What are you machining?

Don’t hold back John, let’s have mashed spuds from the drop hammer, or fly press if no drop hammer.

Don't be silly you can not knurl a carrot . .......................................... .

Ahh, that's good to know. Saved me from embarrassment trying in front of SWMBO.

and more time than I have left !

You might surprise yourself if you bought some nice quality hand files...

There again you could buy a milling machine for the price of a decent set of files these days!!!

(In case anyone is wondering 1,125.40 CHF is £1,059.12)

Check out hoffmann group, they do some decent files.

That's useful info, I will have to file that away...



In seriousness, they appear to be a similar price to the good quality F. Dick ones (from Dictum), but without the hassle of having to buy them from Germany.

Edit: looking at the website more close, they are the good quality F. Dick files, nice!

My friend the jeweler likes Vallorbe for very fine files, and was pointing out to me how eye watering the price of their engineers files was the other day.

Vegetable broth . Doing a bit cooking video with a machining twist .
Always gets a laugh , we all need to laugh more .

Acme threaded parsnips and 1/4 inch partially parted small swede. It might be a bit difficult putting a thread on peas & tomatoes though .

 

[Dapph2]

Don't be silly you can not knurl a carrot . Now a parsnip that is different .

Cut a thread lefthanded and righthanded on a morse taper using an eight start thread counter for both threads ..it will look knurled if you use a smallish thread

Everyone knows that peas should be galvanised.
