Was scanning some of my books into a cataloging app last night, and discovered I have two copies of this book in paperback. I'm in the USA, would prefer it go to a newish wannabe machinist. Anyone

There's no reason I can see where you couldn't make it on a Unimat. I have the drawings, and it's in my project queue. I do have two Unimats, so intend to have one set up as? lathe, and one as?

That would probably be a good thing to to for most of us, these days. It would probably drop my blood pressure 10 points. Bill in OKC? William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.) Aphorisms to live by:Good

Hi Oldtoolmaker, If you want to model in N gauge, you might want to consider the 2mm Scale Association, 2mm.org.uk. We model in 1/152 scale, really 2mm/foot stuff. The potential attraction is our

Nice… but presumably you didn’t make that on a Unimat though Dick? (a Unimat is all I have…)

I like to occupy my thoughts with things pertaining to the Unimat instead of reading about all the political BS these days. Dick -- http://www.homemadetools.net/ forum/ OFF-

Thank you, Neil, it is good to know. Dick -- http://www.homemadetools.net/ forum/ OFF- SET-tailstock-center-65965#post105972 http://www.homemadetools.net/ forum/s...995#post112113 (

I agree about those carbide drills - snapped them every time I used them. As said before, I found that the Busch HSS steel ones are good. I got some for my Ferrari work, found they worked, so got some

One reason that I pointed out German and Swiss micro drills is that you can get them in cobalt and HSS.? They flex while the cheap (typically Chinese) carbide bits will break. This is where I

It is not necessarily true that tiny drills flex.? Many are carbide and EXTREMELY brittle such as those used for drilling printed circuit boards. You need a very solid setup.? If you try to use

The best part of tiny drill bits. They flex Dave

Afraid I have to disagree a bit there, John. Pun intended. I know this isn't for everyone, but if you have the capability to make your own spade bits, you'll never have to wait for a drill bit order

Please go to Ebay and search "micro drill Germany" or "micro drill Switzerland".? In my opinion, looking at the prices, sizes and quantities available, you would be wasting your time with these

Dick, Just dug this out of my filing system from a few years ago, I used to do machine engraving and pivoting clock plates in the past and stored a few snippets like this to learn

One last thing. It is a very accurate means of drilling and the drill starts without need for center drilling. That is all there is to it! What more could a person

The Unimat indexing head will work nicely for positioning! Now you just need a rotating grinding wheel. Sounds simple and it is. Dick -- http://www.homemadetools.net/ forum/ OFF-

Google “Micro 100 spade drill” and you will see pictures of all kinds. Dick -- http://www.homemadetools.net/ forum/ OFF- SET-tailstock-center-65965#post105972 http://www.homemadetools.net/

It is not hard to grind a spade drill, you just need a means of accurately holding the blank HSS tool blank for grinding. It can’t be done accurately free hand. I don’t have pictures. A

It is when one two is worst . If you have a hundred or more now gets easier. You go out and buy or build what need from jigs to equipment need. The more odd the more you can make. No one wants to do
