Lathe accessories and essential engineering tools in general == items designed specifically to extract the money out of your wallet!

Geoff, you can be first after me !!

Of no personal interest to me , but I would like to say how nice to see kind generosity in this commercial world in which we are living ! If anyone has any spare banknotes they do not want,,,,,,,,? Engineers such nice people!

Sounds like tungsten to me!

Hi Paul, Adding P.V.A. to the mix will not damp proof the concrete, but it will simply "plasticise "it making it nice ar and easier to lay and give a smoother finish, the more you "polish the wet mix the smoother it will be when set, then You should use a good quality floor paint, To add a damp course is simple, after you have compressed the hardcore, blind it with shingle than sand level till smooth then roll out your Visqueen , do not walk on it though then pour and level your concrete which should be about 6 inches thick, and have mesh in it otherwise it will crack.

I have a very sensitive level (it measures in Radons) if I set it on my lathe bed, the bubble will actually move as I approach or back away from the machine. Thus proving that Floors are "live" unless properly constructed! I had to facilitate the fitting up of a very special super speed ticker tape operated circuit board drilling machine in the eighties and the base for that was 3 metres deep,,,, Just for stability!!

The fact is that Evans and the B.B.C are businesses, and so are these so called Charities"look at the billions held in offshore banks, property and so called art treasures,only a tiny proportion of the interest goes to the "cause" that is how they can operate as charities. Sorry to bleat on, on here but the more I find out about so called "charities" the more I dislike what I learn!
