I love the last one it says it all and AVE on youtube has one on CNC machine.

Has any body tried the plasma cutter out yet?
Any reviews and what compressor are you running from.

Yep. Cut's 5mm steel on full power quite reasonably. Last time I used a plasma was 30+ years ago Cuts 2mm ally really beautifully (and fast too). Will just about cut 6mm ally but you have to go slow.

He should make a sticker with this line

Today I acquired a 4mt to jt6 adaptor to go with my bargain basement 16mm Cromwell tools chuck. No more sleeves inside sleeves

I like that one " Do Not Dumb Here ".

I've got one of those hammer/morse taper remover thingys, but in slightly better condition. That's the first one I've seen apart from mine.

JT 6 , I think it does mean Jacobs Taper?
We usually use the B numeration
Example MT (CM) 5 to B18
I am going to make research about because I thought that should be the same exact tapers
Just because it's good to know , maybe in the future I will need to replace a drill chuck and have to struggle with those designations

Not sure @Memmeddu , a taperist may be along shortly to confirm if there are any similarities or cross overs.

[Dr.Al]

These are quite useful links for tapers:

http://www.toolsandmods.com/library/morse-taper-dimensions - it's got "B" (ISO239) tapers as well as Morse (although the Morse table doesn't include 4.5)
http://www.tools-n-gizmos.com/specs/Tapers.html - this has almost everything, albeit in a mix of units and some of the details are missing dimensions.

I've got some on my website, but haven't got as far as adding the drill chuck tapers yet.

The Wiki entry is quite extensive. I often use it.

Last couple of weeks I've been sorting out a load of engines that haven't run for a while and could have been a load of work, but I just put fuel in them and they started. one of them had nipped up and was very hard to turn over. All of them have started so far and I can only put it down the the petrol tin being magic. (despite there being two petrol tins involved...)

55 yrs as an electromechanical engineer who worked in plant hire for a few years , my experiences in laid up two strokes made me start doing this as a matter of course :- Spring always saw me inundated with non starting two strokes .

If a two stroke has dust on it from being stored the likelihood is that the bore is dry and liable to pick up on a slightly worn cylinder .. Clean the machine , check the air filter , Take the plug out give it a spray in the plughole with WD 40 and pull the engine over a few times then reassemble putting in recently made fresh 2 stroke fuel or 2 stroke fuel that has " a fuel saver" in it in the tank .
I often used to put a piece of cut conveyor belt over the carb and pulled the engine over a couple of times to drag fuel through the carb too .

Don't ask why .
It was just there and free.

Another 2 Dickson toolholders from G+M tools - cheaper than Ebay.
And one of them was still in protective grease never been used

Got one of the Lidl plasma cutters yesterday (well, me missus picked up the last one from our local store). And today Machine Mart threw a VAT free voucher at me. Compressor to go.....

Two auctions this week, this is all I got, could afford or could be bothered with.



I let the members work out what I got.
