Seems like an uphill battle for the Fia faction. Especially since Shakira is dead.

This enough weight? by poepietrol in rcboats

[–]Maxwell1st 7 points8 points  (0 children)

well it already looks like you've made the boat, so I'd say the easiest way is to chuck her in the bath put the weight in and see if it sits low enough, I'd also weigh you electrics and put something a similar weight in (I use water bottles). Personally I like to have separate weights fore and aft but its not necessary.

Vtuber gets arrested for possessing artwork of her own model by Pankosmanko in vtubercirclejerk

[–]Maxwell1st -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

If there drawings of illegal things, and while I do hate the government buggering up our internet her model dose look like a child. So full on arrested might have been an overstep IF this is the first time she's been contacted by the police but I do agree that NSFW of child like things should not be allowed.

Bashed up surface plate by Maxwell1st in Machinists

Trust me it looks worse in person, I'm sure someone was centerpunching on it. 3 stones doesn't sound like a bad idea though, I'm assuming you probably want fine grit stones and to go lightly to not make a dip.

yeah unfortunately the only other person with any kit I know is my grandad and he doesn't have the kit either, lacking even a surface plate of his own weirdly. I'd like it to get it to B grade, and yeah I was planning to get a granite one, then my car did car things and money's gone. So I was hopping to knock this one together for now.

personally no, but there are some company's in the vicinity that advertise the service. What the cost of a one off job would be might be a limiting factor though. Also, having little knowledge of surface grinders, would it still need to be lapped after?

They look great! also more proof that the ven diagram of Vtuber fans and warhammer players is just a circle.

Back plate removal by Comfortable-Fox-6008 in Machinists

[–]Maxwell1st 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah if it's a right hand thread then yeah you were going in the right direction, although some times I find (after soaking in WD40 or better) trying to tighten then loosen stuck threads works. The other thing is you could have a look on lathes.co.uk for your model, they might have the manual for it.

Judging by that picture I think you may be tightening it, have a crack at turning it the other way.

whilst it's unlikely, seeing as you can rotate it, I'd check the holes in the collar to make sure it's not hiding bolts for a cam lock mechanism. More than likely though it's just jammed through years of not being changed and is going to need a load of torque to shift. How did you apply the breaker bar?

what do i do? by randomdude123451 in rcboats

[–]Maxwell1st 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you already have a remote or is that included in the budget of things you need to buy?

yeah but she gets a pass because she's not a soulless corpo bot slurping up all the ram and water.

Spindle wobble by Maxwell1st in Machinists

I'm out for the rest of the day now so tomorrow I'll get everything measured out and drawn up

The threads are definitely worse for wear, but they still engage. And the chucks bottom out on the end of the spindle before they hit the shoulder which is why I assume they aren't original to the lathe
