Wow, very nice work Al, I've done some very simple sand casting before when I was much younger, we used the facilities where my dad used to teach. Found it difficult so I always find these casting threads mesmorising. Interesting project :thumbup: |

That is an impressive piece of work you are taking on, and you are doing a beautiful job of it. I myself bought the casting set long ago, at a time when it was far cheaper, and shipping was far less, and while I don't use it every day, having a die filer is a "need" in my shop, and I would not happily do without it. I think you will be very pleased to have it when you are done. I've seen several made to be attached to a lathe, and I always cringe at the thought of all the filings getting in the lathe. I'm really looking forward to seeing the end product, great start. Mad Jack |

It's the abrasive stuff (aluminium oxide, etc.) that concerns me on the lathe, surely that'd cause far more wear than, say, brass filings...? |
