You got me thinking. If it can remelted and persuaded back together again.
A fine tip on the solder rework hot air gun and the application of some clamps later.…
Its scarred but whole again.

Lots more decorating, almost done, but only have a few days as carpet is being fitted.
Bandsaw some plate
Tried the big slugger, no chance. Too many flutes or blunt? Just got lots of chatter, belt slipping and a million tiny splinters!
The baby 26mm went through nicely.
First one roughed out.

My friends burned through this coffee pot stand on their hob. Coffee is an essential, especially when you’re on lockdown! Smallest I had in stock was some 2mm plate. Let’s see this break

The big bakelite knob (posted in the other thread) installed holds the shelf on the bandwagon project.

If it's blunt it's blunt, however they like a bit of pressure and if the are not making swarf they are just spinning and overheating.

glad it wasnt a sykes picavant oneModified this tiny cheap bearing puller with an angle grinder in order to remove the bearings and shafts from the Favretto balancer. Even had to make a little extension piece for the screw. 8mm shafts and 24mm housings.
Pressure washed the crud off the frames and ready for shot blasting.
New NSK bearings already arrived so no issues destroying these

Power, Speed, tool pressure and Rigidity required.
If they start to chatter usually they need more tool pressure. Once they've chattered a few times they go blunt and will always chatter it seems.
You need a ton of rigidity for a cutter that size, and a lot of torque.

Is this for the little Mini Estate that you spent so much tine on a few years ago?

I don't have a particularly good relationship with woodworking but, on this occasion I've made something I can be proud of - a gate for my neighbour's back garden. She works most days and there have been one or two suspicious characters wandering round the back recently. Just a bit of sealing here and a couple of covers to protect the rolling bolt from the worst of the elements to do. Bought in some 4" x 3/4" timber and added a length of 3" x 2" for a post plus the hinges which have been knocking around in my workshop for ages. Kept me well occupied for a while which is why I haven't been online of late.
I'd be giving it a touch more clearance between gate and panel - a few days of rain and both expand towards each other . .

A screw. The one on the left. Just need to order a M7x1.0 die to finish it off.
It's a longer shoulder version of the one on the right, so that I can use/try this.
It's a Starlock adapter, so one can use the older style blades, which are more readily available.
The slot is a hacksaw & file job.

First of four collet blanks for the Capstan lathe. EN8M is nice free cutting steel but dropping from 35mm to 24mm on the diameter was quite a bit of work for the Myford!
These will get drilled / Reamed to final size and have 3 slots cut to make them spring collets. Heat treatment will have to wait for the burnout oven to be built....
