Sorting the digitals

Drilled out a 1.6mm tig collet and body for 2mm. I bought a pair of 2mm tungstens with the tig but nowhere sells collets and none in the consumable box.

Also measured the collet threads, 9.24mm and 0.8mm pitch. Is this some silly american imperial standard? 17/26 torch.

3/8 UNEF, I THINK 32 tpi

I think you will find we Brits came up with it and then the French ******** it up.

Yup tis the 125 .
60mm severance according to the manual , that's why I got it as 50mm is a common enough thickness to be dealing with . I need a bigger receiver on the compressor though , it needs time to catch up haha .

 

[Munkul]

Blimey. That's some beast.

 

[mtt.tr]

Holy moly

Daft job this morning, "can you make me one of these mate?"

Course I can, so 20 minute later we have this, stainless steel of course, for a cot apparently.

Did you bend the ring? Looks very neat

 

[Paul.]

yep, warmed it up and pulled it round a bit of 25mm bar

Today was varied.
First off I skimmed some hauler plates.

Next up I made 9x lobster gauges, only had 2 people wanting 2 each but decided just to make what I could get out the material which was 9. As the day went on other people came in and saw them and I only have 2 left now

I then took delivery of some stainless tube and rounds and stainless housed bearings for the next two Cheetah Cats that I will be fitting out, one arrives December(ish)

Got the 230mm dia x 16 thick bits faced off in the lathe and then bored out to 50mm dia for the shafts.

Chopped up some 50mm dia stainless and welded them in, only got two done, the other two will be tomorrow.

Also labeled my Tig consumables drawers.

And made an Alu holder for the manuals for the welder etc for the van.

 

[Brad93]

Lobster gauge?

 

[Hood]

Lobster gauge?

Yes, 87mm exact, or as exact as I managed to measure
They are used to measure the carapace of the lobster to see if they are legal size or not.
Like this

Trying to build those with no depth perception was fun.

 

[Tangledfeet]

@Hood You could make sooo, sooo many scribers from all the unused consumables..!
