Hi Folks, Thanks very much for all the replies. I particularly like the loctite idea as that seems easiest to do. Except for the price of course..... £32 for 50ml in the UK plus delivery. >:( I can get the CI for about £10 including delivery. Still, it's a good job that I hadn't brought the...

Hi Jason, Thanks very much for the advice. ;D A final question, how should I install the liner, press fit or loctite or ..? Thanks, Arnak

Hi Folks, No it's not quite the which material should I use but close. ;D I am constructing a 3.5" Virginia and am making the steam cylinders from scratch to save money on castings from Cast Iron. I was doing quite well until I overdrilled the exhaust port outlet hole and ran into the...

Hi Lew, It's pretty obvious, they start in the solid state then when you overheat them when sharpening they turn liquid and melt! :big: Arnak

Hi Guys, Lew, in Germany they call them 2 phase drills. :o John, yes I agree the price is ridiculous, given the cost of the Tormek to start with you are looking at £500 + for the complete kit. ::) I'm sure that we could come up with a cheaper alternative. Arnak

Hi Lew, Yes, that's what I thought too. There are several videos on using it here http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=tormek+drill+sharpening&oq=tormek+drill+&aq=0&aqi=g1&aql=&gs_sm=c&gs_upl=1548l4162l0l5583l13l13l0l6l6l0l196l1002l0.7l7l0 I can't see it being that much of a problem to...

Note to self :- When screw cutting with the half nut permanently engaged, remember that the forward and reverse switch handle is the long chrome one with the red knob.... not the short black one with the black handle that engages / disengages the half nuts! :fan: NB: It is difficult to get...

Hi G.N.R, Thanks for the praise. ;D I'm just glad that you found it useful. Martin

Hi, Here is the wiring schematic. Martin

Hi Folks, I hope you find these tips useful. The first one is to put a 12mm bolt through the moving jaw of the band saw at the side away from the blade. The bolt should be long enough to act as an adjustable stop for the times when you want to cut a small length from the end of a bar but don’t...
