yes, whole wall is to be packed 10mm on that side.

Two good suggestions rwbuild, I'm going to use them both, replace the split jamb, on the offset side, with one 10mm wider.

Has anyone successfully made a Hume cavity door unit wider ?

I have a cavity door unit that for a 90mm stud wall, but I need it for a 100mm stud width.

Wall that I'm putting under a RSJ has to...

thanks for replying rwbiuld

So this is either a bad idea or nobody has a clue what I'm talking about.

I'm adding some walls in a large underfloor area at my sons house, which requires me to box in a 180 x 100 (approx.) RSJ with Plasterboard.


I'm thinking I'll attach suitable sized pine strips,...

Thanks guys, some good suggestions, I'll try the Pipe idea first , then progress to cutting the nails if needed.
Will definitely be using Self drilling roofing teks when re fitting the roof sheets.

I need to remove some trimclad roofing sheets on my garage, to gain access to the trusses for a carport extension, this roof has been in place for a number of years and is fastened with old style Gal...

the my pump is actually a fountain pump bought from bunnings, the aerator is a faulty unit (oxegenator)from a spa

the ultracut sounds like the go, but for it to be cost effective It would need to...

Bumpity bump

Thanx Franco,
thats very similiar to the one I had in mind.

thanx guys, certianly something to think about.

If I recall the one I was refering too in my first post, used HSS section as opposed to the boring bars ??

yes thats what I'm after.

pretty complex design though, reckon I'd struggle with the indexing etx and numbering.

anyone had a go at making a boring attachment (sorry correct name escapes me atm) for boring large holes (larger than common drill sizes anyway) in a mill / drill.

I came a cross a detailed...

I guess my tank would be about 15 ltr ( it feeds to both the lathe and the mill), goes to show how much I use either machine and or coolant.
Although I tend to only use the soluble Oil for ferrous...

my question was more out of interest in what other ppl are using and any benifets if any and any cost advantage

thanx Retro, some good info there for me to follow up on.

just as a mtter of interest what does the Rocol stuff cost you ?

anyone heard or using a product called "greencut", seem a reference...

have'nt heard of cimcool, but will look in to it.

I've been using soluble Oil ( @ 15:1 IIRC) as a coolant on the lathe for a while now, but its almost due for a change, (starting to get a bit dirty). Curious to hear what others are using.

anyone...

one more pic, just tp prove it works

10mm eyebolts (that where'nt fitted when that photo was take) located at the front and centre, for securing the bike while on the lifter.



yes does make things a bit easier, although it never...

I think Neksmerj's originall estimate was around 30-40 hrs but it was closer to 48 hrs and around $260 in materials, with out the Jack and the ply for the top.

yes I'm pretty pleased with myself...

well my project is finally complete thanks again to ken for his time and guidance, I have made a few minor changes to your drawing, but nothing to drastic.

yes thanks Ken, for your time and considerable effort with the Plans, Will post some pics when I get it finished

yes the plans I have are for the one in my post on page 1, and yes unfortunaltey they are copyright

well I may not be as old as you, but I'm older than my son (20) and he reckons I'm old :o as for the hack you havent seen me at work have you :C

As mentioned in my previous post I have been able...

I have been able to get plans for a lifter that looks very similiar to the one in your pic, but it designed to lift heavy bikes.

Base is made of 50mm angle and supports are 50mm RHS, which is way...

if you have a look at the chart above, you'll notice that is actually faster, 45 m/min as a opposed to 30m/min for mild steel.

I have managed to get hold of some plans for my bike lift table as per my previous thread.

depends on Material and size of the drill

this should help

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb264/mudratsbucket/CuttingSpeed.jpg

that exactly what I'm after either hydraulic , pneumatic or a combination of both.

thanks for that should help greatly, just need to figure out pivot locate and length now

I was thinking of putting the design on a diet, but not to sure how light to go ?. was thinking some thing like 30x30x3 RHS and 30x30x3 angle ?

my bike is a featherwieght (250kg) compared to some...

thanx for the link, will sent them an email and see what the plans are worth $AUD.

most of the one available to buy are around $350-400, but some of them dont look that strong, the one in the...

yes please.

anyone had a go at building one of these or know where I can get plans to built one.

thanx Guys, I made up bending jig today.

I actually thought of using the Welder to bend it, ie runa good weld along the outer edge of the bend, then bend while hot, gring off weld when cool.
its a bit rough but a welder I have, oxy I...

I need to bend some 10mm round bar for a project I'm working on.
a couple of the bends are large dia. (50mm) and can be done cold, but some are right angle bends and will require heating to get a a...

yes, a stronger aerator would work, mine has'nt a strong enough air stream to break the surface, hence the tramp oil forms a skin.

as mentioned above I have read that by aerating the coolant tank, you can stop you coolant going off ( turning into an alien life form).

for the last 12mnth or so I have been using a fish tank...

I am reffering to marking blue use as a medium for marking out jobs prior to machining, think the copper sulphate would seve the same purpose but is a :C to remove.

If my memory serves me...

thanx ppl

anyone know of a where I can get Marking Blue ?

Or is there a alternative that doesnt wash off with coolant like marking pen does.

I have a couple of jobs coming up where I need small lengths (about 100mm) of both 30mm Brass and stainless steel.
problem is to buy either of these you need to buy by the mtr.
any ideas where I...

I was told by Hare & Forbes to use Valvoline Ultramax 46 in my AL320G when I bought it. :? :? :?

beautiful, just what I was after :2tsup:

anyone know where i can find information on the mass per kg on different metals ?
would like to find the difference in mass between Bronze/Brass and Stainless steel

thanx for the excellent feedback.

I have decided to make the spacers out of solid 316 for a number of reasons

1 its easier than machining the wear ring abd getting the "fit"

2 the extra...

thanx for the feedback the spacers are rear axle spacers on an enduro bike.
the grit etc gets under the lip of the seal and gouges the aluminium, hence the need for a wear ring. they are approx 30mm...
