Hi ed, ive dropped you an email
Cheers ant

Are you going to convert the current amp to them or build a new one?
Id build another one rather than faffing with what you have already have

Or gove......

Yep sawing off and facing is my usual way of doing it, just the small size prevented that this time. I need to get some more brass in, and also to stop using black bar. Ok for prototyping but no idea what grade it is. I should really get some decent free cutting steel in I could do with a new partin...

Yep that the issue with most if not all lathes this size, they will face and turn steel perfectly well, but this arent big enough to part it. Only other thing i could try would be to get hold of one of those thin hss parting tools that have a holder, but they look too fragile for steel to me. Id rat...

Just attempted to turn up some heavier lateral weights to try, abandoned it because this lathe steadfastly refuses to part steel. Its just not rigid enough. Tried everything, cutting fluid, perfectly centred tool edge, various speeds, hss and carbide, and locking the gibs down tight. It starts to pu...

Or what was i doing yesterday After mostly finishing decorating the living room, i put the system back in. The fire hearth needs re finishing and the new carpet needs laying yet, so its not quite finished. Im not fitting it though, i hate fitting carpets ever since i did the stairs when we got the p...

I originally wanted the effective mass to be around 9/10g so that it would be fairly universal in terms of the cart compliance, so the 8.8 it was was about right. Without the damping in, the first carbon fibre wand came out about 7g which was abit too low, so the damping was adding a fair bit of mas...

The change that has made the most difference i think is the much smaller amount of damping in the arm tube. The reason for the ally cart mount is to get the effective mass back up after removing the damping in the tube, and the ally stub was because the setscrew in the counterweight was gouging the ...

revision 6. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51142657289_54e674305c_k.jpg Cx unipivot rev:6 by anthony cresswell , on Flickr changes as follows 1. counterweight stub is now aluminium instead of acetal 2. cart mount is now aluminium instead of acetal 3. arm tube damping is now 2 pieces, one 10mm l...

Ive watched a couple of formula e races and they were pretty good to watch, if abit wierd without the engine sounds. It was like watching f3 or f2 races in terms of the speed, they werent hitting 200 odd mph on straights Id like to see the cars at spa or imola, old school tracks, im not sure if they...

Vmn40 microline stylus is 200 quid, a complete vm540ml is 220.....

These at moving magnets are my go to carts. Ever since i heard the 440mlb. Ive used the at150sa, at150mlx, vm540ml and vm760slc. Plus the body you have with the atn 155lc. The 760slc is the new equivalent of that combo with the special line contact stylus. The best value cart in the range at the mom...

They set up pretty easily, nice and and angular so they are a doddle to line up. i had one of these bodies with an atn 155lc stylus on it for a bit
Any vm 5 or 7 series stylii should fit it too

Iirc, the cart is the same as the 120 family with pocc coils instead of occ coils.
The gold bit is painted plastic not metal
Perfectly adequete, basically the same as the old 120e
