    Gone as far as I can

    Yup. I recognise the syndrome John; organs shifting into unexpected places, yup. Gave a trainee doctor (beginning to read scans) a right moment of panic I can tell you!:D Silly perisher should have given more attention to 'the history'... Also, good on your consultant rectifying pain meds; if...

    Gone as far as I can

    Gawd John...I've just come back to reading unread posts after a sabatical and reading about the second part of your journey has twisted me up inside something chronic! See, your serendipitous discovery is well-nigh exactly what happened to LOML 15 months ago. If it hadn't been for a vigilant...

    Gone as far as I can

    John, like many posters before me, you've 'shown me the way'. Yourself and the excellent Mr Hall (and Bob Loader before him) have demystified and simplified metal strangling enough to give us weekend warriors the confidence to 'give it a try'. For that I thank you. I'm sorry that when I was...

    For Sale: Reversing switch, suit heavy lathes?

    Thanks Stan, I posted the idea because I had seen a couple of chaps in the States looking for just this switch for a Clausing. Apparently, it was fitted as standard? Thanks Andrew, I am indeed trying to sell it; I've modified the title to make that clearer. I just want it gone as I have no...

    maraging steel uses

    Maraging steel is used to make superior blades for fencing - where the blade is called a "foil". They stand up more to the dog's abuse of metal on metal during bouts and bend without suffering as much metal fatigue as other steels. "On Guard!" Sam

    Elliott swivelling milling vice

    100% the real McCoy. It came from a prep school, where it was being used as their drilling vice, so no production line thrashing here. Regretably, it lost its handle in transit, but they are easy to fabricate. £45. location: East Belfast. BT4. 02890654716 Sam

    Push button magnetic base repair

    Thanks New_Guy and Ken. I have marinaded it in WD40 and 3in1, so far, no joy. I am considering Dremelling off the rivets and prizing it apart. Let you know how that does. I have two other 'rotary switch' versions and I got the WIKI page on them; works by rotating a version of a keeper plate...

    Push button magnetic base repair

    Help lads? I've acquired an old Eclipse push button mag base, with a badly jammed button. So, it won't switch on. Has anyone taken one of these apart? Or, got a parts diagram? Sam, also known as "Q". PS Eclipse 403

    CNC Lathe and Mill for sale

    Morning ALL, I have a Conect CNC lathe (short ML10?) with the ORIGINAL software and a Conect mill up for grabs. They were installed in a school and use was restricted to the Sixth form, so usage was minimal and under strict supervision. I am resident in Belfast, UK, but will be on the...
