After six succesful ones, I did it again... What is the way to remove a
M2x4 unslitted grub screw from a locked up brass ring? No EDM yet.

Telescopic bore micrometer?
Mon, 18 Aug 2008 21:24:30 +0100
This is something that has intrigued me for a while, as I'm sure I used them
at college for measuring engine cylinder bores, but have never came across
them since and I'm beginning to question my memory.
They were a micrometer like a Telescopic gauge, but with a micrometer head
being at the end of the handle ...

Taper Mandrels and accuracy
Sun, 17 Aug 2008 23:26:58 +0100
I have dusted off the Stuart 10V castings, dug out the building book and
found Issue 51 of MEW. Time to get started after only four years.
In MEW 51, there is an article about jigs and fixtures by Harold Hall.
He uses the 10V as an example. In it he suggests machining the flywheel
and bearings on a taper mand ...

motor starting and reversing.
Sun, 17 Aug 2008 22:27:44 +0100
I bet this appears twice now. it seems to be in limbo, so reposting...
got cheap on ebay a box with forward reverse stop buttons, but that's all it
is, the box and contactors under the buttons. The start buttons have
push-to-make switches and the stop one has push-to-break.
So... can I make it drive th ...

Progress 1S Pillar Drill ? Jacobs 34 Chuck
Sun, 17 Aug 2008 14:45:49 BST
Our club workshop pillar drill really needs a new chuck. We?ve got a
keyless jobby in mind but need to get the existing chuck off the spindle.
The Progress 1S spindle has a neat slot, right through the spindle, and
just above the chuck. Below that is a round knurled nut that can be
screwed down, presumably to h ...

Turning a small diameter?
Sat, 16 Aug 2008 00:44:15 +0100
Evening all,
I have a need to turn a number of components (probably in aluminium or
brass, it depends what's lying around!).
I need to get one section to a 2mm diameter (prior to bunging a die up
it...).
Now, I can do OK by sneaking up on the thing gently for one or two, but
I have a number to do, and a ...

Angle Grinder Question
Fri, 15 Aug 2008 14:40:40 +0100
Hi,
Hoping someone with some sense can help.
I've being having problems for a long while now with 4 1/2" and 9" angle
grinders that I cannot seem to fix.
The trouble lays with the grinder 'snatching' while using metal cutting
discs. Recently, I had a new 9" disc burst when the grinder suddenly
snatched. Good j ...
