fingerless latex gloves, hoping to start selling them to the masses, who are looking for a new fashion tend to follow.

who am I kidding, its the fingers Im wanting as I cut my little finger tip and its to keep it clean........ using the fingers and gloves gives me 5 covers for my finger, to cut down on the number of gloves used

I've often done that with the red rubber gloves and put a tie band through the tail I've left on the finger . they last a lot longer than the thin ones you are using .

The proper name for such a covering is a finger stool .. which caused much amusement when I told my trainees the name .

I sold them for 40 years in my pharmacy. Now, if you want the stool bit, try finger cots, nurses used them for 'manual evacuation'.... Lovely

Do your burn up with the grate a foot or so above a big steel tub of water .. as it melts and falls though it self cleans to a fair degree .,giving you clean ally globules to re-melt & cast .

If I am melting to cast. I melt in a crucible, then pour from that.

If I am melting the alloy to separate the alloy from other metals. I melt in the pit, over a tray of water. Then the run off is re-melted and cast.

If, like Saturday, it is a cleaning fire, or a salvage melt. I melt the run and larger lumps in the pit. Collect th run off and weigh them in.
The slag, dross and the other recoverable parts are melted in a sieve or similar.

[lchris21]

have you got a rotary broach?

no unfortunately.....just a cut off piece of allen key. Works ok with ali,brass etc. Ok on steel up to certain sizes, and whatever the part i'm trying to make is strong enough to take the forces. Ive done up to 14mm in alloy?

And use a fly press or similar to push it in?

 

[lchris21]

vice for small stuff, hydraulic press for bigger stuff. just leave enough depth for the material being removed and getting it central and going in square is the key
