More expensive fiber lasers that can engrave metal and that are fully enclosed and safety interlocked are available. Thunder Laser's Aurora series for example, but there are others. You could also fabricate your own enclosure from acrylic panels or provide safety glasses for anyone in the...

I suspect that FB groups and other mainstream social media like X, Youtube, and Instagram have attracted a lot of public interest away from the older forums, like the Google .io groups, Village Press and CNC-Zone.

Jerry Howell (RIP) produced a wide range of olans for engines that are machined from bar stock and are pretty inexpensive. There are steam internal combustion, and Stirling engine plans available. http://www.model-engine-plans.com/

Good luck with the search!

I have a complete set that I have been thinking of selling, but shipping from me in the US to you in Denmark would almost certainly be prohibitive, You can PM me should you still be interested.

I think that its sendcutsenD.com though the other seems to resolve to the same web site.

It looks like you need something much better than a small Clausing knee mill, but should end up with one while waiting for the best tool to show up, the Clausing 8520 is pretty easy to break down unto several hundred-pound assemblies and is easy to move with a refrigerator dolly. That's...

You might keep an eye out for a Linley Jig Borer. They used to be popular amongst hobby metal workers but are not mentioned much anymore and are pretty rare. If you go looking, try to get one with the power downfeed and all the collets, which might have been custom-made for the machine...

Has anybody contacted Southwestern Industries to confirm that they have a new TAD product planned?

I've had good luck with Wera too. Wiha as well. Neither cheap, but I'd rather cry once.

Too bad the guy that needs help is in Kansas ;)

The last time I tried that the PO refused the shipment because it had advertisements in it, even the magazine was 100+ years old and nothing in it was still available new.

HSMAdvisor is another feed & speed calculator that is available and I find it much easier to use and more reliable than GWizard. It also has a mobile version (FSAdvisor) which is handy at the machine if there is no computer nearby. https://hsmadvisor.com/

My 3rd edition in hard copy and (I believe) purchased directly from Bob Shores definitely had the copyright notice that I quoted in Post #25. If your downloaded copy did not have this notice, then perhaps the original scanner intentionally skipped that page in the book.

Agreed, thanks for following up.

I just meant that contacting the publisher could be difficult if Bob self-published.

I have the 1997, rd. edition copy of the book, purchased from Bob Shores himself at NAMES (I believe). So far as I can tell, there is no ISBN number for it. No publisher either, so perhaps it was self-published. There is a page stating: "All rights reserved. No part of this book may be...

It seems to me that in cases like this it is incumbent upon the community to make a diligent attempt to contact the heirs of copyright holders before publically posting or linking to downloadable versions of copyrighted material, both books and model designs. Conjecture from the Internet...

Is the book still under copyright, perhaps held by Bob's heirs?

Some decent deals can be found on Ebay for tri-mike bore gauges, though you will need a known good ring gage to verify it.
