Bout time :poke: :lol: Looks like it'll do nicely :thumbup: After Xmas!!? I'm planning on that being the time I get a bit of peace and quiet in my workshop! Got the sparky coming on Sat am to wire up all my new strip lights and sockets :zap: I'll be able to work in the dark again (you know what I mean!?) Looking forward to seeing this on the motor :whip: :thumbup: Nick, You machining Graphite in bed? I've often soldered sat on mine but not used the lathe! :lol: Ralph. |

Ade Just read this thread over a couple of days. I also tried the acid trick with a broken tap. I tried HSo2 ( if i rememeber my chemisty right) . Took a couple of days but it loosened it the end. I will call in sometime as i am so close. Mike |
| NickG:
I was just about to embarrass myself with lack of chemistry knowledge then, so I googled it and I was right, it would have been embarrassing! :doh: This acid must be bloomin strong to dissolve taps - sounds scary! Ralph :lol: I do know a fellow model engineer that had his lathe on a wheeled trolley that he wheeled from under the stairs and used in the kitchen though! :jaw: Nick |
| Mike Cole:
Thinks I was wrong with my HSo2 :hammer::thinking more of H2SO4. I did not try to disolve the whole tap ,just to wiggle it out. When I worked for the Oil Industry we had to boil some nasty stuff. Not nice having your lab disolve around you. We had the gardener mowing the lawn outside and the mower fell down a hole as we disolved the drainage pipes. That was meant to be our clean discharge :zap: I left as soon as possable Mike |
