Thread: WHERE ARE THE SHAPER USERS ? |
26/09/2016 11:37:10 |
I wouldn't be without my Boxford 8inch shaper. Will have to be prised from my cold dead hands. I have used it a lot for cutting dovetails, and cutting internal keyway slots in gears etc, and the finish on flat surfaces is can look almost as if it has been ground. |
Thread: Who sells horizontal arbor milling cutters? |
17/08/2016 18:02:31 |
Try gandmtools - bought lots of various sizes from them for my Senior horizontal mill. |
Thread: Drain Cock with handles needed - any ideas? |
19/07/2016 08:44:11 |
Made the drain cocks and water gauge cocks for my Atkinson lorry using JasonB's method and was well pleased with how well they works - go for it. |

John, Yes,the £15k was for the TS version. When I bought my ME10 it cost I think £1300 or so, but the add on even more. Got all the receipts somewhere for the Cabinet base, Vertical slide, taper turning attachment, metric change wheels, collets etc etc. nearly £3000. Barry Just found the price list from 2011 330TR (Toolroom Lathe) £14,750 + Vat Edited By Saxalby on 03/07/2015 20:19:41 |

Suffolk Dredging Tractor for sale at "stationroadsteam.com" |
Thread: Line Boring (demo) |
27/06/2015 09:17:42 |
I agree with Paul - far to longwinded video's. I have used multicore solder coiled round the boring bar. One or two layers depending on space available - works just fine. |
Thread: 6 BA hexagon headed screws |
23/06/2015 16:16:08 |
Geoff, Hope you get what you need from the supplier you mentioned. If not, another possibility is Clerkenwell Screws. They used to stock lots of BA bolts.

Thread: Stuart V10 Cylinder Casting |
30/05/2015 18:56:32 |
One method I have used with success is a hollow drill. Take a piece of silver steel of suitable size drill it out to the thread clearance size and file / machine a couple of cutting edges. (Like a hollow end mill really) Harden and temper the end. Then carefully and slowly drill out around the broken tap. Then plug hole as above. Cant remember if I read about the method here or some other forum

Hi Naughtyboy, I have 3C collets for my Boxford, and as Jason has said, the Southbend and the Boxford use a 3MT to 3C adaptor which goes in the spindle. There are some US companys that still make these adaptors. But easy enough to make. If you want i can give the dimensions etc of mine. Regards Barry |
Thread: How many is too many? |

Yes the 14 coupled Russian Andreev loco. Maybe do one in 7 1/4 gauge. Anyone know of a club with a long straight track? |

17/05/2015 11:13:58 |
