Coo, 7 replies already. And there was me thinking, "they'll all be asleep, or in their sheds/shops"
A current project is a variation of Mklotz's Dremel mount
http://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/index.php?topic=414.0but mine ain't a real Dremel and the more I think about it, the more I revise it. Only cure for that is to build it. I only considered it in the first place because I have some nice 1/2" square stainless(?) bar that I saved from a litho printing m/c I scrapped. The "good reason" is same as Marv's, for creating tooling from 1/8" sq HSS. This small size is quite appropriate to my machines, the biggest being the Taig. IF it ever gets finished I'll do a show and tell (with piccies)
Bogs, Diolch yn fawr for the Croeso - there it ends, I'm a transported Black Country man. Among the ex-printing machine junk I have the hand lever of a prehistoric guillotine and have detected the possible presence of 2 or 3 Paddleducks cylinder blocks hiding in there. Wonderfully seasoned cast iron with NO hard spots or blowholes in the short end from which I made an endmill holder.
My main interest is IC engines with compression ignition high on the list.
Darren. I suppose Ralph is No1. Who is No6? I am not a number, I am a free man ...
