well moderately deep anyway.  In this case, 8mm dia and 65mm deep.
This is a hole in the end of a bit of BMS bar, so the bar is in the lathe
and the drill in a chuck in the tailstock.  First 25-30mm goes fine and then
the deeper it gets the more the swarf doesn't clear from the ...

I fence as a hobby (many of my questions are regarding the manufacture
of fencing equipment) and occasionally blades get snapped - the steel
used is very tough (maraging steel on my blades) so I wonder whether it
would be suitable for grinding into use for cutting tools and the ...

Anyone going to Tim Leech's at Warrington or St Helens in the next
couple of weeks pickup from J24 / J25 M1 ?

I'm looking for a bit of ally to make something 325x115mm, 25mm thick. Could
anyone suggest a UK supplier, and give me an idea of how much I should
expect to pay?

I know material has gone up, reportedly because China is buying it all, but
I'm amazed at the recent price of 80mm x 6mm flat BMS. Granted I'm only used
to buying round bar, but nearly £20inc vat for a 3 metre length
hurts........ or is it me !!! ( from Parkside and Acton Bright)

    Just a bit of 'customer feedback' - about a month ago somebody was
asking about getting the slideways of their mill reground.  At about the
same time an advert appeared in Model Engineer, for the first time ever, I
think, offering that same service.

Any of you chaps know a tame Mitutoyo agent?
I need a DRO part from them that retails for US $50 in the States and
according to Mitutoyo UK £78 in the UK. Some mark up in there.
The US won't export so I'd like to talk to someone other than the

Our mail order customers (especially international) always wish they
could be a part of "warehouse or at-location only" sale events. NOW'S
YOUR CHANCE to be a part of our FIRST EVER on-line warehouse sale!!!
When we moved to Las Vegas, we found a few BIG boxes filled with kits

Anybody have access to this range?
I need S72 018 Avia S.199 Stencils.
TIA.

The central 20 bore has a "normal" parallel thread - that is that the
centreline of the thread form is square (at 90 degrees to) to the axis of
the bore. This device will rely on the thread form following a curved and
not tapered, path from the outer (40) diameter to the centre 20 ...

I have been given an opportunity to make an offer on an old dirty series 1
Bridgeport mill. This  has a digital readout fitted. The machine hasn't been
used for ages according to the owner. Trouble is, where does one start?  I
liked the sound on nothing, he didn't !! I hate ...

I'll be there for the next two weeks.
TIA,

I enjoy building a variety of models, but for the last several years my
interest has been in 1/72 armor and figures.
My goal is to paint figures in this scale with as much detail as
possible, using many of the same techniques designed for larger scale

several days before the end of November and their December flyer is
out. Nothing of note jumping out at me though.
