.... he he, I knew I recognized it from my dim and distant past ! Incidentally, I understand that Meccano is no long made in Binns Road, Liverpool, but in the Pas de Calais - what is the world coming to :scratch: |

No politics!! |

That is the spirit! Now when you have the steam up, no dout you are building tightening fixture to complement it? https://www.maritool.com/images/bt30lock-3.JPG Pekka |
| awemawson:
Well Pekka, I don't have anything QUITE so fancy :palm: My tightening fixture is a simple tapered bore, a restraining lug, and a pair of flats to clamp in the vice - obviously home made, but not by me - I picked it up in a collection of tooling that I bought and it's proved very useful. |

If it's fancy you want I do have a very fancy Tool Pre-Setter that lets you measure and set tool offsets off the machine - very nice bit of kit. I bought it as a 'basketcase' on a chance, but luck was on my side as it turns out that PCM have a small sales office only a couple of miles down the road - I was able to chat them up and extract enough technical information to get it fully functional :ddb: ... that said - I rarely use it, and usually measure and set tools on the Beaver Partsmaster directly, using the Heidenhain probe to set references and a Vertex Z height setter to compare lengths. |
