Malta will probably be serviced by ARC Euro in the UK and they sell the machine with a full Mach license and a full licensed copy of Vectric's Cut2D which is enough to get started. So other than a computer and some tooling you are all set to go. John S.

Used a pair whilst on a job a while ago belonging to the customer. Wire stripping part was Ok but didn't like the crimping part, It's not very flexible to feed the wire and crimp in between the handles and there was a lack of leverage. On the yellow crimps it was hard work to get a good crimp...

Bogs, If you find anymore free memory that fits a 6 7/8" helmet size can you drop me an email please. John S.

Doesn't Malta have bank holidays ?

Often do this, in fact one job I do with an offset hole I keep a sample pattern with the packing piece taped to it so I have it for a quick setup. John S.

????????????? It matches the orientation of the table when located by the locating tenons and the holding slots are in the correct position. Any other mounting face has no tenons or holding slots. John S.

Inkscape can convert a picture to vector and save to DXF, good thing is it's free. John S.

Very true but I can never understand why some folk have orgasms and pay stupid prices for those Leinen vises where the front jaw is fixed and the moveable rear jaw disappears over the back of the bench. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5wWCRiDh-0 Got one on the floor here and some guy keeps...

Careful, this is what happens before you get good :D Video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOmSrePm_UM John S.

What's rare about 1/2" x 12 ? One of the first threads ever invented and far better than that abomination of 1/2" x 13 that many lathes can't even cut.

Very rare that I disagree with John, I respect his ways views and ways of working too much but the video he links to is terrible. It's blurred, too dark and when he zooms in to show a gear the teeth are that out of focus that they could be any form. All his calculations are incorrect, since...

In which case I should sue Peugeot for not fitting anti-lock brakes to my 10 year old van as they were current when the van was being built. The fact it never said they had anti-lock brakes on it and I never paid for them is of no interest. Gotta go sue them. John S.

In Draftsight type in export > enter and follow the instructions. Can save in many types, PDF, BMP etc Try it. John S.

Not thought about doing a twelve cylinder 4 valve then ? ? ;D John S. P.S. Nice work though.

Don't know how accurate the description is but I have heard of heel and toe. John S.

Nope sorry, seems like Alibre has changed the checking feature and get into the same loop. John S.

Some very good points made here, thank you . First a bit of History. I was in with Alibre from the start when they announced a free version called Xcad and then renamed it Alibre Express and gave away 10,000 licenses. A lot of people were not pleased over this and accused them of a bait and...

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...

So will this Dreamcutter fit my 10EE lathe or the small 14" TOS lathe ?

I have a very similar device that fits my 10EE lathe. Nice piece of kit that has only been used once because it's too complicated to be of general use. Unless you are using it on a regular basis then you have to re-learn all the settings. I use the type shown by Tin but with a universal...
