This is for a Craftex CX600 mill/drill, right? I think a 6 inch vise would be too big so you'll probably want a 4 or 5 inch size. A lot of people seem to like screwless vises (aka grinding vises) especially in the somewhat smaller sizes. I don't have any direct experience with these though...

@Old Guy The HSS tool you attempted to use looks dull to me. See the bright line along the cutting lip: The leading corner of the tool does all the cutting. It should be very sharp and you should expect to hone it periodically to keep it from rounding over. I like to use diamond paddles...

Offended? Not at all. It was a tad frustrating, though, that after I put a fair amount of time and effort into preparing step-by-step instructions that you took a few tries before you actually followed the instructions step-by-step! ;) Nonetheless, all's well that ends well. Glad you got to...

That would be why I gave you step-by-step instructions! Anyway, glad you seem to able to post some pictures now. I'll let someone else write up how to prepare a video in a format suitable to upload to the web site. Craig

What application are you using to open the pics on your Mac? How do photos get from the iPhone to the Mac? Do you connect a cable or did someone set you up with iCloud Photo Sharing? I've been trying to help but you've never given enough specific information for anyone to understand exactly...

Congratulations, you posted a message with photos attached. How did you do it? Craig

No, I'm not uploading directly from the iPhone. Each of the many screenshots I've posted show clickable buttons--not tap targets as one would see in iOS apps. Craig

To others, what is the file size limit for this forum? I'm able to upload a 4.4 MB (see following). OldGuy apparently got an error message but his device might be creating bigger photo files than my 3 year old iPhone. Craig

If the homemodelenginemachinist.com website gave you the "file too big" error message, you were actually VERY close to the finish line! And we can fix it! When you export the photo from the Photos application, we have to do an extra step or two. When you have brought up the photo that you...

Any idea what was causing the arcing? Was there a loose connection on the burned side? What else is/was on the circuit? BTW, you say 20 amps but I thought all 20 amp outlets had the horizontal slot, like: Craig

Let's start with the photos. From your description, it seems you are using the Photos application from Apple. You were on the right track by opening the picture you want to upload here and then selecting the "Export 1 Photo..." command from Export submenu on the File menu. That should bring...

As a start, could you tell us what device you used to take the pictures and record the video? Have you transferred these files to a personal computer (what operating system). Have you tried using the "Attach files" and/or "Upload Video" buttons to get the files onto this web site? Is so, was...

Have you looked at the Canadian Hobby Metalworkers forum? Example threads: https://canadianhobbymetalworkers.com/threads/need-a-dro-what-one-to-get.2193/ https://canadianhobbymetalworkers.com/threads/milling-machine-dro.3352/ Craig

Blondihacks uses a Precision Matthews PM1022. It is almost identical to my Busybee CX706 (Canada). Grizzly in the US also sells virtually the same machine by another name. As you say, yours is similar but has separate feed v. threading drive rods. I like yours! You may be able to find...

Do all "Craigs" end up in machining? Another board I'm on has 3 Craigs, all from Canada. (Well, it is the Canadian Hobby Machinists forum, but still). Nonetheless, welcome! Craig ("Call me whatever you want, just don't call me late for dinner!")

I'll give you $2 for it! ;) Craig

Um, the factory will only get paid for their work if the QC person agrees that the product meets the agreed-upon metrics. If the QC person hasn't signed off, the purchasing company is not going to accept the shipment. Either way, the factory doesn't get paid without the QC approval. How do...

My bench would say the guy in front of it is aging! Craig

Thanks for the explanation. That's quite cool and looks useful in certain circumstances. For cross-border purchases, I use a service in Lewistown, NY from time to time. It is about 2 hours driving to make a round trip so there's a trade-off on that versus what seems like punitive direct...
