Morning John I particularly like the addition of being able to raise and lower the grinding head etc.. This us also part of the blackgates Stent configration ans adds the 3D function to aan already worhwhile design. So----- NICE! Norman

Whilst the coffee is removing some of last night's malt whisky, here is an idea. In the days of yore, the late and much lamented John Stevenson crossed our rather blunt Dekel ground swords at each other! We claimed that each of us had 'invented; or modified athe rudiments or basis of tool...

Morning John I'm intrigued to see what and how much the very basiv 'Brooks' has become. I was musing about the old Kennet and note that Hemingwaykits has modified( eeek!) it to be a Worden now in its 3rd resurrection (more eeks) and note that if someone wants to add, it has to be a additional...

So Coulsea the Deckel as I supposed is NOT - or anway near being a Universal machine. It obvioudly fills YOUR needs but my Deckel clome certainly doesn't fill mine. Thank you for your candid reply Norman

Keep posting johnn. We need a breath of fresh air which you provide Best Wishes from the even older Grumpy Old Git

BaronJ and I share very similar ideas about tool and cutters:). John is referring bto the homee make Brooks grinder which appeared 9jnModel Engineers Workshop issues 16 and 17 and is a sort of dimimotiveversion of the famous Clarkson and sort of shrunk to fit the model engineers workshop...

Best wishes on your construction. :) As far as I can see, the Mark1 and the Mark3 possess many parts which are interchangeable. Once I 'cler the decks for action', I think think that both bsses are identical and I'm going( mI hope) use the new tool holder on the old machine-- until - well...

hi Couldea I note that you have a 'Deckel clome' As I am disappointed in mine-namd others i the past have similar expriences, please tell me what the Chinese affair can do. The decke WAS designed to sharpen engraving tools but can be pushed to sharpen lathe tools and the ends of milling...

I must and so must replies make sweeping statemts Tool grindomg is NOT a one page or video aqlthough it may clarify ONE aspect. The choice alomfor suitable grinding wheels occupies many pages. Again sometimes it may be recommended to change wheels to 'rough out' and thrn do a basic angle and...

:mad: i've bought a Mk3 Quorm kit to go weeoth my Mk1

Timo Yes and how long is a piece of string? IMHO it all depends on what on what you want to grind. It is possible to get a tool to sharpen lathes tools and the ends of milling cutters and work from the excellent plans from Eccentric Engineering or buy a set of plans for thr Tinker for...

I'm not 'into piston rings etc' but I've successfully bored the parallel 1" bores that form the base bars of the Quorn tool and cutter grinder. Theoretically there are THREE sets and are 3.5" apart. There are TWO in line boring bars and provided the lathe is true, there is no question that...

Basically my smal vice has another degree of freedom but my Otts Copy of a vertical slide has the abilty to add probably might be an almost Fourth dimension because it has calibrated divding and graduation and has the ability to measure in `all planes and the ability to take the normal...

Peter I wondered about property under the law - and guessed:) Best Wishes Norman

I got sort of intersted. Way back, there was a man with a harelip with Josip Broz( Tito) And then 51 years ago, a Roman galley was discovered at 2 decompressions off MMjlet, Perhaps St Pauls and obviosly not Malta! Then exackly 50 years on Sunday past, a Russian built airlimer came into KRK...

Well Yes but I cannot see why a 70+ gentleman living in Istria and trading as 'property business' for the last 20+ years is so intrsted in a very modestly priced casting. I suppose that we all have have our lie vices:)

I apologise as my poor sight is unable for me to enjoy the visdeos. What we wend to miss out is what the orinnal bolts were made from. They were actually forged from 'wrought iron' `nd not steel. My father appears to have been apprecticshipped( Is that a word?) to a coach - proper coach builder...

:p I can assure you that the recommendation is excellent and I have used it many times - on garden gates. Geo Thomas writing in his Model Engineers Worhshop Manual takes a mere 46 PAGES and if further reading was made I would gues that my figure in an underestimate. Our worthy BaronJ adds to...

Hi Guys 50 years ago today, I married the 2nd Lady Fellow in dentistry at the Royal college of Surgeons at bEdinburgh. She had spent from 1956 learing to drill and fill holes and would continue to do it until she was too expensive and learned to plsay the barisaxophone and create yet another...
