I would suggest that you make up the boring bar which George Thomas detailed in his Model Engineers Workshop Manual. Again, I would not split the bores but would fit cottars as detailed as an alternative by Chaddock. I am going to make Georges bar. Mine- is now unused and probably rusting! Sorry to hear about all the rust. Cheers Nelson Collar Norman --- End quote --- |

Thanks to all that commented. I've looked at them for years and a opportunely came up and I could not pass it up. Some times the labor is not a big concern. To reply to a couple of the comments: Norman I plan to make it like JW Early built his. Boring bar and all and yes I plan to use brass cotters on all adjustment points. Thanks Andrew I have seen many go for far less than what it should be worth. That is what stopped me for years. The cost of casting and metal plus all that time making it would put a price tag much higher because you spend very close to $500.00 US dollars before the machine sharpens anything. And again you have all the stones that could go into another $500.00 dollars US. Quorn, I know the story I just put it there for pronounciation of it. Thank you I do not have any intention to sell it after I finish with it and I have informed my wife what I think it is worth. I think the informed make better deals at time to get rid of husbands toys after going home. Merry CHRISTmas, All Nelson Collar |
