Whittlesea Men's Shed have a 3phase German built Altendorf sliding table saw which they wish to dispose of.
I am posting this on their behalf.
As can be seen from the photos there is a lot of very...

not wishing to hijack this thread, but if I can ask keith (verawood) to post or send me pics of his guide adjustments, I hopefully could incorporate it into my Sherwood BS (or at least get an idea)...

Hello all,
I recently purchased a 14" deep cut Sherwood bandsaw from Timbercon in Melbourne, I bought it as it was advertised as handling blades 6mm to 25mm and with a 14" depth of cut, I thought it...

I'll take them and what has the price dropped to? and I can pick up.

I'll take 4 x 1.2 if still available and you can post to Melbourne

G'day folks,
just saw this pop up in my inbox (no pun intended) and it just so happens I am making a saw till myself, so I thought you may be interested. The basic format is like most others but I...

I would like any or all of them but my budget dictates I can afford single $85 dollar unit plus postsge. Thanks Eric

I set them to daily, but I'll double check that, however it has been more than a week since I set them.
I was hoping that an administrator could check that they are not going to my old email address.

No, I check the junk/spam boxes and nothing there.
cheers...

Hi,
I subscribed to a couple of threads but have not seen any notifications come through, I checked my email address and that is correct, I sent myself a couple of pm's and they arrived OK but no...

Is this still available? I would be interested if it is.

Cheers..

Thanks again Andrew, I will print them out and pin them up next to the lathe.

Next I'll make a dividing head, buy an involute cutter and make some gears, should be fun.

Thanks to you and others...

Many thanks Andrew, I finally got it. I kept reading BIII as a product not a ratio, when I finally realised I should read it not as B*III but as B/III etc. then it all fell into place for me. Just...

oops, sorry double up on this post - eric

Thanks again Andrew, everything you have written makes sense to me except for the part where you derived the original ratios, I cannot get that straight...

Thanks again Andrew, everything you have written makes sense to me except for the part where you derived the original ratios, I cannot get that straight in my head, sorry.

the ratio's I/II to A/C...

Hello again everyone, I have been reading my manual on the lathe and physically checking the gears and now I can at least understand the manual.

the drive train from the spindle to the LS is.....

Thanks very much Andrew, that was quick, you are obviously good with spreadsheets.

Still trying to get my head around the ratio's you provided and how each ratio is chosen as I can't 'see' the...

Thanks for all the feedback from everyone, I was indeed expecting to need other gears to what I have, which is why I want to learn all about calculating pitches etc. ( think a 66 tooth gear may be...

Thanks for the spreadsheet mahgnia,

I can move the 30/100 gears as they are designed to be easily removed from the banjo.

I have all the gears as listed in the chart

I'm still confused about...

Thanks for the replies folks,

Andrew, that chart is what I would like to learn to do for myself, do you have the calculations you used?
Also (me being a totally ignorant noob) I do not...

Ah yes, I forgot to mention leadscrew pitch, it is 2mm.

What I'm after is the maths involved on how to determine thread pitches not listed, or even how the ones listed are derived at from the...

Hello Metalworkers,

I would like to cut some threads on my lathe and while I can follow the charts provided to cut standard metric thread pitches I would like to cut ones that are not listed,...

FYI

I went to GAMECO in Preston (after returning the BOC supplied hose) and they happily and quickly made a 3m hose with 2 RH 3/8 BSP threads for me and cheaper than the 2m BOC one.

One...

Thanks for the reply Gents,

I will try GAMECO in Preston to see if they can make one up for me, I will try some of the camping places as well.

Nev, that website is one I haven't heard about...

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know the thread size on an LPG gas torch?

What I want is a gas hose that goes 3/8 BSP to 3/8 BSP, but BOC sold me a hose that has 3/8 BSP one end and a thread that...

Thanks for the offer, I'm in the North East, specifically Mill Park. (used to live in Kilsyth and still miss it)

Which area are you?

Eric

thanks Bob, I feel somewhat more confident now about trying other inserts, I don't want to buy junk, but I also don't want to go overboard for what is just a beginners retirement hobby

Eric

Thanks for the responses, here is my toolholder set (hope you can see it, as I cannot when submitted)

As you can see it is very basic, and I haven't even used the right hand tool as yet...

Hi just saw your thread,

I built one of these for my mill using the TI launchpad, I also bought glass scales direct from DITRON in china and have installed everything and am quite thrilled with...

Hi Guys,
about year or so ago I bought a Weiss WM250VF lathe and with it I bought a set of lathe tools which cost about $160 and they use TCMT110204 inserts. (probably real cheap stuff, but I...

Thanks for the feedback everyone,

I will be ringing around each of those companies to see what they offer.

I am just learning this game myself so prefer to learn the hard way by doing it...

Hi,

I have a small project underway to fit a new QCTP to my lathe, where I need some 120 x 15mm (approx) flat bar about 300mm length, all I have managed to obtain in Melbourne is flat black hot...

Thanks for all the very prompt responses fellas, couple of good suggestions in there I hadn't thought of. I'll scour ebay for something.

To azzrock, I'm in the north east, Mill Park to be...

Hello all,

I'm just getting into some metalwork lately, and would like to learn by doing some small projetcs in various metals, such as brass, freemachining steel. Aluminium seems less of a...
