I got sufficient information from the maual of the vAlign on thr 'bet. Mine was 110V and came with a converter to run on UK Mains I suspect that you may beed to make anadapter for the mill drill as depepicted here. Once you have somethig like this, it s only a cououple of bolts to fix, NB...

Almost bearings for skate boards;);)

I'm wondering if there are several 6 x4 saws as I am on my second( similar) machine and the factory bits on BarinJ's macine are quite similar( or eve identical) Relies from genuine ownwes of 6 x 4 owners only Yes, I HAVE a wood bansaw and once owned a 3 vwheel job too. Thanks in anticipation...

But if you have threaded 60 degrees, you should have aenough 'meat' left to do 55 Whitworth! From what I have learned about screwcutting, Kenneth C Hart witing as Martin Scleeve and his Screwcutting in the Lathe and earlier tomes, he often 'truncated' the threads for special threads...

Perhaps Googling a video on how brass musical instruents are made. It gets addictive and a complete change frpm turning instruments using exotic hardwoods

No ! A Professor and principal of one of the most prestigious schools cof engineering and who was engaged in the the Manhattan Project was no body's fool:) Perhaps it is inapppropriate but several of us went on a week's visit to the Hebrides to see what Man had acieved in the Stone Age and...

I thought that I had given the old simple measurement when it all could have been done on a Columbus gauge, See Spaparey's the Amaturs Lathe book. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After looking at a video by a crtain...

I've tried to write a cohesive answer elsewhere and a[[reciate that most people find difficulty in maths especially when understand spheres and cones and cylinders. Faced with a Deckel clone. So trying to break the construction of a D Bit is Chuck the solid round cylinder in a collet and...

My comments etc deleted as qustioner has now admitted to having information of which I have no interest. I am regarding this as a hobby which is in full kee[ping with a HOME workshop Norman

Thank you for taking me back to modifications. I recall in the early 50's a Martin Cleeve bought 'half a new Myford ML7) he was rather piir) and he added things like a small geear box with just enough cogs to cut his threads( and write a book on it) and swing tools for screwcuting and...

FWIW I havw a note in the Marl3 Quorn schecules of parts thaat the bwaeings are noe Magneto b earings E13 as a replacenment to the Rank Hoffman Pollard ones supplied to the Mak1 and the old Kennet and I presume those fitted to the Blaxkgates rype Stent of fabricated parts. What is...

Greetings Charles. I have ticked your comments about your spindle cartridge but I have serious doubts about whether the castings will be 'desdoned' I'm not an engineer or anything like that but friends and my family were. Classiically, castings were rough machined and left outside to weather...

Having built a Mark1 so many years ago, there is a lot of old wives tales usually from old wives who know less than npothing about Quorns and probably not much more about other topics, There is no 'grey' area. Without question, most. will agree that it is a challenge. Now in my 91st year, I'm...

The spindle cartridges for the Mak1 Quorn, the Stent and the Kennet ---ALL are only. 1" in diameter and the 'motive power' rennended for all of the 2880Rpm 1/6th HP AC. However, it would aappesr that the OP has already 'done' the Mk1 spimdle satisfactorily and is capable of making an...

My Mark1 Quorn has the spindle as per the Chaddock design and works fine. I also hsve a similar one on my Stent for whivh plsns are availsble in the IK from Blackgates Engineering whilst I have a Kennet but I doubt that few of us will have drawings. These also work fine. I have a Potts pair of...

Thanks Dave ~There is still a lot of information For newcomers- like me;)= I like John Moran's GadgetBuilder.com. There's a bit from our BaronJ about 4 facet drill grinding. GadgetBuilder would answer a lot of unnecessary questions here Long may it flourish Norman

Again, there is - or was. the one on the Chris Heapy site. It had a handle that could be detached. I used my one on the mill vice.

imho It has more to do with the INTERNAL diameter and only monute adjuents to the diameter are possible. I made one to a recognised design for one previous lathe and then bought a lathe with a different diametr and then bought a similar lathe to. the former---- and so on. I am sure that you...
