the only reason i subscribed was to get access to the digital versions

if that access ends then my subscription will also end soon after and i will take to reading the magazine stood in Smiths with the rest of them......

panic over

seems it was a small browser issue. now all working fine again.

digital issues have been relabeled as 'online archive'
not really difficult to work out.......

and now, having just gone and checked the digital issues/online archive pages again, i find that i am now unable to access any of the digital issues at all !!

i get the page of the thumbnails as usual but clicking on any of them results in absolutely nothing at all happening.

is this some sort of punishment for daring to ask what is happening ? or is it some "glitch" introduced with this new '"relaunch"

So here it is late Monday

where is this big relaunch that weve been promised ?

i see nothing special or different with the 'digital' issues.....

+1 for Tuffsaws.co.uk

used them a couple of times and service has always been outstanding

if you order something from the new myford website they will send whatever it is you order in a little plastic bag with a nice sticker very similar in size and design to the original Myford sticker. peel it off carefully and use that.

again, thats what i did, being the cheapskate that wasnt gonna pay a tenner for a sticker that i would never loook at again. and it doesnt bother me in the slightest that its not 'original'. its still a colourful sticker that looks at a quick glanze to be the right one.

ps.
and this is where i got the paint from. http://tinyurl.com/m567hrc

painted mine using 'myford grey' from a firm on ebay

probably and most likely the wrong colour. but i dont really care. it had previously been repainted by the previous owner using hammerite black with a touch of white mixed in

it now looks 100% better than it did before and right or wrong colour, i like it. and thats what matters most....

and like you, ive seen them all colours, and i mean ML7s only, not all models which i know are different colours anyway.

i have one of these kennedy saws which i use for cutting small bits and pieces which the bigger bandsaw is too large for

i have a flat belt, rightly or wrongly, running directly on the motor spindle and a 6 inch plywood drive wheel [cos i didnt have any ali there big enough to make a flywheel]
works nicely, runs nice and slowly, and seems to be the right speed for the machine. I have the original hoover motor on mine.

nothing complicated
works as expected
every expense spared

and then click the images button at the top

if you actually read the text included with the drawings/plans then it is all explained quite clearly

but you DO have to read the text

i made this rest as one of my very first projects with absolutely no experience and having only owned a small lathe and mill for a matter of weeks. everything went acording to plan and 'it all works' just fine because i read the text along with the plans, and didnt just jump into making the rest without doing the reading first. That is how the book is written to be used.

read the text with the plans and it will all work out just fine

wish i was just a little closer
would love to take you up on this

Swansea to Raglan is quite a hike though

good luck though

or you could just email them and ask......

i dont want to be paying for anything i that i can already get from the internet with a little time spent searching. if all these charts are going to be taking content away from the magazine that i pay for then im not interested in any way.

im quite happy to accept them as a free pullout in ADDITION to the regular content, which is what i thought we were all talking about in the first place, but NOT as a replacement for regular content.

watching it now..............

mildly interesting

history is good though

got to agree with this

find some scaffolders iin the area and give them a couple of quid for a length appropriate to your needs

then bush it up to your hearts content
jobs a good'un

most scaffold tubes are 47mm and galvonised

and to asnswer the opening question :--

there are _many_ websites and webpages dedicated to giving you the needed tapping sizes if you use Google to search for them

asking a Mac user to install anything MS on their machine is like asking a vegatarian to chomp down on a chicken sandwich .....

probably the main reasoon for swapping from a PC to a Mac is to get away from MS

on a lot of forums, asking for a code to bypass paying for a leading piece of software would lead to an instant banning of the member that asked. No matter what the 'excuse' or reasoning. It seems to be OK here though.

always handy to remember..........

been using one for the last 6 months or so
got mine from Morrisons, think a tenner was paid for it

i seen the ones in Aldi yesterday, they are the dead same thing

certainly good enough for the crap i turn out

I think it may help most of the UK readers too who have no idea what this 'Smiths method' actually is.

The whole 'digital subscription' regime needs overhauling as far as im concerned. The viewing quality is absolutely pathetic and harkens back to something akin to the 90's. The print quality and overall user friendliness of it all leaves much to be desired. And the digital price. Well that needs at least cutting in half.
