None of the hobby lathe people do them because they are not really accurate

I tried with arduino and LIDAR modules but the same problem arose

If you want good repeatable accuracy DRO is the only way

It was the world at war or something like that, a chap standing next to someone he knew when the bomb went off and his pal was dead in a week while he was being interviewed around 1970 (or was it a she)

So for holding down roofs, explains those huge shanks and the curved loading point directly beneath the shank

I would call them something like runner loops for putting a line/cable.pipe in easily and removing it when finished

Hello everyone,
I got a disassembled Chipmaster 5X20. Thank goodness it wasn't broken 
down into all its individual parts. 
It will still be a puzzle.
She has the Imperial Norton gearbox. 
The handwheels and spindles on the support are metric.
I could get a Bantam with metric Norton gearing.
For this I would have to travel 450 km and it would be good to know if this 
trip could make sense.
Can I swap the two gearboxes for each other?

Emanuel

Peugeot

I avoided them because they had some sort of cylinder liner arrangement in the 80s... looked a bit complicated for a bodger. I always bought a Haynes manual and studied it before I bought my next jalopy

Anyhoo

Hope you get things sorted for not too much cost

The main problem at sea is staffing levels, decent experienced people cost money

Plus there are an awful lot of get-out-of-jail-free legal holes in the maritime laws

Staff are often expendable, since the insurance will cover any management decisions which end in disaster

Piracy off Somalia etc was a good example, none of those ships would have gone anywhere near that coast if the insurance companies had not provided cover

There was a standing joke at sea in the 80s.

Israeli ships never get hijacked because they can shoot back

edit: I left in the mid 1980s because things were getting so bad, everything from bad food to skeleton staffing levels to a 100% increase in the length of trips served drove huge numbers of people out

It's all so complicated nowadays

I could get my MK 2 Escort cylinder head off in 12 minutes and replace it in 27 minutes

A replacement cylinder head was 10 quid from the scrappie located 50 yards round the corner

My NHS brother at the pub last week informed me that I'm now allocated a coffin-dodger bed in hospital if I get ill because I'm over 60

I believe the description is "Elderly"

If you don't want to be exposed to covid then avoiding major public use areas/places is the only way to go

Otherwise you will always be "in the zone"

Once you're recovered that's you got decent immunity/resistance for up to 2 years for travelling purposes

I was always getting flu stuff from the Great British Public but once I had got it then the following 1-2 years was a doddle until the next variant arrived

We didn't even have enough food in the fridge to worry about it getting spoiled

Nowadays our fridge freezers are jam packed with assorted yummys

A vaccination will only mitigate the disease, it can't stop it

The west has done well to manage the issue as best it can, first by trying not to let the medical system be overwhelmed, and then by letting it spread freely throughout the general population

We were lucky that the Delta variant became far less potent

Mother nature is always testing her little critters and thinning the herd

A box of candles and some matches saw us through Ted Heaths blackouts

Everyone gathered at the nearest neighbour who had a gas cooker for teatimes

First world problems eh?

I remember my dad covering his tropical fish tank with hot water bottles and a duvet to try and keep them going, but to no avail

A cough is the biggest signal that you've contracted the covid at the moment, it's been pretty rampant up here and almost everyone I know has been caught out by it over the last 3 months

So I would be more grateful than disappointed that you stayed at home

It's a relatively mild flu, a week in bed and a couple of weeks to get back to your old self

The Chinese are mad if they think they can stop this thing, they must be praying for some kind of magic bullet to suddenly be developed by big pharma and immunise the population

Even a secured bit of wood with a hole in it and some oil squirted in will do the job, it only has to stop the whipping from starting up, metal pipe is probbly best

Took me 5 minutes to find this

Tried a few out over the years, bing, duckduck, always ended up back with google

New kid on the block, added it to my firefox seamlessly and things do seem to go more smoothly and with more decent relevant returns

looks kinda weird not getting spammed by stuff, but nice

discuss...

Well done you, a worthwhile job

the last time I worked with glass fibre it was pretty stinky horrible stuff that never did what you wanted it to do
