I dont have experiance with that particular plate Steve....Is it possible to drill and tap around the edges of your plate (where it sits on the shoulder)and insert grub screws to level it. When i cut my top out to accept the plate i cut it too deep by about a mm but i have leveling screws to...

I am with Felderman here, Woodworking squares are notorious for being out and i only ever use engineers squares.....even when i use an adjustable square i usually check it before i use it. I once bought a 600mm T square and first time i used it was to cut a...

Barry. I had planned onm making one as a project for GWW.... the reason i never was i have a very good felder extraction system and it would have went to waste just sitting in the corner. my breakdown was 2 or 3HP fan/blower £200 with switch 22 guage barrel cut and rolled to shape...

Gareth, These drills are very popular with the kitchen fitters at present.....I bought 2 off them and they are very good...solid chuck which seems to be on a ratchet and doesnt spit toolbits out.....nicely balanced and an all round good tool The bad bit......the trigger...

Scott, Ive' got a few lockups which i rent out and i keep them in there. the engines come with their own cradles and i simply bolt them to the concrete floor. the smaller engines only produce around 650lbs thrust so they are ok just being bolted down but the viper produces around...

Lynx, I used a stick on tape measure from starret.......I like your idea of a solid 15mm laminate but i am usure of where to get such stuff...i know its available as i have seen some of the larger cnc companies use it but i beleive its quite expensive. I opted for a 3 part fence in...

Thanks for the contact Chas. Tibbs....I havent got the viper running yet but i've rebuilt 2 of the paloustes and they are running lovely....they idle about 22000 rpm and go up to around 30000....i am trying to think of a way of afterburning them..they were aux engines out a viscount bomber from...

Just wondering if there are any other jet enthusiasts within this group. I currently have 3 Palouste engines and have just bought a Rolls Royce Viper.....Taken from a jet provost RAF trainer. Problem...the starter motor and shaft etc had to stay on the plane so i'm trying to suss out how best...

Hi All, I am planning on building a copy of a Wurlitzer Prince or Princess Jukebox as a project for GWW. It will have a 10 disc cd player housed instead of the old style record player. I have priced a few of the parts required from a wurlizter dealer which are pretty expensive. I am...

Fabulous Chris, Looking forward to seeing the inside now.......have you got any surprises hidden inside :wink: must get into the loft and look for these airpress bags for you...i havent forgoton...just need to psyc myself up to go up into the loft looking forward to...

Anyone here aware if any of the tool companies do a christmas club. By which i mean they allow people to pay so much a month which allows them a decent tool at the end of the year similar to the way christmas hampers do it. I got asked the question from a friends wife who wants to buy her...

Cheers Jason, I did look at a smaller mill......but i needed a heavier duty machine to perform what i want to do.....now i've got the cnc sussed i'm going to build a cnc router.....just starting to save again for all the bits required....knock a fair old hole in the...

Andy, Heres a couple of pics of mine....it might give you a few ideas.....the fence worked well and is similar to the beisemeyer and it worked for the router table and table saw...the height was also set so as to give the jointer a longer outfeed. all the switches at the front were...

now got the machine running on the x and y axis only ….still to fit up the z axis….cant believe how accurate it is, .nice and smooth running ….I am trying to design the Z axis so that I can incorporate a router body which will allow me to cut some wood in 3D so I’m looking forward to that. The...

try Fox, They sometimes have a 2hp motor fan assembly laying about thats been returned.....if the worst came to the worst you might have to even buy one but i wouldnt go less than 2hp possibly upto 3hp. When you make your middle tube the one that goes from your fan and runs through...

Bought myself a boring head….this has made life so much easier for boring awkward shaped pieces. Have been on holiday and updates have been slow but I still have a few days left to get cracking. I have now completed the Y axis…..it took a bit of shoehorning to get the ballscrew nut and...
