11 forum posts	I have a set of castings from Reeves I want to machine. Can anybody who has machined a set of these castings tell me the Model Engineer editions that covered the making of the depthing tool? I have a copy of Model Engineer 19 October 1973 but my article is incomplete on page 1016. I also have the Post Bag article of 17 January 1986 which mentions the dangers of boring the holes for the runners on the early castings (my castings are from 1980), can anybody comment on how they machined these holes?

The last paragraph of the article states that the author would be happy to oblige with castings via the Editor if required, but can find no editorial reference. Regards - Chris

69 forum posts	Wow is it that long ago that I wrote A Clock Depthing Tool 91/92! It won't help David Carne as it is of fabricated construction. (I couldn't figure out how to drill/ream the parallel holes needed on a solid construction. ) It was made using a Unimat 3 and milling head and isl argely of aluminum alloy. The use of alloy keeps the weight down considerably. regards John
