More of a ‘What I am Going To Do Today’ – off to the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway – start the year with the smell of oil and coal.. 😊

With the weather as it is it was a good day for workshop time so got down to completing the rope knurl project by making form tools making the knurling process a 2 minute affair. It seems to make the definition of the knurl a lot better. So a good start to 2025 hope its the same for all of you. And yes there are two different pitches.

..is the finer pitch one ‘new’? – looks good..

[bernard towersParticipant @bernardtowers37738]

Yes the finer pitch is the newer one, I thought it would be better for smaller diameters but its all down to personal choice. Now all I need is a job for them.

Hi, today I took delivery of a 4″ HV rotary table, which I ordered late on New Year’s Eve, from Amadeal Ltd., seems to be a nice build, and I will be able to use my index plates on it, that I use on my 6″ Vertex one.

This one will suite my mini mill better than my Vertex one.

Regards Nick.
