Hello all

Has anybody got a copy of stuart's Sun drawings that they could copy or sell me?

I've spoke to stuart's at Doncaster show and they do not have copy's of the plans, which I thought a little odd. but hey ho

also did a search on the internet and can only get some grainy images.

So I'm appealing to you, If anybody can help that would be great.

It was a politicians son or daughter that died due to shoddy electrical work carried out by a builder that brought about PART P. Which in my opinion is a good thing, but would be better if it was ENFORCED, and not just a money making scam for the powers that be, and jobs for the boys.

i put 2 10mm steel plates under mine and bolted the lathe through the drip tray,plates & bench

any one know what this is for? obviously its for drilling holes but in what? the actual cutting part is tapered which leads me to believe it may be for cutting plugs of some sort, in the centre is a solid plug with a square pointed pin presumably to start off the hole , then when started the plug with pin can be removed.

i've a sneaky feeling this may be a medical item due to the material its made from as you can see apart from the cutters it's in very good shape despite it being stored in a damp hut for probably decades.

Thank you Clive I will go and measure my bolt spacing

Hello all

I've just got round to installing my new super major milling machine (I had it delivered last dec). A few small problems with it but I have got them all sorted apart from the nod. I've got +0.09mm on the inboard side and -0.08mm on the outside over a 100mm radius. The X axis is now bob on. Question is how do you calculate the size of the shims I need to put under the column? I know I will still have to measure it after but it would be better if I had a ball park figure to start with.

Thanks all in advance

this is how I've stored my files. I just used 1 1/4" waste pipe cut to 3 different lengths, stick together with expanding foam and cobble together a box to go round it.

Hello All

I'm looking at buying a new smaller mill and i've noticed that in the specs form all the usual suppliers that there is no lock on the Z axis, there is on the quills, but not on the head itself. why is this? your thoughts please.

thanks in advance for all your replys
