Hi Bob, Sadly its a dead cert lots of others won't either..
Ah well all good things….
I'm only here as a home for my model engineering project, someone will no doubt let me know if I need to clear off..
Anyways for what its worth I've just had a brilliant few hours in the workshop starting to bore my bearings…
I did as Jason suggested and used the corner of one of the grinding wheels, a slight tap with the hammer (I put a rag over as John suggested) – it snapped so easily I think I could have used my fingers… Two seconds to do.. I spent ages trying to cut with a hacksaw – will never try that again..!
The little tool after grinding back to length for the boring bar..
Setting up to bore the bearings on the lathe. I couldn't get this quite perfect due to the still slightly bad hole – as a result of having to re-solder earlier..
Starting to use the between ctrs boring bar. This is working like a dream, really great to be using after making it. No signs of any problems with the tool grabbing or anything like that, smooth as you like….
Starting to use the between ctrs boring bar 2. You can see that the bearings needed to be lined up by boring or drilling etc – in situ
I found it very enjoyable and yet another first for me..
Regards and maybe goodbye this time I think. I just can't put up with any more ill mannered people.. I need to join a local club I think and give that a go..
Allan
