“Matrix” Type TS Universal Pitch-Measuring Machine, by Coventry Gauge & Tool Co. This item is in excellent condition, having been purchased from a university metrology department some years ago. It is capable of measuring internal and external threads up to about 8” diameter (200mm) with very high accuracy, both Imperial and Metric. (Whit-form and USS, 4-40tpi; Unified, 4-36tpi; Metric, 0.5 – 6mm pitch; BA, 0-6; CEI, 20-40tpi.) The machine is exquisitely made, and absolutely complete with original cabinet stand, with accessories storage and glass cover, and full set of all the original accessories and standard reference thread. The accessories include a Burnerd high-precision 3-jaw chuck, currently well over £600 new! Also included are the original manuals, NPL-traceable test certificates for both machine and reference thread, and the NPL machine specification. It’s very hard to price a rarity like this, and I’m not looking for anything like its real value, as I would rather someone had it to use, and I had the space! I’m open to negotiation on price so by all means contact me to discuss this. It’s “small lathe” sized, and you would need a small van. (Private sale).

Hi, in his book "Model Boilers & Boilermaking", K.N. Harris describes a modified Cornish type of boiler (Design No.3 in the appendix). He states that 'it was one that he had designed a good few years back as one of a series and was illustrated and described in the Model Engineer'. Does anyone know where I can get hold of a copy of this article?

I know this may be a long shot but I'm am looking for a 1 1/16" x 16 TPI Unified form die, either carbon or hss and preferably split type but I will take a solid or dienut. It needs to be in reasonable condition but not necessarily new as I've only got a couple of existing threads to extend (hence I can't cut them in the lathe and be sure of the match) so a slightly used one will do. It must be Unified form, Whitworth isn't a close enough match for this job. I've rung around the normal suppliers and this seems to be a special on long delivery, etc. I'm based in Ireland and happy to pay postage from where ever. Thanks in anticipation, Tim

For Sale. Still available, due to time-waster! ASTRA Milling Machine. Horizontal Mill with Astra standard geared Vertical Head. Model L4 (See Tony Griffiths' website at www.lathes.co.uk/astra/index.html for details). Fitted 0.5 HP single phase motor. Four spindle speeds. Complete with standard 1" arbour (2 MT) and full set of spacers. Fitted with DRO for vertical travel. Long table. This machine is just too chunky for my needs - old habits die hard, and I still prefer to do small milling jobs in the lathe. I know there's no helping some people! In good overall condition, and complete with original cabinet stand. The machine is heavy (2-3 man), and can be separated from its stand for transport. Buyer would need to collect - you'll need either a large estate car or a van. May be viewed by arrangement (Swansea area). I'm open to sensible offers, and to giving any further details on request by e-mail. Contact me on chargelabs[at]gmail.com (Private sale)

Hello all. We are looking for a Myford Super 7 lathe as a present for a very dear friend. So far the only one we have seen are on the used section of Myford (very expensive) or on Ebay (a bit risky?) and they are all far away (we are based in Edinburgh). Is there anybody in Scotland or in the North of England who has a Super 7 languishing in a corner? It would be collected and paid for quickly and without fuss. Many thanks.

Last month I requested ideas for a clutch system for my Atlas 6” lathe, and I would like to thank everyone who came up with suggestions. I ended up with a very simple and cheap idea which I thought maybe of some assistance to others. Although is looks very “Heath Robinson-ish”, it works extremely well and my fear regarding belt wear was unfounded. As my drive motor hangs on a pivot plate (which gives the drive-belt it’s tension and has a clearance of 1.25” over the bench), I decided to lift the motor to disengage the drive. This I achieved with two tapered wedges, one attached to the underside of the pivot plate, the other on a pivot arm that rests and pivots on the bench, this ensures that when engaged, the motor is securely held in place. A push arm runs along the bench under the lathe which when pushed in engages the motor, and when pulled back lifts the motor, thus disengaging the drive. I also utilised the idea that Graham Howe(ME4320 dated 29/2/2008)come up with to contain the drive belt when the motor is disengaged, and it works well in conjuction with my wedge design. I made the wedges and pivot arm from Tufnol, as it acts as a self lubricating bearing surface, and as the wedges are wearing in they are becoming smoother and easier to use. I made this whole device from odds and ends that I had laying around, and my only expense was my time. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and thanks again for the massive response I had to my original enquiry.

This is a precision made machine which, whilst compact, is sturdily made, and will fit almost any work-bench.(it is about the size of a small BCA jig borer) It has a lever operated table, which is ideal for gear cutting. It should be relatively simple to fit hand wheel driven lead-screws, however, I found the existing system works very well for a wide range of operations. It is fitted with a large powerful 3 phase motor, which I estimate to be 1 HP (although this is only an estimate) needless to say it will tackle most materials without hesitation. Surface rust has accumulated whilst in storage, but this can be removed quite easily, and all bearings and slides move smoothly and freely, and appear to be in good working order. Price £350.00 ono.

