Some preliminary tests for a two spindle CNC
Sat, 06 Sep 2008 05:40:44 GMT
Over in the RCM group I asked about the feasbility of using a master
slave relationship in a CNC lathe so a part could be machined on one
end and then switched from one chuck to another while spinning so the
back half of the part could be machined. Below is the post I made to
RCM with the first test results.

100 cost me 11.46.
Also got too way many m8x 35 hex-head (normal bolts, not for "allen"
wrenches) in stainless. Part-ba ...

Ground steel discs
Fri, 05 Sep 2008 00:48:26 +0000
Any ideas as to where I might source a quantity of such things, around
50mm diameter. Washers would do - the only requirement is that they're
flat and probably not more than around 5mm thick.
Regards,

Are SCLCR boring bars hardened
Thu, 4 Sep 2008 14:19:33 +0100
I have a Glanze 16mm SCLCR boring bar that I need to shorten and slightly
reduce the diameter at the non-business end so that I can fit it into my
boring head (I couldn't find 5/8" bars anywhere). Before I destroy any
tooling, anyone know if these are hardened? OK, I could try the file test
but I thought I wou ...

Lead, "Dead Blow" Hammer
Thu, 4 Sep 2008 01:38:56 -0700 (PDT)
My cheap "forged steel shaft" claw hammer decided to break yesterday
when trying to remove a smallish :-) nail. It left me with a
"cushioned grip" handle which I thought I might use to make a lead
"dead blow" hammer. Is it worthwhile these days or do those plastic
and lead shot things you can get for tuppence work ...
