Morning All
We have had a little rain, but not much, so it is no test of the faulty leaking window frame.
Got the paper, what a lot of fuss over the Sussexes! Cant' see the point of them TBH.
Having the jitters over my conservatory re-build and "what could go wrong".
Anyway. have a nice day everyone.

Pardon me for asking, cos i is ignorant as feck when it comes to turning and milling, but why no lube?

That was the first cut, handheld phone video so I couldn't squirt coolant on at the same time! On subsequent deeper cuts I used WD40 as a light cutting oil.
I am not a fan of mist or flood coolant in a home workshop so I tend to use Rocol or WD40 only.
Well spotted though

If you is turning stool legs on that fing do you use linseed oil?

Guid morn
Dropped son off at Park Mains High, school usually arranges a taxi as its not his high school but he has to go there for a single lesson !
Cannot do any work from home as it seems the server is down and cannot access any folders.
So looks like it'll be pottering about in the garage in stead, or will I go for my daily walk, mmm decisions decisions

If I used it for wood, I would be taken outside and severely beaten by the Centec owners club......

You could whittle a baseball bat so you can warrant the quality of the implement they’d use to educate

I took apart an old milling vice to restore. Considering it has been under the bench for around 15 years, it is in pretty good shape! I have spent a little time with oxide paper and WD40 just to see if it was worth the effort.

Good evening from avonmouth
Made it each way over the restricted bridge.
Think I’m in for a windy sleep tonight.

Do you trust WD40 to be a lube then? I am very wary of it, When drilling which is about all the machining I do, I'll use 3in1. I think the difference is that ATF for instance is a fantastic lubricant but does it have the qualities needed when cutting metal?
Could start a whole thread on this!
PS I feckin hate working with stainless particularly due to its propensity to work harden in nothing flat and then eat drilling bits.
Found this which is quite interesting,
https://www.thomasnet.com/articles/...ol steels and tough,mineral-fatty oil is used.

and discovered that WD do make a cutting lubricant!

I have been using standard WD40 for cutting aluminium and mild steel for as long as I can remember. The Rocol is for tapping and heavier cuts / harder materials. I have not used 3 in 1 as a cutting oil but I will give it a go. I am always will to try stuff as no one can know it all

Well it p!ssed down all day here. so doubly happy with what i did yesterday.
Done nothing significant today.
Not even the paperwork I said I'd do.
I'd better pull my socks up or Wifey will have me for brekfus!
Had to have dinner at lunchtime today as Wifey will be on the dreaded "evacuation" liquid as of 7 o'clock tonight.
Not looking forward to tomoz and Friday.
Have a nice evening folks!
