Hi Duncan Try looking on R.S. components for mate&lock. If it helps you can get the pins out we used the special tool but a simple thin wall tube turned up on the lathe works well it should be a good fit on the pin to close the barbs in then pull on the wire. Paul |

Thread: Pressure Turning |
24/03/2021 19:15:53 |
Hi Ron I occasionally use this techneique the trick for me is to use a largish face plate/stub of material in the chuck with a thin rubber sheet 3mm glued on then the work then the pressure plate with a large centre in it of simmilar diameter with a 6 to 9mm thick rubber sheet glued on then the rolving centre. using this set up you can watch the thick rubber swell under load and keep an eye on it while working. Hope this reassures you Paul |

Thread: Stuart 10V Build Log - Complete Beginner... |

My memory is not what it was, the packing used should be 0.7mm or 1/32. Hope fully I have attached the revalent page from the book. |
27/05/2020 08:37:09 |
If my memory serves me correctly (its a long time ago I built mine 40 years) I used a 11mm ballnose cutter and the bearings were a brass extrusion. Andrew Smith in his book suggested using a piece of 16 SWG? sheet wrapped round the curved area and the three jaw chuck. Hope this helps. Paul |
