Hi Rob I have a SC4 lathe and an SX2 mill with a larger table and fixed column. Had these for a couple of years plus now. Really pleased with both of these and have made several mods to the mill, gas spring, DROs and a power feed. If I had to work with the same budget and space constraints I...

Hi Nick I built one of Jan's engines with a petrol vapour fuel tank. There are some pics in my album. Bob

Thank you Tin

Hi Keith I've been reading up pre-bending some small copper pipe. Suggestions are filling the tube with salt and plugging it. Perhaps better thanks sand as its finer, as long as its flushed well. Also have a look at "woods metal", I haven't used this but perhaps others could comment? Bob..

As per Jasonb I use something similar I know as "file cloth". I've a piece @ 10cm long attached to a piece of wood. I've had it for @ 20 years and no idea where it came from. I found the following own the web..... Bob.. http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USA/ref/TM/pdfs/TM9-867.pdf

Getting there with this now. Hoping to have a runner in a few days

I've started work on my base plate now. It's good to see it starting to look like something

I like the Z axis feed mod. I've considered putting a larger feed hand wheel behind the smaller knurled dial to see if I can improve the constant feed. Have you fitted a gas spring? I can recommend that mod. Bob..

Thanks Herbie. I hope to have it together and running in a few weeks. Bob..

I've had an X2 for about 6 months now. I bought one with an extended table and fitted a gas spring mod which was well worth doing. I've added a set of DROs and work light. I'm waiting for a UK supplier to offer an x feed drive. I ordered the gas spring kit from the US and the import tax was a...

Spent sometime this weekend finishing the fuel tank. Lots of polishing!
