LOL, there is that! Our 4 fur kids are in heaven with several each. I've got my "rejects'" in several places around the apartment now and Fray and Nimitz will paw one over to me if I am sitting close

The "best" way will depend on the operator's preference! If there's a machined surface anywhere on the flywheel you received, it's usually handier to start by using it as a reference for subsequent

If nothing else, the laser pointers make superb cat toys! It's even more fun with 2 lasers & multiple cats;-) Roy wrote:

I am a newbie with the lathe and started with a Stirling engine. What would be the best order of operations for the flywheel and how do you make both sides parallel? Any advice would be appreaciated.

Hi Ian es all, I've been kind of busy for the past couple days but reading the mail as I can. With the one from MM coming, truthfully I don't know if I will consider proceeding with this or not. It

G'day John, Vikki, Roy Derek et al. I think this thread should come to an end before we feel the ire of those who would want to "sit back and sift". Even though discussion has drifted away from the

Hi, Well I'm not a physicist although I am an engineer of the electronic variety. My thinking is that the laser wavelength is around 600nm from memory and will readily detect edges of quarter wave.

John, You and Roy hit the nail on the head. I'm cutting an approximation of a 1.5mm metric thread...something I've never done before. I thought that engaging the half nuts at the same number on the

Hi Roy, Yeah, but once Vikki's commercial number from MM arrives I think she'll find new games to play. Vikki's had the fun of sussing out how far you can push a $1 laser and it's been an interesting

Hi Jim, I'd try keeping the half-nuts engaged and reversing up - as opposed to using the threading dial. If the problem persists you must have some sort of slippage (on keyed gears???). Are you doing

What thread pitch are you trying to cut? The threading dial only aligns for multiples of 1/2 tpi; if you're doing a metric approximation (with an SAE leadscrew) you'll have to keep the half-nuts

If nothing is slipping, it may mean you have the gears set up for metric threads. How many tpi were you trying to cut? How many tpi did it actually cut, as measured with a thread gauge (no estimating

It's been a couple of years since I've done any screwcutting on my lathe, but it always went fine back then. Today I learned the hard lesson of running a test piece even though I thought it would work

Item# 140108076785 I just listed my little 7x12 Homier. If you need one take a look. Lots of pictures. Need money to finish my 8x14. Donny

THANK YOU TONY !!! I most always sit back and sift for useful info. and much can be learned in doing so. The topic on the copyrights was getting foolish and wasting space that could be used for

Patrice, I think Druid has put to words what I believe as well. As for the search engine on this list, it is lacking but it does as good as can be expected on a free for all site like this. I see the
