Tinker tool and cutter grinder

(1/4) > >>

chipenter:
I scored a Tinker tool and cutter grinder yesterday for a score (£20) , a bit rusty and morse taper 2 that I will copy
to a 3 , does anyone hear have the instructions for setting and using one of these ?

Fergus OMore:

As far as I know there WAS a set with the original Imperial machine. Mine were lost. I seem to have a metric set of drawings and indecipherable  construction notes! However, there seems to be another set from Guy Lautard in Canada which includes the Mini Tinker. Thiis is mentioned in John Moran; Gadget Builder.com site and there is a set of construction( modification really) from Bob Darin.

I suspect that there is something as well when the Quorn was first made- which would be about 1973. It would be in Model Engineer then.

I'm sorry that it is bitty- and if you have a copy of something, I'd be glad if you will let me have a copy.

What I can tell you  is even more confusing because the late Norman Tinker gave a set of graduations for angles related to height of setting. I suspect that these( or something similar) appear in Chaddock's book of the Quorn.
I haven't the book but the photocopies from ME when I made my Quorn. Again, there is a set of formulae in Advanced Machine Tool book by Smith.

I've been playing around building a Tinker out of hollow steel sections from the local tip and re-learning Mig welding.

Clear as mud?

Thanks Normon I looked at Bobs build and shows a setting guage that I am missing , probably missing outher parts as well , I will take some photos tomorow .

Fergus OMore:
UGH!!! My sheet for this- i.e. is for straight and helical teeth and is sealed and will need a magician or optician to decipher.

Be that as it may, it follows a classical formula which the vertical arm on the Stent( it's really a vertical slide)has.
That is- (memory returning) is in Clarkson book as well as well as Chaddocks.

I'll do what I can to produce rough sketches from the sh*tty drawings to help.

You will have my PM

Cheers
