ive been building a quick change toolpost for my Southbend and my 7x10. I picked up a rough set of free plans on the net. The 7x10 is made to plans, and with the SB ,I increased the cam rod inside and outside diameters to offer more area to tighten on the bottom flange, made a little taller...

In my defense I have watched a boatload of different videos including Lars . With his help I was able to start drawing right away so no fault of his. Somewhere someone posted its best to find a program that thinks how you view the part. I'm looking for "design intent", not how to model, and...

I've been messing with fusion for about a year off and on, and with moderate success. I also had to scrap all the learning lessons from autodesk and just dive in making a model. Just diving in goes against most of my learning intuition, but seems to be the way to learn fusion. I still have a...

Looks good. Did u make it or buy. ? I've been looking into tables for a small surface grinder setup and this setup may work.

Awesome, just what I needed. Thanks.

I seen one of these run at the craftmanship museum in Carlsbad California, and I do believe their is also a small description on the website, that may be of some help. Very neat idea but, of note is that it was running inside off of the sunlight thru the window glass. I'm sure it really kicks...

the cheap plastic handles on my mill have broken too many times so I ordered cast iron from grizzly. For a decent price I was able to get all three for 40$. They come un machined to fit. My mill uses the word the three prong cog. My question is how to make the cut. What I do know is...

Here is a pic of my small setup. This is obviously not the size you are talking about as this is a 7x10. And is perfect size for my toolbox. I to run into issues with my feet but I would rather deal with that then bending over constantly trying to see my work. Granted I would not use a...

Looking for info regarding bronze bearing fits. I looked around for some info, and wasn't able to find a situation similar to mine, so thought I could ask you all. These are bearing for a hit and miss crankshaft, and with bolt down caps. I'm wondering about the squeeze on the bearing, and...

The Carbide drill in my pic is 2.5 mm so they are rather small. I've used them a couple few times and have had no problem snapping. They actually went thru rather easily. I broke it down to the level surface then lightly applied pressure progressively. Also worked on a countersink bit...

For broken taps, solid carbide will drill right through. After this there a plethora of options, but you can chip it away , they break away rather easily, and if you can take out the center with drilling u can pick out just the threads, or maybe get enough bite for a screw extractor. I have...

Through my info research I think I ran across a thread using these wheels on a everyday grinder., but also with a made backplate. The pic seems to show a backing plate , and seems to use the center hole for placement and four holes for mounting. So for safety sake I will add a plate and...

ok fellows, some follow up on this post. I ordered the three wheels you see here. I do have a ? Regarding mounting. I assumed I would need to make arbors to center fit the grinder shaft to the wheel center hole. How much coverage is needed on the wheel. The plate mount has 4 mount...

I did run across a YouTube video showing reuse of insert cutters. The interesting thing was he took the top side and ground down into the insert, that removed any rake or chip cutter. Ended up similar to a flat carbide insert, while maintaining strength. I do think he used coolant and a diamond...

Thanx everyone one for their posts. Goldstar, As I've been working thru the issue of cutter grinding, I have noticed a few issues with the lathe. My setup for gearing is 40 threads per inch, and what I'm seeing is the actual thread using a non threading tip. My finish is very consistent just...

i am setting up a grinder station to grind my tools and have ?s regarding wheel types used. First off I will be grinding lathe bits, drills, and possibly endmills. I have the Harold hall grinding jig book on the way to help with angles. My question is more of what kind of wheel to use...

Maybe check out the machinery handbook, It gives dowel size that accounts for spring exspanion so maybe save you a few extra operations

I don't know much anything about projector style machine but did find one In a junk pile that worked when I was a kid. If I remember correctly it was a bell and Howell that used a metal drive quite similar to the drives on wilesco steam engines. It looks like a spring that locks in itself They...

Not meaning to hijack the thread , but I have a question on the bore gage use. How do you know that the guage is centered in the bore when you tighten. When I was using them I had to adjust till it felt centered then tighten , even so it took me a few times to get a repeatable reading. Now...

kinda cool to see another Greenville native on hmem. It's a tiny cornfield blip on the map andI grew up on the other side of town. I now live in Texas , but do remember going plenty of times to the steam thresher reunion. I am looking into possibly anodizing my current motor but will be a...
