Well, one thing you know for sure, you're a better and more practiced machinist today than you were a few weeks ago. They all look good from here, and I hope they work as well as they look! And if

Hey Guys, Been a while. Based on your-all input, this is my shot at a QCTP. Still working on a parting tool, an a knurling tool holder, and probably another larger boring bar. Not he best photo (I

I don't use mine often enough to really worry about it, and do want the softer pneumatic tires for the terrain I mostly use them on. Besides, it was my mom's, and keeping it running as she had it is a

Eddie, the compound was set at 90 degrees to the axis because I hadn’t thought of rotating it to make it more rigid before you mentioned it. I really appreciate it and will remember that from here

Add me to the list. I found solid tires in the size that fit. As you said, stiff, but permanent.

got sick of hand truck tires going flat . had tires foam filled . Stiffer yea , but it always works . A hand truck has 3 parts & 2 of them cause problems . fixed problems . animal

Thanks John! I am not progressing well in the shop cleaning department. Can't find any of my air chucks, either. Need to air up the tires on the hand truck... I know he's been looking for this info

I removed the two clamping set screws and lifted off the compound. My 1942 Heavy 10L has a hole in the cross slide that is 1.618" diameter measured with digital calipers. So not 1.5 for sure and

Thanks all! I finished up the boring bar this morning. It’s a piece of 7/16” 4140 that I was going to use to remake the cross slide screw for an 11” Logan that I sold before I got around to it.

I don't know, because I can't find the top slide or the parts it mounts to at the moment, but I have a vintage 1941 Heavy 10L here in pieces for a slow-going restoration. I shredded my workshop again

Hello, Having seen a South Bend milling slide for a "Heavy Ten" advertised, I wonder if anyone knows if the location hole for the top slide would be the same diameter as that of my SB model "R"

That looks really nice! Bill in OKC William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.) A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a

That looks great!!

Nice. John

I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on the last couple of nights. I’m preparing to machine a faceplate and thought it would be a good excuse to make a boring bar holder for my quick

If anybody is interested, I have a complete set of 6K colletwe by 1/64 ths. Mostly RSB and Hardring, some duplicates and some soft. Included is a totally unused pot or step collet. If interested

It doesn’t make a big difference but do you mean 6K Collett‘s, not 3C? 40 years ago I paid $600 for my cabinet model 10K with only a few collets, and a three jaw. Everything is obscenely

Six years ago bought a very nice college shop, hardened bed SB 13" with tooling as described for the 10K, plus Bridgeport with brand new Kurt vice, Mitutoyo DRO, Yuasa rotary table, and lots of other
