There are silver-phos brazing alloys also and they definitely shouldn't be used on boilers.

Try this website there is a lot of tech info on solder there. May have strength comparisons. Usually for models the silver content is near 50%. Easyflow #2 (England 42%) or Easyflow 45 (North America 45%). The trick to a good silver braze job is the right flux and how to use it...

So far nothing will fix it????? :( :o ??? P.S. I have no idea if these imoticons are actually showing because I can't see them.

From the '30 onward the only lathe that most people could afford was the Good old Atlas (also sold under other names like Craftsman by Sears) lathe. Most farms where likely to have one and so did many homes. It was an useful machine in this environment but it had many faults like die cast parts...

Klingerite or klingersil the first is the older type with asbestos (be careful with it, you can cut it but don't break it up or grind on it) and the latter doesn't contain any it is silica based, supposedly safe????? I cant say what would be good for an engine, ask the supplier or go to a small...

You think it's bad for people today, what about years ago. My Grandmother grew up on a farm where you only got to town, less then 10 miles away, 3 or 4 times a years because that was an all day trip on a horse pulled wagon. The first world war had been on for 3 months before they heard about...

Rip out the old stairs and open up more floor space

Even if you can get a program to do it , it might not be what you want. A PDF doesn't have all the info in it that a CAD drawing does so it might not come out the way you want.

Look around the web for CAD file conversion programs (maybe free). There are some that convert cad to PDF's, there may be some that do what you want.

I did run the indicator up and down the jaw face, it was about .00005" out until it was near the bottom and then it jumped to almost a thou. Still pretty good. I redid the fixed jaw test by putting the indicator against the outboard end of the fixed body not the jaw and this time it only flexed...

My old vise was a complete basket case from day one, 15 thou out in one direction 5 thou in the other. Well I finally got tired of it and started looking fot a new one. Kurt's, still laughing at the prices, Glacern, well I was going to go that route but I was at Cabin Fever on the weekend and...

Sorry my mistake. aheg, forget it, your screwed.
