If you have a six-jaw chuck, you can use it to press tube around small nuts to form your own spinners.

Use bored-out and annealed tool steel and they can be hardened and tempered for long life.

(Not my tip, I read it in one of the mags years ago – note that six jaw chucks can usually grip very small diameters).

Very many thanks for being persistent

I hope that I have sent you a message OFF LIST (but I have little faith in computer technology!)

With best wishes and thanks again.

Thank you for taking the time to respond — but I don't have a six jaw chuck.

I have never seen them advertised for the Taig/Peatol Lathe.

Dear Bill

I have tried sending another message using the "Message Member" link

I don't understand what I've done incorrectly.

I have spent a long time trying to find a link to the messages that I've sent – but there's only a tab marked INBOX.

With best wishes and thanks again.

If you click on the "Inbox" link (on the green bar at the top of the page), you'll be taken to a page where all you incoming messages are displayed. However, you will also see there a link for "Sent Box". If you click on that, you will be able to see whatever you have sent.

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

It's unintuitive to have to look for SENT messages in the INBOX – but I fund them.

Does everybody know how to find messages sent to them? It would be a lot easier if they just arrived in one's email client!

With best wishes and thanks again.

You can set the system up to send you an e-mail notification of messages, just go to settings on the green bar and then select my account . Second item down is a box to tick for notification. You also get the flashing icons on the website when you have a message waiting.

But rather than receive a notification that there's a message, it would be far simpler if the message just arrived in my INBOX and to which I could reply by email.

Your view may differ!

Though they look similar Private Messages aren't emails. The word 'Private' reveals their main advantage. Only members can exchange PMs, and only the Forum administrator and addressees can read them.

PMs are much more contained than emails, which use a store and forward mechanism to route stuff across the many different servers and interconnected networks than comprise the internet. Store and forward means multiple copies are taken, and – even worse – the global nature of email means spam! On the plus side, email is more capable than PM because it allows attachments and other bells and whistles.

The software used by this forum isn't particularly friendly when it comes to PMs in that the facility is behind a menu (Inbox tab, top left) and not everyone realises it exists. When a PM is received the items ringed in red below flash, and the message ringed in blue appears in the Friends pane.

From the Inbox a tick box sends an email notification whenever a PM is received.

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

I have sent Bill ("br&quot three messages using this system and my SENT box tells me that he has NOT been able to read any of them!

I'm NOT very adept at all this computer stuff.

With best wishes and thanks again.

Sounds like you've cracked sending them MC, but Bill hasn't sussed out how to read PMs yet. Maybe Bill simply hasn't noticed the flashing – it's not obvious! I sometimes take a while to notice them. Or isn't logged in.

After logging in and seeing a message alert click on the Inbox and a list of messages should appear. Another twist, to open a message click on it's title, not on who sent it.

I could not agree with you more – a nice simple solution

bill

Dear Bill

I'm sending this in the open forum.

I was taught to be cautious at University so I have created a unique email address that you can contact me with.

It's me.forum@detectivewalks.co.uk

I received hundreds of spam messages so sending you one for you to contact me is a risk I'm prepared to take!

I look forward to hearing from you and thank you, in anticipation, for your interest.

I hope that you and your family are, and will remain, safe and well.

Yours very sincerely,

MC Black

Looks like Br has deleted the message sent to him without reading them from what I can see As his inbox is empty but there are showing in MCB's sent box as unread.

Sorry Brian but the problem(s) appear to all be you or your equipment. As I said I can replicate the messages not showing by logging in as you and deleting them. Also if I log in as you I can open your album page without a problem. Same for the photo problem the other day where you had the album marked private not public which was stopping people being able to see the image. You have also had problems asdding images in the past under one of your other user manes

We can only do so much at this end the rest is down to the user.

This problem with OFF LIST messages that "br" is experiencing confirm my long held belief that computers work by Witchcraft!

I have now received an email message from "br" and replied by email.

It's always sad when somebody gives up a long established hobby.

I hope that you and your families are, and will remain, safe and well.

Yours very sincerely,

MC

The tables above have been most usefull

Opened up a new box of Sherwood M5btaps, today, to find that they don't want to go into a 4.2 mm hole. Why? 5.25 mm diameter although marked 5 x 0.8! So look like being incorrectly marked 1BA!

What typo?

The dimension is A/F (Across Flats).

.

The typo that you made when transcribing 0.248

.

MichaelG.

May I ask the source of this data please?

It would be useful to have a laminated copy in my shed-workshop but I don't know how to print just the table.

Very many thanks in anticipation
