[QUOTE="royrobertson, post: 148428, member: 2486"] Well done Vic. One thing I must mention is the Titanium swarf. It can be a Serious FIRE risk and once alight cannot be put out with Water. The way recommended is smother it with sand. Its was all in the pamphlet. Also it is a very poor transmitter of heat so one end can be very hot but just a couple of inches away cold. Finally when using HS taps where possible wind them right though without backing off. Use split dies and open up before removing. Any rubbing action will take the edge off any tooling then squeaking and total seizure can occur. Once a tap has seized there is no hope for the tap or the work. Bitter Experience here. The above also applies assembly of Nuts and Bolts. Use an anti-seize paste. Don't be put off by the above as Success is Wonderful. See what Vic Has Made. Cheers Roy [/QUOTE]
