Good evening gents , I have got distracted from the lathe today getting the milling machine cleared off and making a gadget that a diamond point dresser fits into to true up a grinding wheel for sharpening my woodturning gouges, I will attach a photo or two and you will see what its like ( the holes in side of billet were already there and just big enough to do the job so will have to do. I have been given one to copy. Note temp inverter for power table resting on radiator... another job to do !
Is it just my clock on posts wrong or is everyones ? its 4.30pm ?? acording to the site, the other thing is in my profile I put location Newcastle and my age but they dont show either ?? any ideas.



Hi Bill, I will take a photo and post it in the morning for you of crossslide nut, mine looks a bit homemade ? it has raised spigot on top and a split that has been pinned with grub screw to take up backlash by moving either side of the split apart ?
Hi Rob, I have been collecting machinery and tools for ages now so have Bridgeport , Boxford shaper, progress 2 pillar drill, Harrison ped grinder and buffer, the Harrison L5 , Harrison graduate wood lathe a Binns & Berry lathe 7 1/2 inch centre height, Clarkson T&C grinder, Startrite vertical bandsaw and Horizontal bandsaw, Mig , Tig. Half the machine tool stuff needs the same as the Harrison ( a good going over to get it operating right ) Next on the to do lists are the Clarkson, needs tee slot table as slots burst out and to get the Bridgeport fettled. I am watching your CNC conversion with great interest, its looking very nice too.
Hi John, I am glad to hear your impressed with the inverter, I watched your screw cutting video on youtube and the reverse looked spot on, I have just seen your latest engine base pattern post there , it looks quality, thats going to be some pour !!
Mick.
