I have noticed some confusion lately on this forum as to how to correctly produce a "Pressure tight Joint" using tapered threads :C

BSPF and BSPP are just two designations for the same thread, there are others as well.

That's not how BSPT dies are designed to be used Rob. There are BSPF Dies for that.

Yes Rob, I know that mains water pressure can be over 100psi, what I was questioning was your statement about
non tapered threads.(see Bold Text) Every water pipe joint that I have ever seen,...

Are you sure about this Rob?

Nothing weird about the parting tool or it's holder really, it is a tangential type that was common in the 1960's and 70's before the modern style of inserts came along.

Vertex have these toolholders, I use one of the smaller sizes on my Hercus Compulathe, but they are not $50.00 each even for the small sizes.

It looks like a Dickson style, probably made by Algra, in Italy I think.

There was a Centre Lapping Machine like this in RMIT's machine shop when I was doing my apprenticeship, it was used to true up and shift centres after hardening and before grinding.
I worked in the...

I also had "Taper Micrometer" set up as an Ebay search and when this one came up in Australia I was quite surprised.
I had a feeling that I was probably bidding against someone on this forum, nice...

Bob, the LED tubes that Evanism is using are the 6500k variety, you stated in another thread that were using the 4000k type so they may not be much different to the standard fluoro's you had.

I picked up 18 LED tubes from AEG Electrical yesterday and started fitting them into one of the 9 light fittings in the shed tonight. The results so far are looking very promising with the power...

For the direction of positive travel to be technically correct apply the "Right Hand Rule". A quick search will find lots of information on this.

Nice repair Phil, is the spindle from a Zenford Zeigler v.m.c?

Thanks Fred, I did read and follow the instructions, are you saying that the pictures are not showing in my last post?

OK, thanks guys, I will try again following the instructions on the forum home page.

Would someone confirm that the 3 pictures are there now please.

Don't give away trade secrets RC.http://d1r5wj36adg1sk.cloudfront.net/images/smilies/standard/wink.gif

Thanks Kryn, I have had this problem before, what am I doing wrong? The pictures did show when I previewed before posting.

I needed some 1/4" BSF screws for the fence on the Eclipse magnetic chuck on my surface grinder and, although they are still available from some hardware suppliers like Keables, I decided to make my...

Does the machine have power connected Mike? If so, and if it can be run in reverse, I can suggest a method that will probably undo the chuck although the method is a bit primative.

If I am interpreting your figures correctly the angle to offset the compound slide is .71616 degrees.

Looking at your setup in the first picture again I would say it is more likely that you would...

You are not alone there Clive, but it is good to see that you sorted it out.http://d1r5wj36adg1sk.cloudfront.net/images/smilies/actions/2thumbsup.gif

So how could it cut the correct pitch with the gear train set up incorrectly even if you did not disengage the half nuts?

Using a test bar is not necessarily the best method to align the headstock, Colchester recommend using the "Two Collar Method" with their adjustable headstock models, after removing any twist from...

I just checked a pack of Romak M10 high tensile nuts and bolts from Bunnings and both the nut and bolt head are 17mm A/F.
These come in small plastic packs and are quite good quality although these...

Bollie, your situation is amazingly similar to mine in one of the Victorian TAFE's, including being told that I was no longer required after the closure of my department last year and then being...

What type of machine will you attempt to flycut these pieces on Greg?

The motor appears to be "Star" only despite what is written on the name plate. The switch may have NO/NC and common terminals.

I just tried this on a Magnabend and found that it can be done although it is not ideal and the longer the length of bend the more difficult it becomes. I substituted the standard 16mm thick clamp...

What did you do regarding rust prevention Phil?

I was also wondering about the power output. This thread has been a little confusing from the start, in my opinion.

[QUOTE=Steamwhisperer;1874783]Hi Techo
the only problem is that the whole assembly including the black knob on the right hand side moves when the lever is pulled as far as it will go


Yes, I...

It's a bit hard to tell exactly how it works from the section drawing but it may be designed self ejecting when the lever is pulled all the way. If the centre has been in there a while it may require...

Was it working properly before you transported it home? If it was, and the scale did not get damaged in transport, you could try a factory reset as described in the manual. Apart from that, check...

I wonder if these machines were actually built "under licence" to Craven and displayed the Craven name or, as mentioned in the article, just based on the design.

If the perspex is in fact very very old, all I can say is, "Good Luck". I would not expect any type of solvent or soap to remove it cleanly without a lot of work by hand using some sort of scraper...

Do you have a link to this Mark?

I will be there this afternoon.

I thought the same when this was first posted but after seeing the last photo I doubt that is the case. I have seen some self locking nuts with three round indentations directly on the flat of the...

It could have more to do with the Lathe rather than the tool geometry, what type of machine are you using?

[QUOTE=cba_melbourne;1866593]... increased speeds in reverse..... http://www.lathes.co.uk/boley5lz/

That's what I suspected and the reason why it is harder to start in reverse.

What type of Lathe are we talking about here? Is this the original motor? If not, what size was the original motor?

Eucalyptus Oil and a bit of elbow grease.