I'm looking for the HSS "part of a disk" type thread cutting inserts where the edge of the tool is ground to match the thread shape and you simply grind the flat top of a sector to sharpen the tool. I'd especially like the Dormer / SKF versions having two complete thread forms on the cutting edge, the few I have are about 1 3/4 inches diameter and numbered 1188-3. I'd also like a single point 60 degree insert for the Andycraft / Denford holder. These appear to be unobtainable new. Thanks.

All reasonable costs etc happily reimbursed. Many Thanks. David Tyler PS MAybe interested in any castings, frames etc as well.

When I was in the forces in Holland some of the people that had been there during the occupation told me that during the war when there was no petrol available many local businesses continued to operate their trucks by putting some sort of boiler in the back which produced "wood gas" which was collected and fed into their engines. I have been trying for some time now to find out more about these boilers, how they worked, how the gas was collected and fed into the engine, in fact anything at all. Eventually I would like to try and produce a small scale copy of one to see how well it worked. I was told that each time they stopped, the driver would chuck a few logs into the thing and it would go on producing the gas to drive the vehicle. If anybody knows anything, has any photographs or drawings or information, please get in touch. Thank you Dave Hodgson

Milling/drilling attachment for a TOYO 360/Proxxon/Record Lathe. This little milling head is designed to fit behind these lathes and turn them into a mini machining centre. It is also still, with the addition of a compound table, available as a stand alone vertical mill. This particular head was bought to do one job and has run less than 2 hours from new. Complete with collet chuck but no collets. These are available either from Proxxon of Rejon machine tools. The bracketry to fit it behind the lathe has gone missing but would be easy to fabricate.

It has a 1" spindle and some spacers, and has recently been overhauled and painted, so is ready to work. Choice of 1 phase or 3 phase motor! also comes with a part built vertical head attachment, the head itself is virtually finished, but the attachment to the mill needs to be built. The guy who was making it unfortunatly passed away, and didn't leave any drwaings, so you will have to sort that out yourself! Machine will fit into a reasonable size car boot for transport. £200

Hi everyone. I am again looking for some advice. I have an excellent 10" Atlas lathe and I am wanting to somehow make a clutch to the drive system so that I can leave the motor running whilst stopping the chuck. This will obviously reduce the electricity costs as well as prolonging the motor life, but I can't for the life-of-me see how it can be done easily without wearing out the vee belt very quickly. I'm hoping that one of you have had this problem in the past and have a simple solution. Thanks for reading this.

Hi guys, Im after a few things so I hope you can help. Firstly a small dividing head with tailstock that I can use on a medium size milling table. A boxford travelling steady, and I've just completed a 1" minnie traction engine and therefore I'm after a new project, a 2" traction engine or perhaps a 3.5" or 5" locomotive. Castings or incomplete model would be considered and I can travel to collect if not too far from me.......Thank you for looking at my AD Regards .....................Lee

I have yet another large stock of rose wood (sonokoling) off cuts that are too good and expensive to use as fire-wood. They are a useful size for making handles and they turn beautifully giving a superb redish/brown grain. They are also an ideal size for such items as pull-cord handles, lace bobbins, wooden pen/pencils, small button feet, etc. I have some 300 random pieces 1.25” x 1.25” (with or without the corners removed) and between 3” and 5” long (some may even be longer) Make me an offer. I am based in Hampshire, I can arrange commercial transportation at cost if required. I will consider any reasonable offer, and you can contact me on 07796-148966.

I have still a “Heathway” 4.25” glass-working lathe to sell. I believe that this is an early 1980’s machine and just prior to storing, it was given a full service. It is fitted with two scroll chucks, and whilst there is some wear in these chucks they still run true when gripping glass. The lathe is short bedded and fitted with a full length rear tooling bar, which is unusual for a lathe of this size. An on/off switch, together with a forward and reverse variable speed control knob, are fitted as standard. This machine came out of a laboratory workshop so has seen very little production use. I am based in Hampshire, but I can arrange commercial transportation at cost if required. You can contact me on 07796-148966

To Buy, 3½ inch gauge only Pacifics, either or both of LMS Duchess and SR Merchant Navy or West Country (streamlined – not rebuilt) - must be finely engineered and in excellent condition, not necessary that they be capable of being steamed - to add to collection of UK purchased Clarkson LNER A3 & A4, Jackson LMS Princess and LBSC BR Britannia and A1/1 Hielan Lassie. No issue with paying well for top quality. I travel to UK a couple of times each year so no problem in meeting interested sellers. Does anyone know the whereabouts of the Dennis Evans built 3½ inch gauge Duke of Gloucester? Also wanted to buy: complete set of drawings for LBSC’s “Pamela” – his 3½ inch gauge rebuild of the Merchant Navy Class Pacific; also two Clarkson A3 drawings; nos. PAC/5 (Engine brakes, Bogie, buffers) and ST/3 (Standard non-corridor 8 wheel tender). I am also trying to decode a 3½ inch gauge boiler marking – “HC&S – 84” (possibly Harry Clarkson & Son 1984? – I thought Clarkson’s had been sold by 1984).
