its the church actually

They say if i dont buy within a month they will assume i dont want to and then put it on the open market

next question...... Why would some company want to buy it ?

Surely not for the privilidge of invoicing me for £6 every year

This cant go up for 800~+ years

Theres no covenents saying I have to ask to do anything to the said house

Its in a conservation area so not much scope fro extending

Hmm

my opinion was much as Duncans

they can’t increase GR

they cant impose any new terms which have been zero in the last 31 years re maintenance or extension building

so if I spend another 20 years here I’m into £ 120 for the gr in that time scale rather than £3.5k with legal fees

Out of the blue a letter has arrived from my freeholder  suggesting that they want to sell the freehold.

they quote a total price of £2500

plus my legal fees presumably.

My ground rent is £6.20 and it has 840 years left

Is it worth me buying it?

it may be a problem up to a shoulder but the ramp down is a product of the frequency set so at 10hz the motor will ramp down quicker than at 50hz

however you can set the ramp down to 0% or wire in a quick stop button for use whilst thread cutting and use the usuall ramp down (stop) button for normal work

perhaps i didnt make clear

if heres something you want rid of leave it on the pavement and it will be picked up in short time by scrap collectors

This has happened in sheffield for many years im sure also in most northern citys

Having said that Rainbows attempted to hide his prize and it still went

You should have a 21 tooth to replace the 42 tooth one

as set you can do the bottom row of threads on the chart ( the coarsest ones)

Oh dear Rainbows

I wouldnt leave anything outside that i wanted

I leave any scrap outside and its usually gone within the day

saves me taking to the scrap yard

In a single word no

your lens is there for a very high magnification in its original use

depth of field is as you say limited

in its original use that’s not important as the micro Fitch is planer

you can adjust the aperture by an iris or stop but this will only increase dof by a small amount at the magnifications your lens has. And then you need lots more light on your subject.

I made a similar item and built it out of 50x50 x 5mm

wouldnt have wanted any less to make a rigid structure

photos in my albums

Leatherwork?

SOD

One of them is antimony used in metal type metal to make sure letters are crisp

Bill

surely IR ( infra Red)

Its when the seller gets friends or acquaintances to bid on their auctions to drive the price up

Not done it yet

its only changed in the last few days

you used to be able to click on bidders in an auction and see what categories and sellers they had been bidding with therefore knowing that perhaps shilling was going on

I think you are meaning that bidders full names have been hidden that was a few years ago

Has anyone else noticed that you now cant check other bidders who are bidding on auctions to see if you are being shilled.?

+1 for me too

Well as i said it stays where its put

its sprung and counterbalanced if you knock it it moves but it swings every which way and lifts up or down and stays where you want it

I think this one was Very expensive new designed for a large heavy monitor on a desk

This my scope mounted on a monitor stand clamped to the ceiling joists its easily moved to wherever i need it

as i recall this was <£20 on eBay and stays where its put

This scope has a working distance of 7 inches from the ring light and fills the frame with my fingernail

I use a Zeiss operating theatre stereo microscope in my workshop mounted on a boom for the small things i do

it works great

I think that using a digital device means looking at a screen rather than live at your work /tool interface and there always seems to be latency problems with electronics

Well i would clamp it together and assuming that the parts fit well together drill and bolt it with about 4 m8 or m10 bolts if you can get them in

use it and look for another machine to use for parts

i weld cast iron regualrly but thats a difficult one would need machining the dovetail after welding
