My intent is to create a HOB and cut a gear as shown in the following video: DIY Gear Hob Part One DIY Gear Hob Part One

Anyone out here who has cut a change gear with a straight hob? I am undertaking making a HOB on my SB9c to try to make a gear , but am having some issues lining up the calculations with an image of th

Hey Guys, Looking for some recommendations for a forum to discuss and provide direction/recommendations relative to hobby machining. Been to PM, and have not received a very warm welcome. Seems to be

Another information update. I drew up a dimensioned sketch of the collar. See the photo below. Maybe this will stir someone's thoughts/memory. Thanks again, Greg

More information attached. A catalog cut of the SB 90 degree attachment (accessory A). Thanks again in advance for all the assistance. A great weekend to all! Greg

My bad, I inadvertently replied only to the previous poster. Now for everyone's perusal: I have, what I think is a SB 30mm to 3C collet adapter for a South Bend mill, 90 degree attachment. I know that

Hey Guys, Can someone who has a South Bend mill with a 90 degree milling head (Item A in the attachment) drop me a line. I have a few questions concerning a collet holder for that unit. I see it in a

I have a SB9C that runs on a single phase, 3/4hp, AC, 120+/- volt motor. Please school me on the advantage and process of going DC. Greg

When checking continuity with my voltmeter, I am showing a closed circuit between T1, T3, and T2, T4. Is this expected, or is there an issue within the motor?

Ray, Thanks for the insight. The switch through arm was quite loose making eh switch operate sloppily (if that's a word). I'll tighten things up, replace the jumper. check a few terminals for shorts,

Working on the SB9 tonight, and smelled a little burn. Flipped the switch off. looked around and saw no issues. Flipped it back on and pop goes the breaker, and smoke from the switch. I believe the sw

Is "squitty" really a word?

I think it may be a knock out as one end is brass, and there is no obvious way to set a stop depth. But, I do not believe there is a need to knock out anything with a 3C collet. Might be for some othe
