No regular European variety.

Search Myford collet chuck on e bay. This one is for ER 32 £45. There are others. And the Fobcos I have seen have all had a hollow spindle. So I would probably stick with MT and a drawbar just on the basis of being considerably cheaper, although this does look as though it may offer a pass...

A Hornet came past me in the garden a few days ago, like a mini Chinook droning past. Not had them in my garden before so looking forward to seeing some more once she has set up home. Also have squatters in one of my bird boxes, it is full of bees ! Always have House Martins on three walls, this...

In fact a quick Google reveals that there are a number of people selling ER collet holders specifically for the Myford thread, not as cheap as using an MT one with a draw bar, but more convenient. And still far cheaper than going the Myford route. With the prices of second hand Myford collets at...

I use ER in my ML4 in this way. Also on my Unimat, which is actually a similar situation in that they made a holder and collets for their machines, which are now all but unobtainable. So I have made ER holders for it.

Well perhaps I should have added that it would need to be secured with a draw bar, but would have thought that went without saying. An MT ER chuck and collets can be had for £50 or less. I suspect the Myford collet holder parts and collets will cost considerably more, especially the collets...

I have used them for a long time to secure wood framed buildings to a concrete base. I believe the original ones were branded Multi Monti. These had a very well defined thread, the first part of which was heavily serrated to cut into the concrete. This is the design you want. Unfortunately some...

A technique I was shown for gunstocks is that once you get down to the finer grades, dampen the surface first. Just wipe over with a damp sponge, this swells the fibres slightly. If you then go over it with some fine wet and dry that removes the raised fibres. Once it dries they shrink back and...

Depending on what you want to do you could get a suitable size MT taper ER collet holder and collets, will certainly be a lot cheaper. Only issue is that ER holders generally aren't pass through, so if that is important to you then no good.

My favourite was always the original FW190. Such an almost dainty little aircraft, but lethal when it first appeared.

That's interesting. Haven't really worked on any modern ones but assumed they were made by Ducellier or SEV as in the old days, neither of which were a patch on Bosch. I wonder who makes the gearbox itself, they used to buy them in, although both Renault and Peugeot Citroen big enough to make...

Stunning as always. Great aircraft, with some very clever features. For example the whole front section housing the engine was readily removable, everything being fitted in a frame held on by I think just four large bolts and featuring push fit connectors for oil, fuel etc. If a pilot returning...

It might also be worth seeing if you can find a local auto gearbox specialist. One in France is certain to be familiar with any faults common to the particular gearbox you have, and how to fix them. If the ECU is a common issue then I wouldn't be surprised to find there will be someone who does...

I would try a scrapyard, sorry vehicle recycling company. Most reputable places offer a limited guarantee on these sort of parts, so if it turns out to be as bad as the original you can take it back. If it's a common problem then chances are high one from another car may be the same. If it's...

The criticism was primarily about the morals of the case. Each claimed the allowance in full. So two claims were being made where in any other circumstances there would only have been one. Technically not in breach of the rules as they were not written in anticipation of two MPs being married...

Ghastly individuals both, so I will give you that one.

I am not a tribal anything. I will happily confess to being a conservative, with a small c. I think the Tories had a massive opportunity with the majority Boris had to show us what they were about. They have completely blown it, first with the endless lies and sleazy antics, then with the sheer...

I well remember the beasting she got from the audience on Question Time. All she could keep repeating like a cracked record was that it wasn't technically a breach of the rules. The fact that it was plainly immoral seemed to be lost on her entirely. And you think a person with such a clearly...

If you don't want their hand in the till you have to pay them more? Very insulting to those who found it perfectly possible to make ends meet without resorting to this sort of behaviour, Jeremy Corbyn being a notable example, I am quite sure there are many others. Funny isn't it how left wingers...

So why did they pay the money back?
