Hi naughtyboy & wife,

Spelling is not that important, it's content that counts.

We cannot afford to lose any members.

I, for one would be very interested to know what are your first & second languages.

Please give it another try.

Regards, Bear.. (71.5 years).

Hi Mrs Naughtyboy,

It's not your husband's problem, it's ours.

That swarf is also razor sharp as you no doubt know, but newcomers may not.

Quite so, and often pretty hot too, enough to burn the skin. The cast iron I was turning at the weekend was coming off red hot, you could see it glowing.

At least cast iron comes off as a powder, as Geoff suggests the spirals of swarf can be lethal. Two rules:

1. Never, ever try and remove swarf by hand while the lathe is running

2. Never try and get round the problem by wearing gloves, if the glove gets caught you'll be dragged into the machine

Regards,

Andrew

Since I was the person who started what was taken to be mockery perhaps you would take a moment to hear what I have to say now and reconsider you and your husband's decision to leave the forum.

Any mockery was self mockery at my own inability to keep up to date with what I believe is known as text speak and I feel that any similar comments were in the main equally lighthearted. I regret that you and others took offence where none was intended.

May I take the liberty of suggesting that you stay on the forum and continue asking your questions, which many who are perhaps reluctant to ask them themselves learn from. After all, it seems that you were offered plenty of advice on your original question.

To avoid any future offence being caused you may rest assured that I will no longer take part here.

I am asking my wife to write this to avoid confusion.

I believe i may have mis-understood comments made as people ridiculing my lack of writing skills.

I have never had those comments made about me.

Grizzly I am from traditional Romany Gypsy family so my first language is old Romany.

My dad had accident in Germany so we settled there for while before moving to UK.

Hello Mr & Mrs Naughtyboy,

Welcome back and thank you for the reply.

I think we have all learnt something.
