Saddle lift up when internally threading or boring

[DennisCA]

Actually I believe I understand what you mean, feels intuitive when I think about it. If that is what's happening.

[DennisCA]

I don't really got anything I need to thread at the moment but it seems like the way to go is to check boring and threading inserts for clearance the...

Be easier if I was australian......

I don't think it's this because I can tighten the only carriage gib the machine has that is adjustable, which is on the rear, and it doesn't cause a bind...

I've used the chinese carbide inserts, been meaning to try my own HSS instead. I could try and regrind the carbide insert first.

It's probably...

[DennisCA]

The gibs (at the front) can't be set any better though. Non adjustable actually, but I machined them to get a closer fit. But when I adjusted them so...

I can't remember the answer most of those questions since I haven't tried to thread anything since around last christmas. But as I said the machine is...

Last time I tried to thread something internally, every time the boring bar with the threading insert took a cut it would lift the saddle. This made it...

Yeah that's apparently the replacement for HHS-K and does the same thing, will try and get one of those this weekend, a puuilo opened up in Vaasa

I might just buy a smaller 3l can of a generic 68 way oil for testing purposes. No need to stick to vactra I guess.

I was recommended Wurth...

The backlash in the nut isn't bad now. I hope the leadscrew wear is minimal, it's hardened and ground.

Since we wanted some new threads on this forum I figured I'd post about this. I've noticed it for some time but haven't had the chance to do anything...

Oh yeah about that pantorouter, I made a new template based on the formulas I wrote about earlier, this is the fit of the mortise and tenon now:

Last night we used the firepit for the first t ime. Night vision mode resulted in some funky colors.



Also tried throwing some...

I got a lot of long streamers, I would like a bigger saw. Though I get a lot of work done with axes.

Tried splitting a log with the chainsaw today, but it's too puny to really go a good job (Stihl MS170). Had to use wedges for the final splitting, then...

Brought home this, plan to use it as a firepit / grill in the garden:

I don't think this machine is the best for that, though it could do it in wood, nothing too long mind

[DennisCA]

The pantorouter is now complete, finished the final parts which where the weight counter-balancing springs and the traveling stops.
