Thanks for all the comments guys.
I like that alibre CAD programme, I could have done it with a few sheets of paper and a pencil, but it's easier to visualise things in 3D, quick and easy results ... you'd think I worked for them :lol: I don't honest!
A few learning points have come out of this project ... my wish list is growing! ...QCTP, Power Hacksaw, Rotary table, tailstock die holder, set of standard carbide tools?, Compressor (not sure if I have high enough speeds for that) Also, shelf bracket material is cr@p!
Right, onto the next project! :coffee: :dremel: :proj:

Bogs,
I had a banging headache this morning funnily enough! :bang: Not going to try that again!
I can get it to run longer by blowing the air in timed pulses, but then I realised that was cheating ... I was acting as the valve! :lol:

lol - why don`t you pick up a cheap compressor and try it with that. I think I got mine for about £7 off an indoor market! Sure, it gets hot after about 10 mins and it can only blow out a few PSI but it does a job and gets my little engines moving. Don`t get me wrong, I`m looking out for a larger compressor and tank when one comes along at the right price but the little one has its place.
NickG:
Chris,
Do you mean the car tyre type of thing or is it a proper compressor? Never seen them.
Nick
