Someone mentioned using modelling clay for removing chips from magnets on this list earlier.
I was thinking: Wrap it with cling wrap or maybe cover it with grease so the clay doesn't adhere and then cover it with clay. When finished, press all the swarf firmly into the clay and then remove the clay. Now that I've finished, I realize that the clay would probably get thrown off during the turning, but maybe the idea will lead to another solution. Back to lurking. Raymond Julian Kettle River, MN The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second. -John Steinbeck, novelist, Nobel laureate (1902-1968) On 09/07/2015 05:09 AM, andy pugh wrote: > I have a motor that would be about right for my lathe conversion, if > it didn't have a brake on the back.
