Any chance of some pictures or a description of how you made those brackets.
They seem to be very accurate and not easy to make. The holes I can understand but the bends not so much. Did you make up...

I think you will find that punch and shear will be far cheaper.
150 plates like that should not take more than a couple of hours to do.
I will be keen to see what others think and what you...

I have a Spiramax, which appears to be the same as a Brierley.
It is a 1/1/4 machine.
The 6 jaw chuck on it is 110mm OD and 33mm ID.

I have a spare one that I ought at an auction years ago. There were actually two in the lot.
The lathes were not listed or sold at the same sale. Somewhere there are a couple of Colchesters that...

My grinder is the equivalent of the ZB32. It will grind up to 32mm or 11/4.

Some measurements I took are

Gearbox width 215mm outside to outside.

Small gears in the...

G'day,

I have a Spiramax drill grinder that looks remarkably similar to yours.

I don't have a parts manual for it but do have a copy of the original operating manual that I am happy to scan and...

Jekyll and Hyde, Techo 1 and Snapatap, thankyou for your help with this.

Believe it or not I had been looking for inserts for this facemill for almost a year, trying to work out what was the...

Guys thanks for the quick replies.

I have measured the inserts and they are averaging 15.88mm square. They are 6.34 thick with a center hole of 6.48 to 6.5mm.

The data on the face mill is:-

Hi all,

I bought a Valenite facemill at an auction a few years ago. It has 3 square carbide inserts on it. When I bought it most of the corners on the inserts were used and I have finally used up...

Nice job. Well done.

Welding aluminium takes practice and lots of it. At least it does for me.

Maybe have a look at the Smith and Arrow drill sets.
I bought the 1/2 inch cobalt set a couple of years ago and I think they are great.
They also have HSS sets listed and the price seems very good.

Hi Mike,
Did you get sorted with the piece of steel you need.
I have a couple of pieces here that should be just what you want. Unfortunately I don't what the grade is but knowing where I got them...

Thanks for the input guys.

No chance of me doing anything with a CAD program.

The mill was made in England probably in the 60's so I am comfortable with my 20DP calculation (if I have...

Thanks Crocy.

Unfortunately this is a 9 speed gear bod made specifically for the Beavermill by the manufacturer. I have been told that parts are unavailable now.

Sorry I should have included...

Hi All,

While doing some milling yesterday I noticed that the X axis feed on my Beavermill VBRP was slipping intermittently. It would drive for about half a revolution then slip then drive again....

Looks to me like the Type 2 is a tapping screw but you need to drill the appropriate hole first whereas your original looks to be self drilling and self tapping.
Sorry I can't help with your...

I am in Brisbane. North side.
Have the necessary equipment and happy to help out.
Maybe PM me with contact details and we can see what we can work out.

Bigger shed!!

G'Day RC,
In regards to your worm drive quest, I have two worm drives from a Holden electric seat adjusting mechanism. I don't know what model.
They are motor driven and the output shaft has a...

What absolutely spectacular work. All I can say is "WOW".
Looks like Michael G has some competition.
Thank you for sharing.

I see Maxon Machinery are advertising an AL350A.

Maybe contact them and see if they have the manual for it and would be prepared to send you a copy.

I just tried to PM you but got the following:-

I have a new roll of this wire that is free to a good home. Please note it is 2mm.
I was given it some time ago and have no use for it.
It has almost gone into the wheelie bin a number of times but...

Jhovel, thanks for your comments.
Nowhere in my previous post did I say I would wait for a call back from an overseas vendor. Unless they were able to give me a reasonable idea of the expected call...

Smith and Arrow have gone to the trouble of emailing details of a special offer they are running.
I wanted to order 200 cutting discs and probably 200 flap discs but I needed to ask some questions...

I think that each of his tubes may be actually be 20 watt that give a similar light output as a 40 watt (actually 36 watt now in Aus) fluorescent tube.
I bought 2 LED tubes from Ebay and they are 20...

I have emailed Steve offering to send him a copy of the manual.
Just need an address.

Can you get your hands on a tong tester and check the current while welding.
My limited experience with BOC gear is that it is generally pretty good.
If you want to try the tong test route and...

How about a tailstock instead.

Got the foaming problem sorted after much frustration.
Drained the oil, cleaned the tank, replaced all the screens and filter, then installed new oil.
Ran the machine and the foaming was ten times...

Looks like the vice base is gone.
The tailstock is still available. Was to big for the guy that was interested. I would be keen to know what it has come from. 300mm rotary table maybe??

G'day Stuart,

The OD of the slot is 139.5 mm ID 110 mm and height 39.5 approx. The pin in the centre is 25.4 mm but it is pressed in so you could machine up any size you need.

Also it looks...

Having a bit of a tidy up in the shed.
I bought these at an auction years ago. G them amongst a pile of other bits I wanted.
The tailstock centre height is 250MM. It is unused. It has no brand...

Hi Grahame,

I have been involved a bit with wiring high rise buildings. This often means getting wire through conduit buried in the concrete and can involve quite long runs.

The method that...

Hey Ben,
I just finished cutting some 2 wire hydraulic hose with a 125 mm 1 mm thick Smith and Arrow cutting disc on an angle grinder.
Since the bead construction on a tyre is similar I think this...

Finally got back to the press brake.
After more research I think the oil foaming is caused by contaminated oil.
I have removed the pumps from the tank. They are fully submerged so suction leaks are...

I drained a sample of oil from the tank today.
No sign of water in the sample however the sample did have some contamination (dirty flakes) that I think has settled to the bottom of the tank.
I am...

Thanks guys,
Both good suggestions.
The pump is in the tank. Suction directly into the pump at the pump inlet and this is at the bottom of the tank.
The return line is a pipe welded into the tank...

Thanks for the suggestion.
I don't have a problem with that but it holds 200 litres so I would like to be fairly sure that is the problem.

I have a Scale and Engineering hydraulic pressbrake.
When I use it the oil foams/aerates very quickly.
I don’t think this is a new problem as, when I bought it, it had a fair bit of oil around the...

If the trailer tyres are wearing OK and it is towing straight behind your vehicle I would not change anything.
If you do decide to change something in the axle alignment, which axle would you move....

I have used Smith and Arrow flap discs in 100mm and 125 mm various grits and I was very happy with them.
I will buy them again when I need more.

Mate,
Happy birthday for tomorrow.
Good for you. I can't tell you how happy it has made me to share your joy for day.
I wish you and your wife a fantastic day tomorrow.
All the best.
Graeme

Thanks all.
Appreciate the help.
Michael, PM sent.

What I am asking is does anyone have a copy of the manual, or where to obtain one, for this mahine.
I would like to sharpen some endmills on it. Both the ends and the flutes.
I think that I can set...

Thanks for that Bob.
I have already downloaded this manual, but the G198 is a far more capable and complicated grinder.
In fact I was going to buy a G198 but decided that I should really try to...

Here is a picture. Not my actual machine but it is the same model.
Thanks for any help.

Hi Guys,
About 3 years ago there was a thread with a member looking for a manual for one of these machines.
It seems that this grinder has been made by a number of factories and marketed by even...
