- Well, that's frustrating. My full set of change gears are; 2×80, 2×60, 2×50, 45, 2×40, 35, 30, 2×20 00:26:26, 2016-02-29
- According to the list of gears usually bundled with a cheap 7×12 lathe, I'm missing the 65, 57 and 55 gears. 00:28:40, 2016-02-29
- I'm pretty sure the Chester Conquest lathe is a Sieg C3 variant so it looks like I need to do some shopping at Arc Euro Trade. 00:33:02, 2016-02-29
- Aaaand they're out of stock on the 55T gears. 00:38:15, 2016-02-29
- Bookmarking for the morning anyway. A special 63T gear may be advisable for both metric and imperial threads. 00:41:40, 2016-02-29
- It's also too tempting to buy a new cam-lock tailstock at this time of night. 00:43:12, 2016-02-29
- Ah, the metric lathe set omits those gears. Annoying. 00:45:25, 2016-02-29
- In the morning I'll double-check if my leadscrew is 1.5 or 2mm pitch in case I'm not recalling correctly. 00:49:08, 2016-02-29

- Oh my god. #GeorgeOsborne #BernardBlack https://t.co/2gUm6EAqoO 01:05:04, 2016-02-29
- For the price of a cam-lock tailstock, I could get a 4-jar chuck and make my own with it. 01:29:23, 2016-02-29

- The viral footage of landslides makes me wonder if there's a low-power way of accurately monitoring the relative location of many sensors. 13:57:40, 2016-02-29
- A theodolite & reflectors is how subsidence is monitored currently. Theodolites are really expensive & delicate though. 13:58:36, 2016-02-29
- They also require line of sight from a single centre point. 14:00:13, 2016-02-29
- @grahamguy That'd be the sort of thing I had in mind. Something that could be dropped like lawn-darts from a distance. Cheap & hands-off. in reply to grahamguy 14:02:30, 2016-02-29
- @grahamguy A cheap solar-light style PV panel would probably be enough to keep a BT radio running for a long time. Garden light chassis. in reply to grahamguy 14:07:52, 2016-02-29
- @grahamguy The math is beyond me. Conceptually I know it sounds like it should be possible, but I know little more than the concepts. in reply to grahamguy 14:09:27, 2016-02-29
- @grahamguy And these would only need to ping maybe a few times a day. Maybe increasing rate if there's more motion detected. in reply to grahamguy 14:13:21, 2016-02-29
- @grahamguy Ah, I see what you mean, good point. in reply to grahamguy 14:15:08, 2016-02-29

- Good, leadscrew is definitely 1.5mm pitch. 14:49:07, 2016-02-29
- I wonder what mod these gears are? 14:57:00, 2016-02-29
- Okay, the Sieg c3 has Mod 1 changegears on a 12mm shaft. This increases my options to more than whatever's in the catalogue. 15:07:50, 2016-02-29
- A 127 tooth gear would allow me to do both metric and imperial threads on this metric lathe. Gear is about £40. 15:11:08, 2016-02-29
- 67 gives better results though according to calculator? Err, okay? 15:13:38, 2016-02-29
- Damn. The gears available on BearingBoys are all 15mm width. Double the width of the other changegears. Could maybe cut with slitting saw? 15:22:43, 2016-02-29
