On the way home with his, my bud stopped at the car wash and blasted his South Bend, then thoroughly went over it with WD-40 to chase the water out. (I think WD means water dispersing)

Hokay one of my mistakes was listing too many issues I have to deal with :rolleyes: I've thought about the plinth...24" x 48" x 4" will weigh 382 lbs. I'd add 2 eyes to it so it could be moved in the future (I have an HF engine hoist crane thing. I wouldn't mind putting this off for a little...

You Guys, Oh man it's going to take me quite soem time to get this thing in turning trim...I hope y'all can hang in there with me...I intended to do an Al pour today and also pour the concrete for the plinth but it's not happening, too many little things in the way in the shed... I should...

how about I pour a 6" plinth? Or more or less?

Hi all I'm looking for a machinist's level to set up my Atlas.

are you selling this because it's too sensitive?

Inclinometer vial, could maybe make a level with it, 4s accuracy: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Glass-Inclinometer-High-Accuracy-Tubular-Bubble-Level-Cylindrical-Spirit-Vials/322941264767?hash=item4b30cca37f:g:Nq4AAOSwUM5aNBUM 10s accuracy level, would need to make a tunable base for it...

well okay yeah now I'm concerned about the bench...it is wood after all and will move with humidity and the seasons...my shed has 2 x 12 joists and 3/4 ply floor. I have the metal bench it came with. It was never bolted to a floor: but I also have this, which I forgot about, I have so much...

Okay I loosely bolted the bed to the bench. DJP recommended diagonals and I tired sliding the bench out but it is pretty dang heavy...here's a pic of the detail of the corners I use, a bit of allthread with a bit of broom handle dowel cut in half, pulls the corner right up tight... A pic of a...

I had forgotten I did make a double 3/4 plywood top for my bench and doubled up on the 2 x 4 frame too... Picked up a length of 5/16 allthread, nuts, and washers to hold it down. Hopefully I can get on it Monday or Wednesday (Tues is out, too busy).

Okay I'll get it bolted down and be back...give me a few days it's so humid here I hardly can get anything done... One question, my bench has a 3/4 plywood top, I think it measures 2' x 4', will that be stiff enough or should I fab up a square tube frame for the bed to sit on?

Good idea but yeah I'm liking it as-is, it has a number hand painted on it which I assume is a catalog number from a factory somewhere. Lots of guys do like to paint theirs and I may do that someday but I need to see it running before I spend any energy on it. It looks like it has a bit of...

Yeh I need help with what to do first, then second...I want to do just one step at a time though. Awfully hot and humid here in New England, so I'd probably only be able to do one step per day/session... Oh good it looks like I can cut-and-paste here after all... Every website is...

Aha! Take the url of your remotely hosted pic and click on the "link" icon and paste the pic in the field. Yep ever notice how the internet has turned into a giant IQ test and you have to work your ass off for it (Them) instead of it working for you? They can pretty much train you to accept...

I've been a member for many years but never use the site and I've had my lathe for quite some time and need to get it going... I've got a bucket foundry and loads a scrap Al and a really great scrap metal dealer close by. I can get all the metal I can imagine except for hot rolled, and probably...

I'm in Haverhill, Massachusetts, USA. I'm also trying to make a donation and it's not letting me... My Atlas Craftsman: [/IMG] Looks like my pics aren't coming through from tinypic? Hokay so I set up an automatic subscription through Paypal. It went through to 7 Community something-or-other...
