Re: File download problems (Works for m)
No, I just downloaded 2 DOC files and watched a MOV of the Adj. Backplate. :) However, are we back to duplicate posts again? Some look very familiar. 8-|

Re: Broke the tap, Grrrrr.
Hello Folks, To be pedantic, I think that the sterilising stuff is sodium metabisulphite (Na2 S2 O5), rather than metabisulphate, but I don't suppose that would make any practical difference. I might

Re: through bore
G'day Ellis Drilling from the tail stock is OK but the drill or chuck is held by a taper. If the drill self feeds it breaker its grip with the taper and slips. An exercise in futility. You have to

Re: Broke the tap, Grrrrr.
Thankee Sir! Will head down there tomorrow, I only have a little of that left in the homebrew supplies. Time to stock up for another batch anyway. Unfortunately too late in the year to lager another

Re: through bore
Reaming it provides a smooth bore & ensures it's actually as big as it claims to be. Roy wrote:

Re: through bore
The practical problem is controlling the feed of a large drill enlarging a hole; they tend to self feed at their spiral rate. It's easier to control a reamer's feed. Roy hole, a drill would do just as

Re: Broke the tap, Grrrrr.
Yup! That's the same sodium bisulphate as the pH down product for pools/spas. It's quicker than alum (any of the common variants) & easy to get. Roy wrote: the they productid=285&cat=0&page=1

Re: Broke the tap, Grrrrr.
Ian, Am no chemist but have used Sodium Bisulphate (meta too I think) for broken drills etc in gold, silver, and aluminium. For aluminium somewhat dilute nitric would be faster but much harder to

Re: Broke the tap, Grrrrr.
G'day Jeff, Andy, et al. I'm not quite sure by your comments whether you have used Sodium Bisulphate to extract broken taps. If you have then that substantiates my assessment that it is the sulphate

Re: Broke the tap, Grrrrr.
Ian, For some more info to confuse the chemistry freaks... the jewellery pickle is labelled " Sodium Bisulfate". The PH down might be a 'sodium meta bisulfate' but it is reported to be a cleaner (and

Re: Broke the tap, Grrrrr.
G'day Andy, Perhaps you could do a few extra-curricular experiments. Drill a hole in pieces of aluminium and then drive steel screws into into each then. No need to thread the hole. Not quite the same

Re: Broke the tap, Grrrrr.
Thanks, Ian. My chemistry stopped with school "A-level" (the exams that qualify you for uni). We had opportunities for extra-curricular experiments making gun-cotton, benzedrine etc. Much more

Re: Broke the tap, Grrrrr.
Hi Jeff, What a neat idea. After the work's been buggered I can save the tap to present to the tool store as evidence! Yeah, Ian sorted me out on that. But I'm still not repeating CHEM- 101. <G> John
