!

Thanks alot for all the suggestions, but we haven't find it yet. The studs are not protruding off the face but they are where the teeth would normally be

Thanks Ian P. but I'm thinking of something about 60mm diameter.

Like a studded dog collar to look at with one row of studs.

Any suggestions welcome.......please.......its doing my head in!

Sorry for this very vague description. I am trying to find out what this type of cog / sprocket / gear which has studs going around the circumference (not teeth but definitely studs) is called.

Does anyone know the correct name for this type of thing so I can find a supplier.

What diameter bar do I need, to use a 6mm die.
Thread: Oil change in a Chester MF42B
29/01/2011 14:26:27
Thanks for the replies. I've downloaded the Grizzly manual and they are showing a drain plug behind one of gears, which has been mentioned, but mine doesn't have this plug.
 
I've also tried to become a member of the Chester forum, yesterday morning, but I'm still waiting for activation.
 
I've not tried to sython the oil out, so I'll try that next.
 
Thanks again

Hi, first of all I'd like to point out that I know nothing about engineering, lathes or milling machines but have bought a 'chester mf42b' to have a play and try and learn. I'm more of a woodworker, so will be asking alot of questions on this forum, probably silly ones, if thats ok!
 
I want to change the oil in the headstock,before I use the machine but can't find the ' drain plug'. I can find where you put the oil in and I can see the oil level window but not where to drain the old oil.
 
Also what oil should I use.
 
Any information would be appreciated
