The next question is a bit odd- does anyone in the Newcastle upon Tyne area got the facility to copy my full size blue prints of this 'beastie'?

Thanks

Norman

Fergus OMore:
Thank you Rob but I'll await instructions from Nick!
Really, I was aiming at supplying Nick with a 100% full scale check list. He could mark off what he's got and see what is left to either fabricate or simply machine. Most of the parts which had to come from castings are there but quite a lot could come from stock steel or cast iron.

Whatever it is- or whatever is going to be is interesting because some years ago I was talking to Arnold Throp at a Harrogate Show about Quorns and Kennets. He, like me, had made both. He was part or well connected with Model Engineering Services and was the Dore- In Dore-Westbury milling machines. He used his Kennet every day whilst his Quorn lurked under the bench!

Regards

Norman

Fergus OMore:
Nick,

I've had a look- sort of at your 'goodies'

Somehow, I guess that only a couple of important bits 'might be missing'

Why not give me an e-mail with each bit on a separate photo. I'll identify each part and complete the Meccano set.

Whilst you are on-- get rid of that bloody awful electric motor. Chuck it at the neighbour's cat or the vicar-- but not anywhere near that machine.

( Hint, I'd have the bugger working by Sunday)

MadNick:
Norman you are so demanding!! Ill get some photos together tomorrow.

I know what you mean about the motor, it would be nice to get something more compact and svelte - I need to consider the options as the cutter base is the short version, there isnt enough room for that motor.

Nick

Fergus OMore:
All you need is a 1/6th HP motor capable of 2880 rpm (or even 1440 rpm)

As the late Prof Chaddock said- a Cut of a thous is a BIG cut.

OK, use a 1/4 hp to 'rough out' lathe tools but if you want to see your dirty finger nails in the reflexion of a lathe tool---- well, you know the rest!

Despite what it looks like and probably what you paid, it is a delicate bit of kit.

I've downloaded a few bits from the main sheet- you now need shares in a sticky tape factory :ddb:
