Suggest you consider using more than 6V - - - heaters work on energy and at 6V to get say 120W you will need 20A of current. That's a LOT of current in a small item (you wiring will have to be quite large to handle the current). Even at 12 V you're still talking about 10A and that's still...

You may want to look at something called the "quasiturbine" . They have been talking about this wee beastie for probably close to 20 years. No takes for buying the technology though - - - maybe because it would be fiddly to build - - dunno. Might get some ideas - - - - dunno - - - - ??? HTH

Very interesting - - -thanks for sharing. What are you modeling in?

Sorry Mr Lloyd - - - don't think I was advocating applying large amounts of force without knowing what needed to happen. I've used a total of 10' of snipe on a 24" pipe wrench and I was bouncing on it to break a stubborn nut on a 1-1/8" stub that was machined on the end of a 1-1/4" square...

Hmmmmm - - - running a version of *nix here and that means I have exactly one (!!) choice - - - and that's FC for 3D CAD. Now if someone cares to donate a reasonably spec'd pc AND a good copy of Solid works - - - I'll work on that but I'd be running it off line so it likely won't run for long...

and ordinary steel plate will deform quite easily - - - bearing puller (whatever that cup is called) are not really normal steels You know - - - if you're just trying to get rid of the bearings there are a number of cheap but violent ways to get rid of the things. 1. cutting torch with careful...

IMO your post delineates the differences between someone who works with paper and the someone that makes the stuff. I can give you at least 3 different ways to make a box out of members (and that's without bending anything) - - - you talk about living with goofy (imo) problems. I would...

I have found the 'help' videos to be largely singularly unhelpful to date. My latest version is 21.2 so it looks like another update is in order - - - only have some 13 other upgrades/updates already. Later mate - - -

Well - - - I never ran into it but there were many (many many many) suggestions that this was a common perhaps even a prevalent issue. AIUI my biggest issue is that 3D cad works from loosey goosey to (at least) sorta accurate. (to constrain a rectangle - - - 1. draw a rectangle of any size...

I believe that Assembly 3 never had a problem with the nomenclature issue that has be biting at the heal of the devs for many years now. My problem w Freecad is that I can't wrap my head around how constraints work. There seems to be only one (magic) solution where in real life (ie not paper)...

Hmmmmm - - - and Mike and Tony can be found where?

Whilst I deprecate the need for me to be the drive for you to get moving I 'can' understand such need. As I am in the process of the long wait for surgery myself - - - I think maybe I do understand. Happy hunting - - - and I'm a waiting . . . (note the no ending (grin!))

Please - - - I'm interested. So that would be 26 x $10 + postage. Any idea how to get the blueprints from issue #2?

I'd suggest that you get a machine. In the using and asking questions (I was fortunate as I not only did an apprenticeship but also worked for some years) and watching others it is possible to learn things. I was shown how to do bearing fits (+0.0000/-0.0005") on a lathe with some 0.012" in...

Suggest Kuehne & Nagel They specialize in container and ship load stuff but they are willing to talk pallet load size. Might not be too easy but they have been willing to talk to me here (with some time to go and get item from central yard).

Hmmmmmm - - - you know - - - before you spend more than a few $$$$ building your EDM and finding that right sized hollow stock (the needle sizes I saw were all still far too large imo) why don't you find who in your somewhat general area represents Mikron tools. IIRC they have drills (Crazy...

Even then! (I seem to be considered someone who doesn't have any idea how to maneuver the internet - - been on it since 1986 so that's not true either!) Only option is to download the image, save it and then use a graphics program to enlarge it. Problem with that is that the text doesn't...

No pity here - - - like zero!!!!! There are enough people who change cars every 5 years whether they need to or not. They would do just fine on that - - - just they can justify even higher salaries for senior executive if they can change that frequency - - - so they did (and are!). I'm not...

IIRC some of the modern diesels are running in the 300 bar range for injection pressures. HTH

Hmmmmmmmmmm - - - might be possible in Chrome - - - - that doesn't happen in Firefox - - - sorry.
