I'm in Bother (Again) - Rivets this time
Sat, 24 Oct 2009 10:43:42 +0100
I told my dad I'd track down some rivets for his current restoration
project. I'm in bother a) because I haven't and b) because I forgot all
about it.
He's after some steel rivets which are countersunk head in steel, 3/4
overall length with a pin diameter of 1/8th. I've found flat heads and dome
heads but ...

Selling my Clark Plasma King 50 plasma cutter if anyone is interested
Sat, 24 Oct 2009 10:15:47 +0100
Clark Plasma King 50 plasma cutter, bit heavy! for model engineering,
but maybe you are interested. Would be a good way to rough out frames etc.
I bought it to restore a 50's van to make the work a little easier so
it's been used very little. Can cut through 10mm steel!
See the spec and current prices here: ...

Aciera F4 horizontal head
Sat, 24 Oct 2009 01:15:45 -0700 (PDT)
I've acquired an Aciera F4 milling machine, which is a beautiful piece
of kit and just what I wanted, but it doesn't have a horizontal head
with it. I'd very much like one, so is anyone able to suggest where I
might find one? ...

Old Bearing Cross References
Thu, 22 Oct 2009 06:31:45 -0700 (PDT)
Can anyone point me to a source of ball & roller bearing cross
references? They must be online somewhere but it's beaten me.
I've got some old specs and want to know the modern part number. The
one that's really foxed me is NJ55
Thanks

Metallurgy Q
Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:38:16 +0100
Cross post from UK.D-I-Y
Hi all
Something cropped up at work that is not altogether obvious!
Looking at steel for keys - the type of keys that fit in shafts and drive
sprockets (rather than doors).
The material specified for my application is an American designation 1018,
which appears to be pretty low gra ...

CVA Oiling....
Wed, 21 Oct 2009 14:22:58 -0700 (PDT)
Evening all,
Ive go some oil for my CVA, but I cant find the filler!
I had a look at John Stevenson's this afternoon, and on the apron
there is a nice little bung,
helpfully marked 'oil'
No such bung on mine, and the manual thinks it should be there as
well....
There is a large circular panel just above and rig ...

Prescription Safety Glasses vs Prescription Sports Glasses
Tue, 20 Oct 2009 19:55:20 +0100
Anyone know what the difference is between the safety ratings on these
(apart from ASTM F803 and ANSI Z87.1 nomenclature) ?
Are the lenses tested differently, perhaps ballistic testing for
industrial safety specs against a lower standard for sports safety
specs, or is it just the extra ingress protection and s ...

Propellant Rocket Engineering book

Sorry to bother you guys here but Parish's 45 pager on Liquid
Propellant Rocket Engineering is back on ebay, this time starting at
0.99c. That's eBay-OZ but should be visible (and an easy air-mail) to
US or UK. We are talking 1954 but there maybe a few nuggets in there.
(I wouldn't know one if it bit me on the ars ...

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 21:39:39 +0100
I have a Keetona manual circle shear by Keetons and was wondering if
anyone had information about what it is capable of shearing. I have put
up a picture here http://www.metal-arts.co.uk/temp/circleshear2.jpg ,
about 160kb. I have spoken to someone at Keetons already and all they
told me was that they hadn't m ...
