What did you do today (2015)

[Neil WyattModerator @neilwyatt]

Hi Ray,

> just need to locate a manual for it for reference.

You turn the handle on the side and the top bit goes round – simples!

 

If I can double the value every month, I will be able to retire on it

Rotary table looks very similar to a 6" vertex.

I got an email today suggesting that our coverage of Adepts is causing golbal inflation in their value ;-0

Neil

I sold it for double what I bought it for. :^)

I could of waited longer and maybe the inflation would continue! But there is a nice Wizard lathe I hope to get

Drove the 'Nash for the first time for 4 1/2 years!😃. Why did I take so long to rebuild it?

It does Richard and I have found that manual/pdf on line thanks.

[John Stevenson 1Participant @johnstevenson1]

Be aware there are no spare parts manuals for these table.

Everything inside them is needed…………………………….

Hi Raymond Neil's description was incomplete. He forgot to mention that if you turn the handle the other way the top would go round the other way.

[richardandtracyParticipant @richardandtracy]

Ye gods, gets better & better!

Who would have guessed?

Enjoy – I'm sure you will. Next stop Shelsey Walsh?

Unfortunately I had to sell mine to boost the retirement fund when I took early retirement. Never ceased to regret it.

Today I received the vertical slide for the SC3 and fitted it. So far so good, a couple of trial facing and grooving cuts seem ok. Now saving for a set of engine castings to see me through the winter.

Damn I thought I'd broken it. OR was that I was winding back the clock trying to make it work like a time machine. I believe it should have More locks.

Darn I was wondering if the manual showed servicing etc. I found an oil nipple on the rim today now just need to know type grade of oil etc. Might just use the Myford or 4×4 20W50 I have.

[Ian S CParticipant @iansc]

I just use SAE – 30 in my 6" Vertex, because it's what's in the oil can.

Just had a play with Google's online calculator.

It makes a very creditable job of parsing plain English into mathematical expressions.

Including a few parentheses does obviously help … but I was very impressed when I put this into the Google search line:

cube root of ((four pi over three) times ((half twenty five) cubed)

I use it often for converting mm to thou' and other units as well.

Hey Andy – I think when you rebuilt it you put the steering wheel on the wrong side!

Oh – wait. this is a UK forum….

Nice little machine – looks like fun.

[Ian S CParticipant @iansc]

When I fist saw Nash mentioned, I thought of Nash Rambler, rather than Frazer Nash.

When I had that American article about steel heat treatment, how do you think I worked out all the temperatures in centigrade? Still a killer task…

Strange … two responses, and neither has commented upon what I thought was the interesting feature.
