Scott (and Lew)
I have a FIMS toolholder, and they also adjust with
a setscrew, so that is another possibility. On my FIMS the setscrew goes in the
top of the holder at about the middle of the inside of the V, and picks up
a post which protrudes from the tool post. If yours doesn't look like the Ebay
picture of the KDK Jim pointed to they could be FIMS. I don't have a
picture handy unfortunately.

Hi Scott
Sounds like the holders may be KDK holders. I have a KDK and it adjusts that way. Just got an Aloris; like it a lot better. See eBay item 1748614775. do they look like that?

Aloris AXA question
Scott Fuller <sefuller@...>
I recently purchased an Aloris AXA piston style toolpost (used) with a
few toolholders. I don't believe the holders are Aloris, and they look a little different than what I have seen in most pictures. Instead of a thumbwheel and nut for height adjustment, they have a set screw that goes down through the bottom of the holder. The problem I have is that the set screw doesn't hit anything - it comes down outside the edges of the compound rest. It looks like there is room for a 1/4" thick disk between the compound rest and the bottom of the toolpost - is there supposed to be something like this? Also, a few of the holders will lock on one side of the post, but not on the other side. Is there an adjustment for how far out the pistons travel, or some other way to adjust this? Better yet, is there an online instruction manual or exploded diagram of the piston style holder? Thanks, -- Scott Fuller Milwaukee, WI

Mortor Hi-Pro key
puckles1 <tdelaney2@...>
There is a special woodruff key locating the back gear Bull Gear on
the 10K lathe. The one that I have is really whacked and in addition, I spent hours scraping and honing the Bul Gear so that it fit the spindle properly The key is listed in the parts manual as a "Mortor Hi-Pro Key. It has little tangs on the end to prevent it from rocking when intalling the Bull Gear, Drive Pulley and Thrust Bearings. This is quite a chore when you have all of the proper parts. Any help in locating this key would be appreciated. regards tomd

first southbend, now bridgeport
tom jelly <jelkil@...>
OK, 2 weeks after I buy my SB lathe the company goes bust, now 2 weeks after
I get my Bport THEY do the same. Which company will I doom next?? Bridgeport Machines Lays Off 140 Mon Aug 5, 2:50 PM ET The workers were let go without any severance, said Rick Clemens, the company's president. Bridgeport Machines filed for bankruptcy protection in February. The company, founded in 1938 in Bridgeport, Conn., at one time had thousands of employees. It is the latest in a long line of manufacturers to leave the state's largest city, where abandoned factory buildings dominate the landscape in some sections. The city will work with the state to help the workers find new jobs, said Joseph Gresko, a spokesman for Mayor Joseph Ganim. Bridgeport Machines expects to close unless a new owner decides to keep the business open, Clemens said. BPT Holding Inc., a subsidiary of American Capital Strategies in Bethesda, Md., was approved by the bankruptcy court in July to buy the business from Goldman Industrial Group in Boston, but the deal has not yet closed. The company wants to close the Bridgeport factory and operate the business from abroad, Clemens said. Bridgeport Machines makes milling machines, grinders and other products for the military, aerospace and automotive industries. The company has been hurt by a sharp drop in sales in the machine tools industry in the past few years because of the weak economy, Clemens said.

Re: ENCO=MSC
Christopher Strazzeri <cjstrazz@...>
Hi ya'll,
Thanks for the replies regarding the ball bearing import chuck and the most facinating information about the relationship between MSC and Enco. I've been purchasing from MSC for about 28 years but only recently been purchasing from Enco. I had no idea that they were related in any way. I've never been disapointed when purchasing an import through MSC. When the quality is high they always stated "Top quality Import". I was just curious if Enco held it self to the same standards. By the way, the MSC catalog has grown quite a bit over the years. The damn thing has grown so big and heavy that it cuts off the circulation in my legs but prefer it to loading the disc. Thanks to all, Chris Delray Beach, Fl.

Frank,

It's a real pleasure reading your postings which are like lessons! I save them all! One of these days I want to start cutting gears using my 7" SBL Shaper. Back about 20 years ago I had a 10K that I bought at an auction that had a few teeth missing on the small gear that was part of the spindle assembly itself. I found a Boston Gear that was a perfect match and I machined the gear off of the spindle and also off of the ID of the Boston Gear. I made it a press fit using Loctite RC-35 on the shoulder and it ran quiet and to my knowledge is still running today. I remember that the DP was the same. If you ever get a chance I'd like a copy of your revised Excel spreadsheet you made up regarding the metric gears. Looking forward to your next posting. Jim Larsen
