The Metalworks Workshop In this section I am including a large number of designs for workshop equipment that I have had published in the Model Engineers’ Workshop magazine over the twenty years that I had been writing for it. In addition to the workshop items, many of my articles on workshop processes are also included. The additions are an ongoing project and new pages are still being added. All the necessary drawings are included together with details of the manufacturing methods. Further pages includes workshop tips, workshop data such as drill sizes for tapping and the gallery showing a few of the items I have made. Copyright Material Do feel free to make copies of the drawings, or the data charts, for your personal use remembering that the contents of the pages are copyright material and not to be used beyond that purpose. I am happy for viewers to extract photographs from my site to add to a forum, or similar, to highlight some item being made.
Kern And Burn | A Publication About Design Entrepreneurship My dead hard drive story - StumbleUpon Turning Information Center Welcome to Michigan Technological University's Turning Information Center!! We hope to educate and inform the public about current technology and research relating to Turning. Below are the areas that we currently have on the net. What is turning? Turning is the machining operation that produces cylindrical parts. Even though a single-point tool is specified, this does not exclude multiple-tool setups, which are often employed in turning. View a typical turning operation. Adjustable cutting factors in turning The three primary factors in any basic turning operation are speed, feed, and depth of cut. Speed, always refers to the spindle and the workpiece. Feed, always refers to the cutting tool, and it is the rate at which the tool advances along its cutting path. Depth of Cut, is practically self explanatory. Return to Top The lathe, of course, is the basic turning machine. Boring. Facing. Parting. Threading. Tool Geometry. The turning machines are, of course, every kinds of lathes. Go to:
Hoody! | Find trusted services near you. Get Internet Access When Your Government Shuts It Down These days, no popular movement goes without an Internet presence of some kind, whether it's organizing on Facebook or spreading the word through Twitter. And as we've seen in Egypt, that means that your Internet connection can be the first to go. Whether you're trying to check in with your family, contact your friends, or simply spread the word, here are a few ways to build some basic network connectivity when you can't rely on your cellular or landline Internet connections. Do-It-Yourself Internet With Ad-Hoc Wi-Fi Even if you've managed to find an Internet connection for yourself, it won't be that helpful in reaching out to your fellow locals if they can't get online to find you. Advanced freedom fighters can set up a portal Web page on their network that explains the way the setup works, with Daihinia instructions and a local download link so they can spread the network even further. Back to Basics Always Be Prepared In the land of no Internet connection, the man with dial-up is king.
Start Model Engineering Poll: Where did you get your site/app's Terms of Service & Privacy Policy wordpress.com's TOS is . Using WordPress.com's TOS is a (in my view) if sections 11 and 12 are left in their present form. Those sections could get you into the same type of legal trouble as Blockbuster's TOS got them into in 2009, in the case. I've mentioned this here before, so I hate to sound like a broken record, but it seems worth repeating. At a minimum, get your lawyer to review very carefully, and edit, the language of those sections. They do have a term "If any part of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that part will be construed to reflect the parties’ original intent, and the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect." This probably won't be good enough, though, as the "We can do anything we like" term can't be made good. But that doesn't explain how you would resolve a part which only conflicts with a few other parts. But ... I used the Automattic privacy policy as a starting place as well. # Small intro The tough truth?
Kickstarter of the Week: Plant-In City Offers an Internet of Vegetation | Wired Design Plants are the best. They’re pretty, they clean the air, they’re good listeners, and they don’t eat your furniture. On the downside, they need regular care, and they’re lousy communicators. Designers Huy Bui, Carlos J. Plant-In City is a modular series of frames that can be combined to create a customized plant habitat. Click to Open Overlay Gallery “It started from a simple idea: Can we water our plants remotely with our iPhones while traveling or off site?” But as the team dove deeper into the design, their vision grew. Even as budding horticulturalists, de Llarena admits there was a period of learning as they developed the project. They’ve fostered better communication by beaming the levels of light, humidity, moisture and temperature to the Internet, which will be accessible via Plant-In’s website or through mobile apps. The modular box system is key to creating a pleasing space. Images Courtesy of the Plant-In City team. Go Back to Top.
RepRapWiki TEDxEWB Talk: Adrian Bowyer at Imperial College, London, introduces RepRap RepRap is humanity's first general-purpose self-replicating manufacturing machine. RepRap takes the form of a free desktop 3D printer capable of printing plastic objects. RepRap is about making self-replicating machines, and making them freely available for the benefit of everyone. Reprap.org is a community project, which means you are welcome to edit most pages on this site, or better yet, create new pages of your own. RepRap was the first of the low-cost 3D printers, and the RepRap Project started the open-source 3D printer revolution. RepRap was voted the most significant 3D-printed object in 2017. RepRap state-of-the-art is well represented by John Mulac's Mulbot and Mike Jeffs' ReprapMJ. About | Development | Community | RepRap Machines | Resources | Policy
A/B Testing Tool | Split Testing and Multivariate Testing Software - Visual Website Optimizer How to make a tablet pc from an old laptop Check out my other projects:Xbox Hackintosh casemod AndDIY Spy phone In this project i used an old Fujitsu Siemens life book S series laptop. It has got a 1 Ghz processor and 256 Mb ram, (not sure about the graphic card but i know its between 8-32 Mb). In this project you will need: 1.Old laptop 2. And if you are doing the hard way you will also need: 6.Lots of straight plastic 7.Something to melt down the plastic 8. The skils you will need to make this are: 1. And of course for the hard way you will also need: 5.Problem solving skills 6.Serious knowledge how things work 7.Way to know how to make "special" tools 8. And sorry for my English its not my main language but i will try to make it readable :D
April 2010 Lately I've been needing some travel stops for the X axis (the table) of my Taig Mill. I finally broke down and just hacked out a pair. I didn't any design work and just made them up as I went along. The project started by finally figuring out that the front t-slot of my Taig Mill table would accept #4 nuts. I started with a piece of 1/2" square free machining steel. I started milling a tongue that would fit in the front t-slot of the table to keep the stop horizontal. Finished tongue. I used an end mill to get below the level of the surface as the drill for a #4 screw is just about the width of the tongue. I flipped the piece and counterbored for the screw heads with a 3/16" end mill. I sawed the piece in half. I faced both ends flat of each stop. I had to cut the screws to the right length (I use an electricians crimper that has screw shearing holes built in). As you can see the #4 hex nut is a sliding fit in the t-slot. The finished stop.
