This tool room lathe discusion brought back some old memories when I was in college at East Texas State University in '69 when I was taking metal processes for the Industrial Arts teacher program. We had 16 lathes in the metal lab of various sizes from 4 ft. SBends to a 20 foot Drummond. We got...

Today I lucked out and scored some cast iron blocks 5 x 5 x 6 in with a single 1/2 hole in the middle. I found them at the local lawn mower repair center dead pile. They are front end weights used on 917-xx craftsman rear tine tillers. Each tiller has 2 and I sliced one up on my metal band saw...

I may have been lucky but my harbor table came out of the box well adjusted and oiled . I appears to be accurate but I have not really tried it on any thing requiring extreme accuracy. I need to make some change gears for my old 109 lathe so i will find out. I usually disassemble and refit any...

use a small boring tool to cut a concentric groove around the bore just as if you were going to install a snap ring in it. Butter the sleeve up liberally with the epoxy so the excess will be trapped in the grooves when the sleeve is pressed into the bore. Another possible repair is to bore...

i have had considerable experience resleeving hydrostatic valves in farm machinery with working pressures of the 10k psi range. Your procedure sounds correct. the problem is the pressure is getting under the sleeve at the inlet and vent holes. you need to create a pressure dam between the inlets...

I collect and restore Erector sets, and I find that they make excellent "breadboard" units to prove concept and actions. Many complicated models can be made with a limited number of standard parts available. The accuracy of fit can be compensated for by the use of custom parts such as bearing...

Brushable lacquer is self leveling so it did not need to be thinned to much , mostly to assist in the drying time. To much thinner made it to hot ( fast drying ). 5% seems to make it flow better thru the nozzel and gave an even coat and reduced the tendacy to run. If you are going to dip coat...
