Today I acquired...........

[redlig]

Delivered this morning a couple of Ltrs of Castrol 2 stroke oil .Also included was a free air freshener . Great I thought it will almost certainly smell of R30 or 747. Oh no! Smells like the inside of a whores Handbag. Now confined to the compost . Let's see what the worms make of that.

 

[Melvyn Best]

How do you know what the inside of a whores handbag smells like? Just asking, as you do

Hi all

Today, after many confusions, detours and customs formalities,
a package arrived from the English lands via the land of the Picts.

What might be in it?

View attachment 324371

Change gears for the ML7 ... one of them with caries ... hmmm

What else?

More gears ....

View attachment 324372

So far, no more cases of tooth decay with tooth loss ...

And more gears ...

View attachment 324374


And the best:
For the extremely important 40t with tooth loss, a friendly fellow forumist gave me a brand spanking new gear to go with it.

View attachment 324375

My most heartfelt thanks go to Wiltshire, Kent, Scotland.


Now the work begins with Ballistol, brush, brass brushes, toothbrushes in the tea tray and then the gears should be fresh again -
the tooth on the 40t will still be missing, but I don't have to do anything on its replacement.

And while I'm at it, I can also take care of this - just arrived:

I had tried it with the QCTP from Chinesium, not Banggood but the same stuff from eBay.de,
but I'm still not over the scrap that was delivered to me there.

I could not even get up to report here about it ....


This original swiss Multifix Aa - which you normally can't afford at all - someone had got together with his Weiler lathe and it fitted his lathe as little as many things I had got to mine. So you help where you can ...

Now I'm trying to see if I can't get this system adapted to my ML7 - should there be any effort involved, I'm much more motivated to do this than to get the China stuff workable!

Here is a replica holder whose vendor at least claims "German final inspection" for its product - assuming we all know where the stuff comes from, I'm satisfied with that for now.

And here now a fairly used original and a replica holder side by side .... let's see.


View attachment 324367

If it doesn't work out ok, yet I have not burned much money with it.


And then there was something in the package, which was not talked about before and whose exact purpose is not quite clear to me yet ...

View attachment 324369

Someone put a lot of work into it - Any idea?


Q: Is there a methode to mend a tooth on a cast gear, like welding on and cutting off or something??? - cause I need two 40t ...


Have a wonderful evening everybody,


Carsten

Nice!
There's someone on youtube brazed in a lump of spelter then recut the teeth on something like your 40 tooth. You could just make a new one?

I was hoping no-one would ask that.

 

[redlig]

You could sit in that cafe round the corner with all the winos from the doss house opposite whilst they made your order up I recall!

Filmers in Dartford, Stevensons/Stephensons in Bromley.....bought my first soldering iron (S R Brewster make) there.....Sendz in Southend, Rapid in Farningham.....all gone.

All gone including the people who knew what to do with what they sold all replaced by a generation who aren't interested ,in the main.

Yeah, that's the one.
Someone on here, made a v slot, machined a piece of steel (or cast iron), slotted it in and machined it to size.

I repaired a gear by glueing in a piece of cast iron. It's for a DSG lathe and still going strong:

Gear tooth repair

I had this gear from a DSG lathe to repair. It had one single busted tooth on it, probably from being dropped as there was no other damage at all. I decided to fit a new piece in and cut the one single tooth with an involute cutter. Here's the gear. 90 teeth 12DP 14.5PA. An inch thick with a...

I've silver soldered a new tooth into a cast iron gear. Took some heat to do it but possible. As it's only one tooth it could be filed to shape easily enough.

For a change,this pile of galvanised steel welded tube was had at a reasonable £34/length,prices are stabilising and on a few orders,have even come down.

Misty the blunt quickly.

Then pass the dutchy to the left hand side.

If drilling Stella, lots of lub.

Good advice. She's never complained.

Christmas is here early!

As far as I can tell, they're VFDs with extra electronics to monitor pressure/flow sensors, adjust frequency to meet setpoints, communicate over Modbus, that sort of thing. Bluetooth too, apparently . The extra electronics must explain the new price, about 800 quid each . Hopefully they can ignore all their clever electronics and just be set to simple V/f control for three phase motors. Also hopefully they work, they were thrown out and I haven't tested them yet.

Unexpected journey last week from west to east of Germany to collect a huge amount of castolin silver stuff, Fronius TPS2700 and these kit.
Really happy with that.

What Castilian did you get. Rarely find used Castolin stuff over here, I've never seen any of their silver solder for sale used

I have what looks to be a very similar Klauke kit. Nice haul.

 

[Jan-DIY]

Got different Castolin stuff collected or bought online. Last time I discovered some 1020 and for now I got about 25kg of silver over the last year.

I already have that plus some crankshafts and new big ends

That's going to be a whole lot more interesting than watching the Xmas edition of Strictly Come Bake off on Ice with a Celebrity with enlarged lips and her dopy Big Brother.
