Nick, what would you need for all of them? Plus shipping. I think they'd fit in a Medium Flat Rate Priority mail box? Not at all sure I could do it regardless of the number, but I'm certainly interest

Here's what I have: Size 2, about 1-3/8x5/8x7 inches overall Armstrong 22 cutoff holder Williams W-22-R cutoff Armstrong 2-L Williams 2-L 4 Armstrong 2-R Armstrong 2-R that is a little smaller shank a

Looking locally, a 6"W x 1/2" thick x 36"L piece of CRS is $160. For ~$20 more I can get precision ground O1 stock, however, it would be at 3/8" thickness and not 1/2".

Wouldn't drilling the holes be a form of machining? Has anyone in the group ever experienced warping or creepage from using CRS? I did see someone had a wear issue that looked quite minor. I also did

So actually, someone made a 1:1 scale model of the Atlas 10, so thats my base. I may do the ways like gingery did (one full sheet) or separate. I was going to do separate ways and then align them, but

Hmm, I was wondering if those were robust enough for this use…I was looking at a small bench top mill build using those. https://www.instructables.com/Mini-Milling-Machine-DIY-Super-Robust-and-Precise

Look. If you are going to build your own larger lathe there are lots of ways to do this. There have been youtube videos on building a slant bed lathe. Look at how the high end systems now use the line

Dave used CRS because it’s flat and parallel from the vendor and is reasonably cheap. Yes, CRS is full of stresses from the rolling process; but those aren’t really evident unless you machine it. If y

Hello everyone I am 34 and Im from CT. Ive been interested in gingery for sometime, but eventually I did buy a mini lathe and a mini mill, 7x16 and a G0704 from grizzly. They have both served me well.

Hi Jon, I still really want to build the shaper just because. I learned so much building the Lathe from scratch. I ended up buying a long 5/16" drill bit so I could bore the spindle to that diameter.

OK Folks, My intent was to build as designed so thank you for the good thoughts and ideas. I just sold an old but tight Craftsman 12 x 36 so I understand the idea of buying a better machine. My idea i

I actually agree with Chris. I made my wider headstock foot after I built the system as stock. The only exception was the double row of screws. That was a no-brainer for the first edition because with

The best advice? Build it as designed. It functions as designed in a light duty hobby shop. Most of what you get from this is the learning and experience of the work to build the machine. If you are l

Hi, Finally getting to build my gingery machine shop. I have a question for you folks that have built Dave's lathe. What have you found in Dave's designs that need a little modification? Is there one

Correct Australia it is. The books probably got passed around or possibly donated to a 'Model Engineering/railway " group or something similar. They sometimes run member libraries so lots of people ge

Thanks, John for the additional pictures and the explanations that covered the various modifications you made and why. I had to find my copy of the lathe book just to help understand some of the point

Bill, I didn't notice it the first time partly due to my unfamiliarity with groups.io but I just saw the picture of the Unit with the rods you mentioned, I could picture it in my mind but a real pictu
