Hi I recommend u look at Ebay (e.g Tradera.se) And find an old model made in the days we could buy quality, and refurb it! Or rebuild a plastic version by just copying it! Glad sommar!

What about Schaublin (Schäublin) how would you pronounce that. Its made in a french speaking part of CH, still looks german in origin?

Very cute girls there Brian! Bet my nieces would love that machine too!

thanks

lost patience with watching this mans finger press buttons. But the largest shapers were (are?) the ones built as side shapers where the arm slides on rails on the wall of the building, and the beds(s) are mounted on the floor. The stoke can be many 10k of millimeters.

If one has the room for this size lathe its a superb choice! And one can luck into many bargains since few can house them. This kind of behemoth can be used for proper milling in model engineer sizes too!

In this Swiss clip you see a tangential tool holder, that I never seen before? Is it commercial? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w8EB2rBU0I&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

Safety is FIRSTS in a workshop, but I know grinding wheels are damn strong. Once witnessed a rather brainless man work a manual surface grinder, this man was obviously full of steroids (had all the physical signs) and very proud of the arms he build in the gym. Had to show us girly men how fast...

I disagree, lathe first is not the obvious choice! It depends on what u want to do; a gunsmith uses the mill far more than the lathe for example, and small things can be turned on a mill. A small lathe is a pig to do any milling in also. Only experience can make a good choice, a Catch 22...

Problem with Model Engineer is reciving the publication. Subscriprion office seems to be rather keen on coffe breaks...

Good thing about them is that they are indexable. If one made a tool to set it at the same height every time, one could take it out ot the holder and sharpen it, then get it back exactly right each time! Ive got to get one! Anyone tried them on Sherline or other compacts? Seems one can reach...

Im trained as a gunsmith, theres lots of need for timing treads in gunwork; like when u thread on on a barrel for example. All you need too know if the pitch of the thread to do the math, as the article explains! One thing that ruins your day is when u overtighten a screw thats part of an...

Read in a reputable car magazine in waiting room not long ago about a company here in Sweden that worked on a camless engine, it also had adjustable compression ratio, very high tech, and seemed far developed...but I don thave the article anymore for obvious reasons...It was a SAAB owned company...

First class job! And you get many bonus points for using Sherline machinery! ;)

thanks all, seems though we dont get the exact same page?! Never mind, ive got enough to read on this subject! ;D But thanks! :)

Cute! But im still waiting for the first high end, quality, hobby size lathe from Asia! (not that im not happy they make lathes affordable for more ppl they way they sell them now) Check out the picture gallery on the home page, som rather corny sales pics there, not to mention the slogan they...

Very impressive technology, but fixing that steam chest is not hard at all w o this machine! Why would a car sit in a lot for 50 yrs cos there are no parts!? sounds made up!

Been there, and its nice! Good work!

Where´s the PDF? I cant find any via that link? :-\

In my world disused bicycle spokes and hose claps are the most practical items of all to have around! They can fix most problems! ;D
