    Sorry for the confusion

    It seems that I have confused a few members with my post last year, even I got confused at the time. https://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/threads/nearly-back-in-the-fold.30444/ To now put things straight, when they operated on me last year, it seems as though a few of the nasty 'C' cells...

    Old posts revisited

    Our Jason, a long time ago, put a link into another website to prevent lots of data being lost. This is a link to some of my offerings that might have lost all their pictures while posted on here. https://www.model-engineer.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=103479 Although old, I still think that...

    Where are you from?

    I don't know about other members on here, but when someone asks a question or wants something, it is so annoying every time to ask their location to see if I can easily reply to their request. I am from the UK, and unless the person tells me where they come from (even just the main country...

    Nearly back in the fold

    As most of the older members from here will remember me from ages past and maybe the odd posts I have done in the last year or so, very curtailed because of medical issues I have had. The cancer surgery and treatment went well last year despite a few specialists saying that I couldn't be fixed...

    Updates HV6 charts

    A few months ago I think someone asked about the correction charts for the Vertex HV6 rotary tables when working with the dividing disks because as supplied with the RT when new, they were wrong. It is only now that I have found out the updated ones were wrong as well. The set I have attached...

    Very complete CNC mill and Gear hobbing machine

    There is a little story involved with these pieces, so before we start, these are pick up only from my home in Cheshire UK. My very good friend and I wanted to make a CNC milling machine each, not the usual pick up the bits and bolt it together type, but where everything had been thought out...

    Thank you and a very merry Christmas

    I would like to thank everyone for getting me this far. Very early this year I was diagnosed with bronchial cancer, where it joined onto the lower part of one of my left lung lobes and I was not expected to get through it more than six months. Due to a very special surgeon, who gave me a chance...

    Aeromotor

    Despite not being up to making anything at this time, I am still looking to the future for when I am capable. I picked up on Utube a very nice looking engine, and found out that it is the well known Myfordboy who produces some very good casting kits plus lots of good videos on Utube...

    John Stevenson - RIP

    I had a phone call this morning informing me that John had passed away peacefully in his sleep earlier this morning. A very sad loss to the model engineering fraternity. His engineering skills and methods have most probably touched most people without them actually knowing it. John

    John Stevenson

    John has a major health problem which started just before mine. I was told to keep it quiet as he isn't one who likes sympathy, but the cat has been let out of the bag. Rather than me repeating it all, could you please go to here and reply if you want to...

    Gone as far as I can

    Despite all my efforts to keep going with multiple disabilities, it looks like I have been dealt my final hand. After numerous scans and cameras down my throat taking biopsies, I was told that I have fairly advanced bronchial cancer. I am not after sympathy, as I have had as good a life as I...

    Cable, satellite or ?

    I have just been going through some holiday pics from my recent trip. Across the road from our hotel in Varna,Bulgaria there are some apartment blocks and I noticed this little jumble of wires at the top of a power pole. There seems to be wires going to every apartment, just strung up...

    Gone for a while

    Cheers all round as I won't be poking my nose in anywhere. I have just spent the last week getting my car ready for it's annual trip to Bulgaria, a round trip of about 4 something thousand miles. 5 days there, 14 days holiday and 5 days back. But I will be on my own as the partner is flying...

    Physical and mental assistance required

    Due to some rather bad news, my very good friend will not be able to help me get my shop back up and running for some time, if at all. I will tell what is required. I have a new 2HP 3 phase motor to be fitted to my lathe and a second hand VFD to control it. I will require someone who lives...

    Help required with threading inserts

    Another question again, this time concerning threading inserts. Has anyone any experience with them? I do know a few things from a bit of research. For what we do, basically there are two sizes, 11 and 16, then 60 degree and 55 degree followed by right and left hand and maybe internal and...

    How to develope an angle from plan

    I am now getting everything ready to restart in my shop, and one of the first jobs will be to make a 3 roll rolling machine. I like to get everything ready and worked out before I start, but I have a problem with this drawing (the only one showing what this machine requires). I have looked at...

    Nose thread on early BSO dividing head.

    It just so happens that I have to make a backplate for my old BSO diving head which is over 25 years old. My new one has a Myford nose thread so all my interchangeable chucks will fit it. I think that the thread on the old one is a B&S thread. Does anyone have the exact data for it? I will...

    Chinese New Year

    Chinese New Year starts on January 28th 2017. If you are quick, get your orders in well before then if buying from the far east. Otherwise wait for at least a week past that date. It isn't just that shipping will be delayed, but many items seem to go missing at this time. John

    3 in 1 Fabrication machine for sale

    I am selling this as I am converting over to all individual machines. The roller and bender have hardly ever been used and the guillotine has only cut very thin non ferrous. Just needs a bit of clean due to sitting in the back of the shop for a few years It is a 12" machine like this one, but...

    For those wanting a dividing head for a smaller machine

    I have known about these for a fair while but haven't come across a 4" one before. For those of you with a smaller milling machine which can't even get a small dividing head to fit, for rather little cost, one of these will do almost the same job as a DH...
