Cenedd well I think the motor has been protected quite well under all that grime for many decades.

Took the motor apart further, bit unusual...

With the shaft out of the way for now I decided to look at the motor and the housing. The bearings are not in good shape from what it sounds like, the...

We built our house new in 2013-14 and I think in the end it was 50- to 60,000 euros more expensive than buying a similar house and property once all was...

[DennisCA]

I've completed what shaft repairs I can do myself for now. I hope I can get the 6mm broach and bushing this weekend yet, if so I can visit my friend with...

I count warm as 20 celcius and above, but it hardly ever gets above 30C here and by then I feel like melting. The most pleasant temperature range imo...

[DennisCA]

Funny when it's warm is in fact when I spend most my time in the workshop. I can have the garage door entirely open and just walk in and out and don't...

[DennisCA]

Oh yeah, I didn't read too close, I was thinking something full size...

[DennisCA]

I'm just talking out of my ass but using the equipment I have at hand....

I think I'd weld it and make it in two parts, from the pics it...

[DennisCA]

Just ordinary cats. Most cats to me don't seem to mind the snow, as long as they don't have to be out long. These are young cats, their first winter,...

[DennisCA]

Probably what happens, I need to make some new lead screw nuts for this lathe. The screws seem to be fine but the nuts are worn. Just another reason to...

I'm just wondering whats the end game for the US in this keeping to imperial if we consider the long term perspectives, 50, 100 years? Do you really think...

[DennisCA]

I would like a DRO on my lathe as well. Though it seems it's the compound that's the real problem on mine. And the nut on the cross slide is worn and...

[DennisCA]

Are the low RPM ones any good for situations where you need to do more material removal, such as re-profiling a carbide blade for scraping? Like going...

[DennisCA]

Been working on a simple carbide grinder actually, but not ready yet, and now I wonder after seeing Stefan Gotteswinters latest videos if a slow speed...

[DennisCA]

Maybe that is it. I am using a cheapo chinese threading insert. Maybe I should try grinding my own HSS.

[DennisCA]

People here talk about 50x100mm (sawn) or 95x45mm (planed) and also as two by fours or 2x6 or 2x8, because the old names live on even if the units haven't...

[DennisCA]

For it's size (9" roughly) I always thought it was very rigid. I've never tried using just the cross slide but maybe worth a try.

[DennisCA]

Yes I'm about 400km south of the arctic circle. Dawn happened some time around 9:40 this morning and the sun will set again around 15:10. The payback...

[DennisCA]

By the way you know what is really annoying, and it seems to happen to me a lot. When you single point thread something and you try so hard to go carefully...

[DennisCA]

I used to use sketchup myself but I found it quite limiting. The free version of sketchup did not make any drawings so it was one reason I dumped it for...
