Anyone know what grade of steel (or whatever) the valves in a Rover V8
are made of ? I have a lot I am chucking out and I thought they must

I have just bought a Mitiuybyo Vernier with a dial on it with no needle or
glass. Can I get a spare one to fit this.
The vernier was a bargain at only a quid.

I'm working on a 1/72 Tamiya Seiran. Nice kit, except for the fact that
the canopy is 9.5mm at its widest, while the fuselage at the same spot is
10.5mm wide. A 1mm difference doesn't sound like much, but it sticks out

Was messing around trying to mill a bit of cast iron flat today. I've
got an ER40 chuck on 3MT and was using a 12mm 4 flute HSS end mill in
it. Started off fine, did a number of passes (about 6mm depth of cut,
