Well... i couldn't wait until next Wednesday to finish it, and since i don't have a mill at home, i just had to use the lathe. I cut most of that ugly edge with a angle grinder, the rest with the lathe I turned drilled and treated the two holding clamps Then i milled the recess...

Hello Danie, and welcome to the forum If your mill is a bit like this http://www.lathes.co.uk/harrisonmiller/index.html Simply mount a magnetic stand on the bed, with a dial indicator against the column behind the bed. Please write a bit about yourself in the Welcome section. Holt PS: if you...

I am removing 3mm at each pass, the Deckel will remove 5 - 6 mm with no problems, but with these interrupted cuts, it makes a lot of noise Holt

Nice idea, never seen that before, but i dont think the wife would lend me her scissors for that ;D Holt

After reading so much good about the tangential toolholder i decided that should be the first "real" tool for my Colchester. I started with a piece of unknown tool steel 25 X 43 X 140 mm I couldn't find the angle base, so i decided to try the magnetic sinus plane, a bit scary, but with light...

I think you will find this Röhm vice almost as good as a Kurt http://www.rohm-products.com/390.html?&user_products_pi1%5BshowUid%5D=229&MP=&cHash=8949e0d0860f9843ccf9713111f5c9b3

I was thinking about what was easy to use, if the scale dosn't add up to the dia. of the workpiece, i could as well keep the existing wrong system instead of changing it for another wrong system Holt

In order to make sense, it should actually be a 10mm pitch (or 1mm, but require a lot of turning) to fit the dial Holt

The handle on the tailstock is mounted. I turned a bush from some of the stainless i got with the lathe, then i turned the hole in the handle to fit the bush. I don't have a boring bar yet, so i use a long 8mm carbide mill i got from work. the normal carbide mills are send to regrind, but...

Hello Dave I vas thinking that at first, but then i mounted my dial indicator, one full turn = 5.00 mm Holt

Can anyone tell me the meaning with this scale on the cross slide, every ten divisions (from 0 to 10 etc) moves the cross slide 0.25 mm, reducing the diameter with 0,5 mm It's the same on the compound, maybe i just have to mount the DRO in a hurry Holt

He has his own website. Here you can find some details about his engines, there is also a mail address you could try http://www.findsminimodelhotbulbengines.dk/ Holt

You say you don't need another lathe. Who are you kidding? of course you need another lathe. don't we all ? ;D Holt

I just finished the hand crank for the main slide, i have shortened the one on the cross slide to make it a little more appropriate The next thing will be the tailstock handle, the one i am using now just don't look right although it works allright ;D I got one with the lathe, i don't...

If you could find space for two rows of holes, a 60 hole row for the divisions you mention, and a 72 hole row for angular divisions. Holt

I would go with option B with a thin gold stripe at the outher edge Holt

Thanks for the comments. I made chips today!!! The hand crank (is it called that?) on the cross slide was broken when i got the lathe. Only a piece of treated brass was left in the handle for me to drill out. Well naturally the treads was imperial, and here imperial bolts are as rare as...

Nice idea! and now you have to make at least 3 different size machines ;D Holt

Well, there is always something isn't there >:( this time it was the front cover of the Norton gearbox. Someone, probably many years ago, overtightened the bolts and cracked the area around the bottom of one of the countersunk holes. In this area, there isn't support all the way around the...

This renovation is certainly the most extensive and beautiful one i have seen :bow:. I am glad my renovation isn't that big, but i would love to own the result. I am sure you will treasure it once it is finished Holt
