Does it really need to earn it keep can't it just sit there and wait for the ever so special job to do.

I totally agree with you but and this is a big BUT your casing have years of neglect to get to that stage, the brass in question was new brass and clean cut and in all the brass I have in stock I have never seen that kind of corrosion. Anyway looks like the problem has been solved and a fine...

My kind of workshop and a long time ago I used to have the very same model of Wadkin lathe, looking forward to seeing the woodwork.

Well it say's solid brass on the advert, when you make a saw cut through it can you see the bright brass colour or the white with a yellow coating round the edge. I have worked with a lot of brass and never seen it go white naturally.

Are they just dipped brass or solid? they could have been coated and you wiped it off.

Brilliant they captured the cats perfectly.

My sister received it and straight away she is thinking she will get more money than they said on TV, It's worrying how many people are going to get caught out by this now with all the living costs are going up. I know what I would like to do to them !!!!!!!!!!

Yes no problem that one was a 1-1/2 x 1/4 3 wing slot I had to deepen the countersunk hole to drop the head lower and worked for flattening for many years very easy to sharpen up as well, I now use a larger one on my cnc for levelling the spoil board.

I picked up some of these 1-1/2" dia on 1/4" shaft a few years ago don't know if you can still get on 1/4 or 6mm

ER16 are collets the designation 1.5 - 2 means it will hold round bar between 1.5mm and 2mm it has nothing to do with thread pitches. what lathe do you have and does it have a chuck? Edit: just re-read you are after 16er thread cutting inserts then yes you need an insert for each thread pitch.

For when you have a spare hour:

If someone was in the situation of committing suicide would they be in the frame of mind 1st to go into a phone box 2nd to work out how to get a letter out of the box? then you have the ***** gang that see a box and they have to break it. Just thinking you might be overthinking the actions of...

Think of using a lathe if you wind the chuck on clockwise then turn on the power the chuck rotates Towards you and lock it'self on the shaft, but if you put the lathe in reverse going Away from you, you risk the chuck flying off and giving you a good slap in the face if your not a lucky person.

No it's a battery.

If the locking nut is Right hand thread the disk should be on the Left or you risk the disk coming loose and cut down the front of the materiel forcing sparks to go down not at you.

Hi Polly13, Not hard to do cut a straight piece as long as you need it I have drawn 300mm long X 22mm does not matter the angle of the cut or the wedge.

Maybe rename the Joke Thread II to: Humour-Less-I that should cover all entries.
