Very interesting. I've had an idea rumbling around in my head to do the initial thinking about a "universal" steady rest that seats on a brand & size specific mount. One steady rest and multiple mount

Hey all, FYI-This 16" x 8' UMD lathe has been on Craigslist for a while now. $995. I have no idea as to it's condition other than what the ad says, but I can see that it has a micrometer stop, taper a

Now, I'm getting the urge to go knurl something! Thanks, George H. Meinschein, P.E. Meinschein Engineering Consultants, LLC 150 Brittany Drive Freehold, NJ 07728-1500 Direct Dial: 732-409-0778 Cell: 7

John, I haven't knurled anything for years and haven't thought that much about the topic for about the same time. The recent conversations triggered me to do a little online research into knurling tec

I just looked a little closer and I see that the outboard end of the tube is counterbored. Tube OAL is 2-1/8". I think the non-threaded end was counterbored to accept a plain old press-in GITS oiler.

Since the cap is missing from the one on the reverse tumbler on my 14.5", I figured now would be a good time to check that out. I think the 10L is the same. Mine is a heavy wall 5/16" OD tube with 1/1

Group, I forgot to write this a few days ago! PayPal has an option to classify a recipient of a payment as "Friends and Family", which eliminates the transaction fee. There is a limit of $10,000 per t

Eddie, I agree with you and wish the option to notify members of database changes was available. That option is available for new file uploads, but not database changes. I'll suggest adding that to th

Rogan, The pivot shaft on my 10K does not have the center drill holes in the end like yours. Anyone else have a shaft with the center drill holes in the ends? Maybe yours is a replacement that was put

Group, I've added "MARKETPLACE" to the group's database section. Group members can add as many rows as they want and can only edit the rows that they have added. I put in 2 test rows for starters. I a

Group, What do you all think about having a spot to post For Sale or Wanted ads for group members? I think I can set that up within the group if there's any interest. Thanks, George H. Meinschein, P.E

Steve, I'll merge them into one file and upload to the group if you send the individual pages to me. Thanks, George H. Meinschein, P.E. Meinschein Engineering Consultants, LLC 150 Brittany Drive Freeh

A quick Google search turned up the attached article from the January 1962 issue of Popular Mechanics. Maybe that will work for you. Thanks, George H. Meinschein, P.E. Meinschein Engineering Consultan

Jim, I'll join the Heavy10 group once the transfer dust settles. I guess I'll need to pick up a Heavy 10 now to bolster my street cred! Thanks, George H. Meinschein, P.E. Meinschein Engineering Consul

Steve, Yep, no flex expected. Maybe the lathe got dropped on that handle at some point in the past 90 or so years and that's what set the stage for where you're at today. How about laying the threaded

Yup, a Freeholder that done pretty good for himself. In your spare time, can you indicate those broken parts and see if there's any runout? I'm curious to see if the screw was bent a long time ago and

Steve, I might have missed it, but do you know what caused the fracture? Thanks, George H. Meinschein, P.E. Meinschein Engineering Consultants, LLC 150 Brittany Drive Freehold, NJ 07728-1500 Email: ge
