I'm a hobbyist. Now you know one who regularly turns between centers. My mill spindle pulley is tapered on the inside. I wanted a different pulley with only two steps and room for an encoder

I've seen a few of those Delta/Rockwells for sale on my semi local CL . They look like pretty capable machines , but their way out of my price range . I live @ a hr from any large town

Most of the hobbyist I know don't turn between centers , it's always a 3 jaw & live center . When I mention dogs & faceplates most folks I know say that stuff is for wood lathes . (

They do very different things. Morse taper accessories, for example, including centers, are best finished with a tool post grinder, where a surface grinder is best for things like 1-2-3 blocks, gibs

Hi There,

I have a tool post grinder an Atlas , which I have never used as of yet . I could see a surface grinder coming in handy a lot more than the tool post grinder . But I could just be pounding

I knew I wasn't going to be able to afford one for my hobby shop, but was interested in how badly I couldn't afford it. Found a place that lists the SuperJet-S kit for oxy-acetylene deposition for

yea , I could see where this would be a $$ generator . When you watch the tubes your thinking wow this is pretty simple , which I'm sure its not as easy as the tubes make it look .

Its been around for a while; in 1970something I bought one (Eutectic Castolin) for the shop i had at the time and with quite an array of different powdered metals. it became a very good money-maker

Abom has a tube on this process I watches a month or so back , pretty darn interesting . Looks like he has a bunch on the process , don't know if their oxy though

Wow, never would have thought of that. Very cool.

"oxy/acetylene spray welding"? That's a new one on me. But sounds intriguing.

Mike is likely correct here as I have cleaned up a lot of stained collets with great success. I use 3M Scotch Brite radial bristle wheels in a bench grinder. You can get them up to 400

You may find that the collets still work just fine animal On 7/29/2022 8:24 PM, Greg wrote:

How about oxy/acetylene spray welding for the pitting? I picked up a kit at a university surplus auction but haven’t had a chance to try it out. I did find a tool salesman who has used them for

Have been using electrolysis on the numerous rusted parts for the past week. Works really well in getting the rust (and in some cases the paint) off & it's simple to do. My ways are in great shape &

Easy-off is a heck of a lot cheaper, and available in your local grocery store. Though electrolysis will remove any rust and paint, and a box of washing soda costs about what 1 can of oven cleaner
