@garethp Audi?

 

[Hood]

Could you used voltage divider and kept the circuit board?

Don't think so.
Control has sourcing Inputs so is putting 24v out and that goes to 0v, when the switch on the toolsetter opens the control sees that as an input and records the position.

The way the toolsetter was wired it required 24v and 0v and then 24v was output when the switch was broken.

So big and round

Then came along a chap bowler hat

Big yes, hopefully not round though, if it is I've went wrong somewhere.

Sorry as in voltage divide on the output?

Yep

And the effing pinch bolt

 

[Ashley Burton]

Yep

And the effing pinch bolt

They're a classic!

As far as the control is concerned the ideal is just a switch contact as that will be the quickest and most precise method.

Not really something I've made but something I've done, new wheel bearing which involved stripping the front suspension after much battering on steel parts inserted in an aluminium upright, best bit is its only a year since it was last in bits and everything was greased.

Audi A4 B8/8.5?

I see it's been answered above. Audi = pain in the hole

On my last two pairs of work jeans. Desperate times.

Used up a few planks of nice timber to make the bed slats as my mattress arrived today after 5 weeks and made a planter box from the left over of a decking job.

 

[DAPPH]

I would.
but I live here, she doesn't.

But she has 2 good assets.

Obviously easily solved...... let her take her chimes & charms home with her . Don't tell me it's to late ........... you've done a King Alfred with the wood ?

 

[Lewis_RX8]

Its not the same, you didnt obscure the plate i that

don't want any of the dodgey geezers that kick about this forum looking up erm my MOT history?

Not 100% why licence plates are always obscured don't know if there other websites, I just did that photo because i see everyone else do it

I made an arbor for holding slitting saws in the vertical spindle. It's something I have had a need of before and until now I only could mount them in the horizontal arbor.

Also finally got this parting tool working. 2mm width chinese crapola (I believe the 3mm versions are what most people buy). The inserts just flop loosely in the holder and it was non functional.

I've been super stupid and bought more than one blade to verify it wasn't just a bad one-off but no they are ALL the same. I modified the blade and ground out the bottom of the insert seat so it could seat deeper and actually wedge the insert at all. Then I also removed material from the front of the blade, because the insert sat so deep the blade protruded further than the insert after I removed enough to get it to hold securely. Then it actually worked. And just now I found a way to make it like 10x better, I honed the front of the insert on on my flat diamond disc grinder (3k grit) and it made it super sharp and it just chewed through this piece of 33mm stainless all the way down. Never had such a good working parting tool. But even so I can't recommend it. But honing the front of the insert, what a difference....

Stefan Gotteswinter does that a lot.

With a failure like that, you need to change your screen name to Plenty O' Toole.

 

[Feet 'n Inches]

Since lockdown started I've noticed what little tone there was in my upper arms has started to disappear. I've got a couple of chunks of 3" x 2" bar around 9 and a half inches long in my workshop so I decided to make one into a couple of weights. I cut two lengths of 1" square bar to 6" and the 3 x 2 block into four pieces about 2 1/2" inches long. Welding it up took no time at all but cutting the block with a 9" angle grinder was another story. I can normally cut pretty square with an angle grinder but this time . . .



Not much on the aesthetic side but ok for function. They weigh in at just under 12 lbs each so no danger of ending up looking like Lou Ferrigno (skin's not green anyway ).

Yes, doesn't need failure analysis i need a reduction.

Lol.

Hi

Made today just a wee bracket to hold the gas bottle for the welder.
