Pretty certain it was this forum but could be mistaken. A while ago 3 + years ? someone posted a few pictures of a Subaru engine they were building. What they were doing was building a static model out of 1mm card and slicing the model up into layers which were then cut on a laser cutter. I...

I dare say like many I used to use the Yahoo groups a lot for some of the varied interests I have. Since they went over to the new Neo format some while ago things have gone from bad to worse. Even worse if you 'own' a group or two as I do. It make you have to jump thru hoops to approve...

Hi guys and girls, signed back in to see what's happening and probably take part again but the site has changed a bit . I now get a large banner on the left of the page with nothing on it except a picture and Project of the Month from Brian Rupnow. All the post are crammed on the right and I...

Some while ago we contacted Malcolm Stride with a view to converting the Lynx engine into files that could be done on a CNC. Malcolm was very agreeable with this and we bought a set of plans and started work, some while later we bought 5 more sets to go with the files which were part finished...

Getting pissed off with Alibre ignoring messages and it's time to look for other software. Any idea's ? Must be 3D modelling, don't suggest Solid Works or Solid Edge, too expensive for what I need. Not interested in Sketchup either, doesn't suit the way I work. So far looked at ViaCAD V8 but...

Bit of background first. Making a raft of HTD 5M series pulleys, mill a stick out on the 4th axis CNC in two sizes 40 teeth and 20 teeth for 2:1 reductions for the CNC conversions. These are dead easy to do, get the OD from tables or off the HPC web site and for the 5M series you need a 1/8"...

Plus 20-40-80's Come on lads get your hard earned coin out and get splashing. http://www.arceurotrade.co.uk/Catalogue/Workholding/Vee-Blocks-Angle-Plates Top of the page. Bit of history first, the original 1-2-3 blacks were made by Starrett and the idea was they bolted together to form...

Been working with Art Fenerty of Mach3 fame on his new gear-cutting program. Basically brought about because he wanted to do clock gears and then it got all out of hand with eccentric gears and all that artistic crap. Link to the site at www.gearotic.com there is a demo copy but the tutorials...

Just a heads up that the show is on the Friday16 thru until Tuesday 20th at TEE publishing HQ at The Fosse show ground Warwick. John S.

Ssorrty to post here but i know some of you are on both lists. Started Saturday night with no access and today it's really slow, that slow it often times out whist waiting for a page to load. Others sites are OK, Inet / ISP seems OK, anybody else having this problem ? Traffic is very light so...

I posted in another thread that I used my destop router a lot nowdays to do simple plate work, I think it was Rake who asked for more details. Well here goes, I bought the router off the homeworkshop. org site, it was one of about 15 that a guy was selling. These had all been robbed in some way...

Spotted this on another forum and although it related to the 12" to the foot brigade the principle is the same. http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/showthread.php?t=170860 Thought it would be interesting. John S.

The thread on the power feed for the X3 prompted me to show this mod which is also in development. The swivel plate bolts between the head and the the dovetail slide and allows a full 360 degrees rotation if it wasn't for the cables ;D Uses all the existing hardware and only requires 3 holes...

Do you ever doubt yourself when looking at a job? WELL DON'T The MK I eyeball is more accurate than you think. Over the years I have bought no end of fancy gadgets to help me speed up what I do in the workshop. Some have been a help but often I still fall back on old tried and trusted methods...

Quick introduction to the project. Read this http://www.stevenson-engineers.co.uk/files/Gearhobbing.txt And then look at the pics starting at http://www.stevenson-engineers.co.uk/files/hob%20indexer1.jpg Going thru to http://www.stevenson-engineers.co.uk/files/hob%20indexer26.jpg There...

Just been reading the post by Kvom called Building it, about his new workshop and machine acquisitions where he got a Bridgy and Monarch lathe. As some have posted the Monarch 10EE is the Rolls Royce of lathes and this post is for the Brits on the board mainly. In the UK CVA copied the Monarch...

OK I asked this on HSM but it's obviously not far enough OT to get any traffic. ::) Who built the first 4 valve per cylinder twin DOHC and in what year. No prizes but I think you will have a surprise. .

So looking round for bits to do for the display board and reading a post on another group about flywheels so great a fancy flywheel. Did a web search for some drawing but only found a few pictures so decided to draw one out. I took close note on the time spent on all the aspects. started after...
