    I'm getting into 2mm finescale because I don't love the performance of N-gauge streamline points and trackwork. Hoping the smaller gaps will make a difference!

    They absolutely do, but in my experience the best way is with PCB sleepers and rail rather than plastic or hybrid kits. Good luck! Check out RMweb’s 2mm sub forum

    @@williamsworkshopuk oh, good shout, I'd just started an order for a bunch of 2mm Scale Association Easitrac sleepers and Finetrax point kits... was hoping that would be straightforward and reliable! might need to look into learning how to use the various jigs then 😄

    yeah, tbh there's a lot of value in momentum - I have in mind to make a 2mm Inglenook on the opposite corner of a 120x20mm reclaimed baseboard to my existing N-gauge Inglenook. Just need eight wagons, a loco, and reliable couplings and points - but generally a low-stakes experimentation project!

    Hi William, I do hope you didnt move the table 1 1/4" I think the drawing says 1 1/8" i did that and made the throw too big. enjoying your vids, they are inspiring me to get my finger out and finish fitting new boiler to my current maid. Then get on with another I stripped to paint so long ago, I am going have fun finding all the nuts and bolts

    Seems like the arbour is turning the wrong direction so it’s undoing the nut. Maybe reverse it? But then you are climb cutting, so maybe come at the workpiece from the other direction?

  • @williamsworkshopuk
    @williamsworkshopukАй бұрын

    Yeah - really the problem is that I hadn't used a drawbar on the arbor, so it was able to extend out and brush the inside face of the overarm support bearing.

  • @DubStudioCreateVinyl

    @@williamsworkshopuk That makes sense. I am debating adding a key way to my C2a arbor… it just seems like it has way more power than it is able to unleash. Some have suggested the lack of keyway is a kind of safety feature, but I want to try some slab cutting and I am just not sure that nut will do the job.

    In the Netherlands Emco and Myford has become cult brands and expansive. I can buy a mint condition Schaublin or AI hembrug for the same price or less. I never seen Emco and Myford in the high end workshops like those of Oldelft and Philips. But i saw AI Hembrug and Schaublin there. I dont have to think long about which one to buy.

    I quite simply cannot understand the fascination with Myford lathes, particularly when you have just pointed out all the faults. My brother in law has one, plus a larger type of mini lathe. He seems to use the mini lathe far more than the Myford., which he bought because it was being offered at a really good price, only a couple of 100's, but the he doesn't use it. A full spec Connoisseur is now nearly £13K new, a Chester Coventry Pro is 1/2 that, others are available. I just bought a Chester Bristol VS with CSS, ex university, less than 12 years old for 1/2 the price of the Myford. I don't need to worry about the hole down the spindle, it's 52mm.

    Myford no longer exist, they are not "owned by RDG Tools", the same family which owns RDG bought the rights to the Myford brand but the Myford factory in Nottingham was closed, gutted and all the machinery sold at auction, parts are now manufactured in Poland or further afield. You should have bought yourself a Long Bed for 3 feet between centres, all your other moans are largely dealt with by buying a Super7 instead of your "Poverty Spec" ML7. Your bed is Cast Iron, do read up on the stuff you're planning to spout about!

    Some of the Earliest Model Railways built in Britain before World War Two, were "finescale" (by the standards of the time), as clearly seen at Pendon Museum, Long Whittenham, Near Didcot today. Which maintains a pre-war layout called "Madda Valley". Virtually everything in those days had to be handbuilt as there was almost NOTHING commercially available !!

    The original chuck setup allows you to centre the part by loosening the three bolts. Then snug them back and tap the chuck body until its running perfect.
