"Rose Bud"!

I'm seriously considering the new South Bend 8 x 18 #1001 lathe. Has anyone actually touched one, yet ?

I have an unusual but happy situation with my fiancé. She wants to use my shop tools and help me build projects. Her entire family members are artisans , so it is in her blood.

Sodium bicarbonate?

Thanks, Dean. I see that it is made in China. The 10K is made in Taiwan. I would buy the 10K if it was not that heavy. I move around too much and the SB1001 is big enough for my hobby. I'm still holding out for a rebuilt Light 10.

Im thinking that if I can't find a cherry condition Light 10 or, Prazi, that I will buy the Taiwan made South Bend 8x18 lathe. It will do all that I need for a scale model maker and the light weight is a consideration for my nomadic lifestyle.

There is an SD-400 Prazi on EBay now for $2,000.00. New condition but with minor problem. I really like this lathe but very difficult to find used...

I want one!

My heart throbs for the South Bend Light 10 lathe. I'm looking for a rebuilt or lightly used machine with very good paint. I would gladly pay what the Chinese South Bend sells for a Light 10.

Thanks for all of the intelligent advice. It will be very interesting to do the test with weight on the end of the winch line. Kindregards, Giovanni

The combination of the larger motor and gear ratios of the transmission makes it very powerful. I already have a motor data recorder that downloads to my PC. It records everything, including temperature of the motor. I will consider the counterweight method that you are recommended. That is a...

The speed to pull the 1,000sq.in. sail completely in is less than 3 seconds. The sail winch that i'm building is like a super-sized RC aircraft servo but with an exoskeleton made in aluminum. The motor is an MFA DC 360 http://www.mfacomodrills.com/motors/360.html The geared transmission is...

I need to test each winch to document the winch model and also before each one is sold. The test needs to be for speed, newtons and ounces/inches. I need it for other designs, as well. Would also like to video the test and show it on YouTube and link it to the future website. The winches will...

I am building a radio control winch for sailboats. It uses a 6-12 volt dc motor that drives a geared transmission with an output shaft that turns at 300 degrees. The output shaft is a 5K potentiometer that is connected to a digital motor controller. I'm going to build 12 of these for my fellow...

The tool needs to hook up to the servo arm. The servo on the right is the one. http://www.theamya.org/hints/sailservo.php Maybe this meter. http://www.huatest.com/en/product_view_13_138.html

What kind of digital tool can be used for measuring torque on a radio control servo?

Should a machinist use a stick to hold the emery clothe as to not get wrapped up in the lathe?

All of this has me thinking of not ever buying Chinese lathes! I would rather buy US or European makes. :-\

I have used the Oatey #5 for soft solder for decades haven't tried the silver solder paste. I may try that soon. I have used a boron-based flux for decades for high-temp silver soldering with great success. I use silflos stick solder for everything except steam boilers.
