Thanks John

Not sure Ian, I just hate mysteries I guess.

I probably need to move on and give up trying to find the one in Surrey.

Chris

Still not managed to find the mysterious company Grrr

Chris, why not start by looking at the classified ads on this site; i.e Model Engineer/ Model engineers

Workshop, under ' magazines for sale'.

Hi Chris,

more food for thought, Harolds book is here for a good price (new). I have built the HH model and it is quite good but I intend to build the Brooks - Stent, which was serialised in MEW numbers 16 and 17 or thereabouts, as a project. There is a build here.

Chris,

Harold has a web page **LINK** . If you then look at his books list you will find his book Tool and Cutter Sharpening which is No 38 in the WPS grouping and has all the neccessary information. Hope you will find this info of use.

Trevor.

Chris,

Have you had a look at Harold Halls design for use with a D.E. grinder? If not, its relatively quick and easy to make as well able to do all you are asking.

You can look at things a different way, find a modeler who is worse than you are

I'm currently looking for a blind guy who uses a knife and fork for his modelling work

As we seem to be drifting a little may I ask how one buys backissues of the Workshop magazine ?

There I was, thinking you had found a neat way of using mellow yellow to show yourself as the originator of the thread. Now it turns out that you've got jaundice. Your message of 16:20 is part yellow, part normal grey.

The lost first sentence seems odd. Until someone comes up with a better idea, use a dummy sentence like "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog", and paste it in a few times so they are deleted one by one as you amend your post. Then click into the body of the post a few times to get rid of any remaining quick brown foxes.

Funnilly enough I bought some glanze tool tips and had notthing but trouble getting a good cut.

My pal gave me a few HSS cutters and they were a vast improvement.

Where are you based Mark ?

Can anyone else see the yellow background to my posts?

Since it has appeared if I click into the body of a post to say add a word I am likely to loose the first sentance Grr.

I love the Stevenson's ER 32 Sharpening Fixture, trouble is I don't have a surface grinder...yet.

Maybe one day.

Maybe I'll just keep my wallet closed and do what my buddy Charlie suggests. He thinks at our age and with his stock levels we should blunt them and chuck them. That said he probably has more cutters than most small stores.

Thanks for you comments guys.

As per the title.

What would you pick ?

Basically what should I pick is what I'm after.

I'm thinking of sharpening some milling cutters & twistdrills (HSS)

Thanks

Thanks

Does ayone recall the name of the 3D plastic printers next to JB Cutters by any chance.

I can not see them in the programm.

 

Also David, the number in the programm for JB is incorrect. Apparently this is 2 years running it's happened, that's what the gentleman who owns the number said

Its not based on just the bar(0.5) or the capacity (2 litres) but a combination of the two. if when one is multiplied buy the other the result is less than 3 then they are exempt.

For example a 2 lts boiler running at 2bar would come within the rules as 2x2 = 4.

The same 2lts boiler if only run at 0.5bar would be exempt as 2x0.5 = 2

Some clubs may still want tests for boilers below the rule though.

You can always look at things a different way, it won't be too hard to find a modeler who is worse than you are, don't despise him, help him, in helping you learn too, also it helps you feel good. Ian S C
