Yes Steamchick is wrong again. There are countless people running these small H&M engines using the WD-40 mix and clocking up countless hours on them. Longest single run so far from a friend of mine is just shy of 5 hours.

ROFLMAO with this one. Keith just LOVES taking the mickey out of anyone who takes umbrage at the way HE does things in HIS workshop. He gives the H&S responders to his Youtube channel (sometimes people will refer to these folks after a town name in northeastern France) some excellent serves with...

I haven't tried normal petrol yet, only the Shellite and the Zippo fuel which both have rather a pleasant smell.

@Cogsy what fuel are you using? I've tried Shellite, but don't think my two run as well on it as they do with Zippo (both mixed about 20:1 with a good two stroke oil).

Yes, Orwellian.

G'day Steve, offended no, amused greatly. Hugely interested to see just how far a group of people (who by their responses and human nature, have turned into a short term thread gang) will struggle to bolster each of their very public and very conspicuously bizarre stances.

Up to Chernobyl comparisons now.....can't wait to see what's next.

Very interesting to witness this massive divide in practicality between countries, I posted this on the largest Aussie engineering & machining group there is and mentioned some of the comments and thoughts that have been espoused here......very very different reaction from fellow Aussies.

Its actually starting to become quite interesting. I'm looking forward to the next round of bizarre anecdotes cited.

Nothing to do with being cavalier, its being a practical person in the home workshop.

Its 'lose' not 'loose'. Thanks for not visiting my website anymore, much appreciated (I didn't even know that I had a 'website').

Hope no one who's complaining has ever put a file near a spinning lathe. I know I do....regularly.

Once again, just completely over the top response.

No, I reckon that's you.

Well done.

Great thread.

Bought a cheap Chinese Digital Micrometer, here's a bit of a review -

Mate, you're going over the top. Its a 1" dremel saw blade held by its arbor with a pair of multigrips.

Yeah, I could have bought and paid for a whole lot of things and waited for them to arrive to use that may or may not have worked as well. Sometimes you use what you have at hand. Necessity is the mother of invention ........ as the saying going.
