Given your location, Paul ... it might be worth having a chat with Bede Tools : **LINK**

http://www.bedetools.com/page2.html

I have never dealt with them, but do look at the site occasionally.

Here’s an amazing graphic from Reuters : **LINK**

At a wild guess ... Eric may have something like this: **LINK**

That does appear to be true of ‘most trains’ Jason ... but Eric was quite specific :

“ ... which will end up being an armature pinion on a Hornby O gauge Locomotive.”

I know very little about Hornby O gauge Locomotives ... but must assume that at least one model used spur gears [unless Eric is building a special]

Sorry, John ... Brain-fade on my part

Must pay more attention !

I will check 8 teeth

A quick check on ‘Easy Gear’ suggests that no perceptible undercut is needed for 10 teeth at 0.5MOD

Frustrating as it is, Derek ... that should be just a simple rewire job.

Let’s hope the previous owner was a better mechanic than electrician !

... Fortunately it does look that way.

Silly me

Keith,

I hope you will forgive me the impudence of adding a footnote [*] to your excellent advice.

... especially as I am straying from the specifics of this thread.

[*] Although unsuitable for the materials under discussion; Borax is widely and successfully used when Silver-Soldering Silver.

There's no 'magic touch' involved, Dave

As I wrote earlier "[it's usually just a matter of knowing/remembering where to look]"

I remembered copper.org from previous visits, and just put 'lead solder' into their search box

A few seconds skimming that document confirmed that it contained the words and pictures I was looking-for.

MichaelG.

No problem, Bill ... You're welcome

[it's usually just a matter of knowing/remembering where to look]

Here's some background reading, courtesy of copper.org [the obvious first point of reference] :

If, for whatever reason, it is impractical to use any system of alignment ...

When working ‘freehand’ with a small tap, I clamp the plain shank of the tap in the pin-vice, instead of using the square: This provides some ‘safety’ by slipping before the tap breaks.

Thanks for the update, Danny

What Australia is going through is almost unimaginable.

P.S. ... Hoping that this is acceptable as informed [rather than political] comment:

Interesting to see that cdkeys appears to have changed tack since this review: **LINK**

As their name would suggest. game cd keys are the main source of business for cdkeys.com. However, they also trade in various gift cards and top-ups. Many of cdkey.com’s competing websites like Kinguin and G2A also sell various software keys, such as Windows keys and Antivirus keys. However, cdkeys is still almost entirely focused on their specific niche – video game cd keys. They don’t sell in-game currencies, virtual skins, Windows keys, or anything of the sort. Cdkeys has its niche, and it’s sticking to it.

It’s of no relevance to me ... but thanks for your clarification

... That would be the safer option anyway; particularly on 18th Century Brass

[ there was another recent thread here, on that very topic ]
