    Metric Trojan Mk II

    To save space on the sheet and, as the results/digit are always the same, I removed the last digit (1/1000 of mm) and added a single column for it. To be fair I could have done this to the 1/100 too but did not recognize at that time.... I did no search for any plans or casting in Metric...

    squaring mill vice on combo lathe mill machine

    Why don't you just align the bar with the surface of the chuck? No need for an additional screwed-in bar.

    Mitutoyo or Starrett?

    MHO: Shouldn't your considerations start with the accuracy you want to achieve? For typical modeling chinese quality seems pretty ok. I owe a lot of different brands and all of them provide enough precision for my tasks. And if you measure fitting parts with the same device/accuracy absolute...

    Solidworks for Mac?

    why not try https://www.onshape.com/ ? It is free, almost SolidWorks and runs in a browser independant of the OS. Thomas

    Technical Question about Steam Engine Plans

    Hi Andrew, typically there is a default-value for all those numbers, and only those parts or surfaces which have to exceed this default value are mentioned or marked explicitly. So I would go with this: shiny surfaces have to be polished to your or your wife's personal wishes; cylinder...

    VFD Wiring

    Haven't you got a manual with it ? I found one here: https://www.exoror.com/datasheet/VFD.pdf and on page 16 (chapter 3. Basic Connection Diagramm) you can fine the information you were looking for: it seems that the functions you would like to have are already set as factory default - the...

    VFD Wiring

    Your questions rely on the type of VFD you are going to use - so it would be a support to any answer if you share this meaningful information with us. E.g. I am using an Omron MX2 VFD. And I have to set certain parameters to achieve the behavior you described (and which fits to my application...

    jib crane hoist swing boom planning and constructive advice

    I do not think so - what type of chain would he buy? Without doing a minimum of calculation he would get the perfect wrong one. Defining the maximum load is not sufficient! I only hope, that he and nobody else will get injured..... Thomas

    jib crane hoist swing boom planning and constructive advice

    Your beam alone would weight about 50kg - this has to be added to any load you want to lift! The blue crane has a counterweight and the white one a base which support the torques and forces applied due to the load - these are perfect different to what you want to build. There is a very...

    jib crane hoist swing boom planning and constructive advice

    ad babolottino: as John said: If you do not understand how the forces and torques are applied to the different mounting points and to the joints of your construction get a professional. This is not something you just copy&paste from somewhere else. E.g. the maximum load applied...

    Source for tiny metric threading dies?

    Today finally I had a talk with a guy from the local store in Vienna. The whole set (https://www.j-felber.at/Handwerkzeug...-2-5-2373.html) would cost about €425,-. Individual taps ~€15,- and a dies ~€20,-. Sending them to Finland seems no problem - if you cant register just send them an...
