Or import just the important part from UK. Over here (Europe) you can buy metric or imperial lead screw to Chinese lathes. If need is only for threading there should be odd size change gear to compensate wrong lead screw, I have metric lathe and I can cut imperial threads.

This is on my list, I was just waiting if someone had done something more clever. I don´t have wipers, but I have piece of mudflap rubber under tool, mounted using 2 holes for moving support.

So ermmmm wow :D Did not know these thing exist in large scale as well, that would be fun project.

I can´t help myself, but clearly this thing needs something extra. Let´s say maybe turntable and other type conveyor and different type cornering and maybe sawmill log type separator and and and.... oopps :p:rolleyes:

Yes, more details and if possible video to show how this thing cuts :)

More advantage and maybe more important this is way less power hungry method to cut thread with larger pitch.

Over here metric world good starting point is 0.1mm undersize from nominal diameter. Sometimes it is not possible, so one fast filing push is needed to flatten thread a little. Metric normal thread is not the best there is but that's not the point. Thumb rule for thread depth is same as pitch...

There is one more scary african welder but can´t find it. https://youtu.be/sFwkEJPuYcA https://youtu.be/ZgvXUbcHBsY :rolleyes:

Some other motors take longer to make and still they have complete set of drawing at the beginning. I think I lost something when translating but still thumbs up :thumbup:

Why not over engineer things and use arduino uno with http://www.ebay.com/itm/1602-LCD-Display-Module-Keypad-Shield-For-Arduino-Duemilanove-Blue-Backlight-/172182501848 With relay shield possibilities are endless :hDe:

Really nice outcome and I really like when someone fixed something old to live another day, makes me happy as well ;)

Me thinks pound is strong currency and will rise back and act like it should, this is just short term drop. So there is 2 years time to buy home shop tools with reasonable price, locally such things wont even exist over here. I live in Finland and most of as are ready to leave EU, our politician...

Congratulations, that sounds just like it should and clearly this thing wants to run, start was so easy :)

Lots of thick slide way oil number 68 and less cleaning to keep as much as possible this oil in place. Monday I'm starting new job and now I can see it might be possible to move near future :hDe: Shed with floor and some sort of heating would be really nice.

Finally change to warmer, me thinks its too cold to machine anything when temperature goes -32C (-25,6F)

Hobby laser, well this is mine. Led laser, power is only 0.5W witch limits possible materials, but allows cheap testing. I'm planning to upgrade more powerful laser, but this works for now. Plan is cut RC plane parts out of Debron and make some markings and stuff :) I did have access to waterjet...

Nope, brains were donated before EU was born, just to make sure nothing makes any sense at all. There is problems when importing machinery etc to EU, but if machinery is build inside EU not so much trouble. Actually machine can be lethal and still sold everywhere and nobody cares. Example...

Waiting results to show, how this spray mist thing turns out, is it any good at all. At work I have installed few spray misters to band saws but those were completely different. Air supply drives piston pump once in 30 seconds or so and air simply catches oil in air hose, but it is industrial...

Scary tool :eek: http://youtu.be/G2GynwWtwMM http://youtu.be/lh0Kl1--WaQ

Possibly Indian made jewelry mill, if Russian there is usually Cyrillic letters somewhere and import stickers like Machinery OY or something similar from other Finnish import company :) Scroll down for other candidates, but looks really similar...
