    High Quality Home CNCs

    Using phase converter from single phase to three phase, increases the Amp draw considerably. With single phase you will be limited with the power available to do the work. Since you have 20+ years of industrial manufacturing experience, I doubt you will enjoy the slow working of a single phase...

    Piston, cylinder and ring materials for a diesel engine

    The question is tough to answer if you need to make a reliable engine. 60mm diameter piston means a pretty big engine. I think you should get hold of a good IC engine book that has all the calculations explained. You need to solve this problem from a mathematical point of view before you do...

    Anyone know anything about Millport lathes?

    Thanks for the welcome. I am not at all happy with the products that are manufactured by the local shops. The MNC companies are able to give better quality, but that comes at a price. KTA spindle tooling is a good company here. Its local prices are on the higher side. I feel bad to say, but...

    Anyone know anything about Millport lathes?

    Not some some bad buys!:eek: You got good products from them, that is nice, but I am not unlucky to get bad products. And no one wins here. It is sadly reality and that is what I am saying.

    Anyone know anything about Millport lathes?

    'People seem to like harping on Chinese stuff ' So they just talk out of thin air without any reason? So the stuff that you have is good and that is why Chinese or Taiwanese are giving excellent quality. Would that be the end answer to this...Not at all. No one is harping about for no reason...

    Anyone know anything about Millport lathes?

    I wrote slide ways because it represents box ways and dove tail type or any other sliding method used for a machine axis. Box ways will outlast linear bearing is doubtful.Their accuracy decreases exponentially. So by the mid life of a box way you will be having pretty good error and you will...

    Anyone know anything about Millport lathes?

    Seems like you have never encountered a Chinese or Taiwanese manufactured product which failed. You are probably protected by the stringent import norms of your country. From my point of view, what ever you are saying is BS because if I had not faced several issues with their products I...

    Spark Plug threads in Aluminium heads

    Apart from the suggestions others have given, I would like to point out that you also need to use a thin copper washer between the spark plug seat and the aluminum head. Copper is pretty ductile and it creates a good air tight seal under squeezing pressure created by torqued spark plug and...

    Anyone know anything about Millport lathes?

    If the machine is made in the 1980, then for sure it has slide ways for all of its axis. Slide ways wear out over a period of repetitive use even with lubrication because lubrication only slows down the rate of material removal. If slide ways loose their accuracy then obviously the machine...

    Hello from India

    Hi, I am a mechanical engineer from India. I have definitely missed this wonderful website for such a long time.:rolleyes: I have been into the manufacturing sector for almost a decade now and I feel comfortable playing with micron level accuracy. I run a small scale industry into the...
