Brian,

I can access all issues including 4430 and 4431 from my PC.

Dave (In the UK)

I think is a case of not wanting to pay the £1.98 postage charge if you order on-line.

I also have the Arc X1L and never had a problem with tramming ... I don't use the tilt so it is locked tight like Michael's. (I did buy a spare get of gears, but they are still in the box unused ... I do only take small cuts)

I also got Arc to prepare it for me, it worked straight out of the box and was correctly set up.

Super little machine and mine is not too noisy.

I can't view the image, its set as private. "Oops! You don't have permission to view this photo."

Both my Digital Subs have the correct expiry dates ....

but it is also showing a date (The ME digital one) against ME and MEW paper subs (Which I don't have)

There is a copy on the 16mm NGM site http://www.16mm.org.uk/newsite/files/default.html

Scroll to the bottom of the page (The Examination and Testing of Miniature Steam Boliers - November 2008 )

Why not buy a plastic washing-up bowl (or a bucket), place this in your sink and wash your hands in that. When you have finished, carry the bowl/bucket full of dirty water outside and tip it down the drain.

Dave

Mike,

Maidstone Engineering, Macc Model Engineers, Blackgates, M-Machine will all ship whatever quantity you need. (The first 2 might be a bit cheaper on postage though and they also sell via Ebay)

I have no connection with any of the companies above, except to say that I have had good service from all of them.

Dave

Companies like Blackgates or M-Machines will sell you whatever size you want.

I also agree with Jason's comments.

Dave

Ivy,

Have you phoned/emailed M-Machines?

They sell Cast Iron and say that <quote> "We can cut square and rectangles to your requirements, a small cutting charge will apply. Please enquire" <endquote>

They can sometimes supply material that is not listed in their catalogue.

They have cut custom sizes of Steel and Brass for me in the past ... and the cutting charge ammounted to pence rather than pounds.

No connection with them, just a very happy customer.

Dave

Tony,

I suspect your posting was removed by David or Diane (The Mods), as we are not allowed to discuss a certain companies exhibitions. (See message on home page)
