You may have listed your stuff specifically stating cash and local pick up ,That would be acceptable terms. but no one that I have contacted...

I made a couple of those also. In fact I remember them being featured in one of the issues of the HSM magazine. JL..........

Those blades should be sharpened while in the reamer body. It would be nearly impossible to do them individually on some fixture and then expect...

I've got a lot of steel and alum. from Speedy Metals. They are pretty reasonable on shipping. You can buy by the inch on most anything. JL.......

I would like to have one of those bearing races for tramming purposes for my mill if they are at least 6" in dia. JL..............

How does .229 equate to #6 ?? I can see the 32 tpi. JL.............

I see the same thing when I look at the hex part of my draw bar when it's running. I have the long hex for use with the RA attachment, so there is...

What do you mean by packing pieces for milling??? I have an idea, but I'll wait to hear it from you. JL..................

If you have a set of plus and minus gage pins you can find out. The pins are usually .0002 under on the minus pins and .0002 over on the plus pins....

An assortment of end mills, and a coffee pot !! JL...............

It's hard to say exactly. I always make a few practice runs on scrap before I proceed to the actual work. Some manuals like from Lincoln Electric...

I was going to make comment similar to yours but you beat me to it. JL...................

Remember Poly Glycoat ????? How well did that work out??? JL....................

I've seen that before, but still it shouldn't have used all that oil. JL...............

I see some strange finned / heat sink looking thing right in front of the motor. Not sure what that is. Looks like a Tap Matic head on some large...

I re-assembled the center this morning and popped it back in the work head to indicate it. I found something interesting happening....................

I did some rough sizing with my calipers and could see the difference. There is no way I can take anything off the MT 2 shank. Thanks... ...

This was actually my own suggestion. I've done spindle bearings this way when you want to get 0 run out. The problem with trying to turn the point...

What I'm calling the ID is the inside of the center housing where the bearings are press fitted. The picture in post #49 shows this. I already...

I think you missed the point. JT is on board with me. He knows what I'm talking about and trying to accomplish here. JL..............

This is the end result. The MT 2 bushing in the work head has 0 run out. The ID or inner bearing surface of the live center housing indicates .0008,...

I've always used the raw linseed oil......... This can is probably older than I am. I've tried the boiled stuff a long time ago and it...

Then you would be limited to the size of what ever you have mounted on the RT. You may not get enough rotation before you hit the table. ...

I was thinking migrant workers!! Cherry picker is a very broad term. The OP needs to be more specific. JL................

Yup, that's why I was thinking of making a long or extended point for mine so I can run off the end of the work without having the tool holder hit...

I finished grinding the cone. I indicated the shank to better than .0001. No needle movement at all. Had to take about .005 off the cone to clean it...

I was thinking of making a long extended point for this one. Right now I'm in the process of setting the cone up in the 4 jaw. After I grind it in...

I called Royal. The tech support guy told me that they use angular contact bearings in the newer ones but not the older ones like I have. He also...

OK, I get it. I don't believe my Acu Rite has that feature. But alternating back and forth between the X & Y by even .005 to cut an arc can be quite...
