Oh John, for us over here "on the other side of the pond" it is exceedingly interesting what is being said about Donald in his own country. We all wonder who these Americans actually are that encourage him on his hate campaign and may even elect him... Keep writing! Peter Am 08.06.2016 18:53,

Re: [Emc-users] Cutting cast iron with a dry diamond blade

Gene, cast iron is easy to cut, mill and turn because it contains lots of carbon, better known as graphite which is a natural solid lubricant. Using water in addition, if any, is merely for cooling and carrying away the debris. However, if the casting has been cooled very rapidly, it may be

Re: [Emc-users] 7mmx1.0 decently hard cap screw, how scarce are they?

Gene, M7 screws are as rare as white raven since this thread is only printed in fine italics the DIN book. The only place I know of them being used is for fastening the cooler fan of some Renault vehicles, but merely in left handed version. No kidden. The French are supposed to use M7 more

Re: [Emc-users] Special cables

Andy, any PVC cable will be damaged by oil environment as the softeners (phthalates) are dissolved or washed out by the oleic acids and oleates, hardening the insulation and thus adding flexure strain to the copper strands. Caoutchouc (india rubber or synthetic rubber) cables will in turn

It wasn't the recycling, but certain softening compounds in PVC were suspected to cause cancer and reduced by law. This war aimed at children's toys and other playstuff, but hit wire insulation as well (though nobody would use wire insulation for a lolly). Furthermore, machine oil and above

Re: [Emc-users] collets for this motor?

I can very well understand Gene's feelings :-) This method of fastening chucks was used before self-centering chucks were introduced, chucks weren't supposed to be changed a lot at all. It has been used on dividing heads longer than on lathes and has long been replaced by the camlock system.
