No hobnobs then unless you get August off ?

Billys main problem being limited to one site is that he can't pop in for a coffee and drop me packets of hobnobs off :D Billy, Your firm got an office in Nottingham ? If you book going to there as private mileage then the Notts office to Leicester trip is a business expense. .

Chuck, What about a handle that goes over the rear boss and the index screw goes thru that ? Give a bit more leverage and control ? John s.

Wot no Hobnobs ?

As well as single point threading you can use a tap with all the flutes except one ground off or a holder with a Coventry die insert in it. This is an external thread done on the Ahha machine.

Both my controllers, Mach3 and Ahha have thread milling built in. Mach3 uses a wizard, fill the boxes in and it spits the code out. Ahha has a G31 [ I think ] that does it all in one line. John S.

Nice write up Ron, thanks. John S.

Nice, I'm still on the same page.

Very interesting, I'll keep an eye out on this. Worried about cutting forces, what about a strongish spring pushing the indexing washers against the template and a lever on the washers to control feed and give some feel to the cutting ? Another way would be to have a bowden cable from the...

Bill, Got 1" UNF and UNC taps here. John S.

Dan, Take a look at this out of interest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV8Dq6mslnE John S.

There is nothing wrong with flycut gears IF the cutter is made correctly and to the constrains laid down by the way gears work like OD, number of teeth and depth. If any of these are ignored you might as well cut the teeth with a slitting saw or use pin and lantern wheels. John S.

Just paid for the download of the book, got the reciept by email from Lulu but no link ?? Does it come later by email ? John S.

It's a bastard making the nut for it. John s.

OK your names on it, I think it's brand new, if not it's only been supporting a point of view. John S.

What you doing with yer old mug ? John S.

Swap you a packet of hobnobs [ or five ] for a steady ? John S.
