That does sound a shame...but I also know the feeling when you realise you'll never get round to it and it'll just be a millstone round your neck....

Is the mechanics sound? And the motors and the screws? Could it be worth just putting modern CNC controllers on instead of scrapping...

[Cenedd]

Cheers. I suspect they'll do ok as I don't do very much grinding. Some of that may have been because the grinder was very awkward to get to previuosly...

[Cenedd]

Interesting idea. You mean on the inside wall where the grinding debris hits the bend?...

Nice Redlee.

Does it count as machining if I didn't hand-crank a machine myself?!

I personally wouldn't consider that clog at all - but there's definitely an argument that it deserves its own thread. You make the assumption that it's...

Bented Ah, I see, cheers. I try hard not to need my steady as it's a pain to mount. Still haven't got round to finishing the roller fingers...

The Metal Butcher A two-part axel with machined areas for bearings?
Infrared thermometers lie like sin on a lot of things....at least the ones...

Bruno Mueller If I can learn something from junk parts I will very quickly be the most knowledgeable machinist there is! A well-made tool is a joy...

Definitely a finer thread would have helped. I think a Starrett 98 level is 0.5mm/meter (a search says 0.42mm/m but I could have sworn it used to say...

[Cenedd]

Nice. I reckon my 9 yo would be really excited to do that.....and then want to go indoors when it was cold and not as comfortable as his bed. I can't...

Don't know what you mean Tungsten. Mine headstock certainly isn't littered with anything and everything I wanted to put down and has definitely...

I left them a while back Baz....and not on very good terms (from my side at least). They kept ramping the price up and were vastly more expensive to...

Today I finally got to take down my temporary internet connection. My line died and through a constant comedy of errors the provider could not be booked...
