[Moose McAlpine]

I'm going to tag you everytime I say it I just feel like it's like a child if I refer to him as my boyfriend. I am all grown up

Meanwhile, in the MIG Welding Forum playground..

Kim and her boyfriend, sitting in a tree, k i s s i s s i p p... no, wait..

I'm not.

I may be greying, but I stick to my shoe size, not my age.

You're in France so you're what, about a 43?

Little bit more, but not far off.

But they're only 25 quid.. if the bill's that big it's only a drop in the bucket..



17 quid. You know you want to.

Get thee behind me Satan!

It is an odd one.
It looks like it is the version from 1972.
But the whistle insert is a repair. Who did it has dismantled the boiler and fitted the insert from the inside.
As it would of been from the factory.

The super heater pipes are routed as they would of been from a version from 1960. As is the box.

The base plate sticker is a 1970's version, but the Mamod sticker on the boiler frame is from the 1960's

So it is either a very good repair, or a old engine re vamped by Mamod to sell in the 1970's

But it needs a lot of TLC.

New seals, a few solder joints need to be sealed.

This is incredible !!! How do you remember such details???

There are a few web sites I use and from that you can gather information on the models.

They can also be used to put MT2 tooling in a MT3 mill spindle. The open back end allows for the drawbar. Same for things like dividing heads.

They are also a bugger to get out when they get stuck, Arc do one with a nut to extract itself.

a knife is only a weapon if you use it as one. B

I could say quite a bit about this but sticking to the Oxford Dictionary version a weapon is something designed to harm or kill, so that would be a sword then as it has no other use (you could be pedantic and include Pike but not seen many of those about). Everything else is a tool.

DO NOT get a copy of Machinery Handbook. You look something up, find something interesting and before you know it an hour has gone!

...I can imagine this marking the spindle and raising a burr where the mt3 ends too short.

Had a look in my Swisstech pocket reference, Din228-1A taper, should be 80mm long from 23.82mm and on this its under 50mm.

Unfortunately, your logic is incorrect in both the above statements.

There is no correlation between length and propensity to raise a burr.

Whatever the length, it is the sharpness of the edge that creates a problem. A properly chamfered and rounded end will do no damage.

In your second quote you show pictures of two completely different items to that which is irking you. It is a Morse taper open-ended sleeve. It is not a shank; it is not a tanged sleeve with drift slot.

If you want to complain of it, you need to find a standard that describes the actual thing you have (and I suspect one does not exist). Truncated Morse tapers are used all the time since forever in headstock bushes of lathes.

That's one I'm going to have to add to the "Things that bug you" thread.

Whatever happened to the use of boyfriend, girlfriend, fiance, fiancee, wife, husband etc.?

I am the same. I can’t help but think of the dross on Jezza when I hear that word!

I have no idea why, but it’s just a horrible word!

It is serious. He’s given you a chainsaw

Get a slightly older copy and they're not too expensive - e.g. there's a 25th edition on ebay for £38 at the moment. Machinery doesn't change that much that a 5 or even 20 year old edition isn't useful. Or get the Machinery & Metal Trades Handbook, which has most (but not all) of the metric stuff in the Machinery's Handbook without all the american nonsense.

Don’t fall for the Machinery’s Handbook Companion for a lot cheaper. I bought one off a guy who glossed over the companion bit Luckily he did returns.

Ditto. I think the newest is online? Maybe? Someone here will have a pdf I’m sure but hard copy is often best.

I have seen them on eBay for reasonable money. Not sure what’s been added over the years, the basics remain the same.

Abom gave loads away. I entered his draws but….. meh!

Jezza?, JEZZA!!!!!

 

[James1979]

Jezza?, JEZZA!!!!! View attachment 303318

I don’t know why but it’s what I think of! Probably why I hate the word so much.

Each to their own however. I’m not sure as an adult how you’d describe your ‘significant other’ any other way to be fair. Boyfriend does sound a bit teenager ish.

I am actually turning into a grumpy old man!!

 

[MCKDAVID]

" your lad" "your fella" "your bloke" "your man" etc etc sure most folk would figure it out from that...

not a fan of "partner" either, but I'm sure thier must be more options, than boyfriend....
