ME Magazine 4332
Sun, 10 Aug 2008 14:32:34 +0100
Hi all,
Just started reading through my latest copy of ME received through the post
yesterday. Mine looks as though there are a number of pages missing, as it
jumps from some adverts (p.186) straight to what I guess is the second part
of the postbag page (p.191). Corresponding pages are obviously missing fr ...

New workshop - dodgy garage floor - advice sought
Sat, 9 Aug 2008 18:02:13 +0100
I am setting up a new workshop in my garage.
I need to address the state of the floor, before investing my hard earned
cash in machinery
It is 40+ year old concrete, which is dry and dusty in some areas, but with
some very significant damp patches.
I suspect it was laid without any damp proofing.
I have done s ...

Metric Tap and Die Sets
Thu, 7 Aug 2008 22:36:57 +0100
I'd like to get a tap and die set going from M3 say to M6 or M8 for
*occassional use* cuttting mild steel.
I don't want it just for cleaning and rethreading.
I just want something that is not basically ?rap! But how much can I get
something for? Can it be done for say ¡ê20?
What are the manufacturers names ...

Cutting 3mm thick 200mm dia extruded acrylic tube
Thu, 7 Aug 2008 19:26:45 +0100
I'm not a model engineer.
I have a 150mm long, 3mm thick-wall, 200mm dia extruded acrylic tube.
I want to cut out of it 3 pieces 15mm long.
I don't think I have much option than marking it out as best I can and
using a hand/hacksaw.
Unless anyone knows of a more ingenious way that I could knock-up.

Anyone near Chalfont St Peter?

Just curious to know if anyone on here is in my neck of the woods. Always
nice to have a potter around other people's workshops or swap stories.

Anyone know where I can get a frame 56 (or smaller) 0.37 kW dual voltage
three-phase motor, pref 2800 rpm, for use with an inverter?
The frame 56 bit is the hard part.
Thanks,

Motor starters for small home machinery
06 Aug 2008 19:40:41 +0100 (BST)
The very ancient MEM "Startet" start-stop button on my mill has finally
worn out. It controls an ancient GEC single phase 1/4 hp capacitor
start motor. While I have designed motor control gear before, I didn't
look particularly at the prices of the contactors, overcurrent trips,
start stop buttons and cabinets!
