Good deal. That's the good stuff....

Right. Except there are no published numbers for that on this particular machine. Good luck calculating that one....

Yes, you are correct. I was only thinking outside calipers. I don't use the insides as often. I mostly use the outsides, dividers and hermaphrodites....

The paper also mentioned that they aren't made for precision applications IIRC. Only for basic ball bearings. Could be they will get there eventually...

Yes, rounded tips on spring calipers are good. I recommend doing that to yours if they aren't already. Good idea to polish them up with a buffer if you've...

So Doozer's colorful adage is just his way of agreeing with you that: "Yes, it's a good idea to plan ahead." 😂

Yes, I do that with micrometers too, and also give a gentle slide as I'm turning the thimble so I can feel that everything is seated flat.

Sounds like one option might be to just let the machine warm up a little bit before you do any intensive work with it. If you don't want to fiddle with...

Hmm. Are you absolutely sure that you have the right amount of grease in the bearings? Overfilling can cause excess heat too. That is sounding more and...Last edited by eKretz; 02-07-2023, 05:49 PM.

Nope, definitely applies to roller bearings also. Especially so at the higher end of their speed range. Precision bearing engineering manuals actually...

Odd that the spindle would get hot while the bearings weren't. Something else going on there maybe? Usually the heat is pretty even, as it's generated...Last edited by eKretz; 02-07-2023, 03:02 AM.

Mo-Max used to be outstanding. Today it's made who knows where, isn't the same. Still decent....

No. You can pretty much get it red and it will be just about as hard when it comes down in temp. Almost as hard even while it's dull red. But rapidly...

It will still cut if it's quenched from too high a heat, the cutters will just dull faster because the edge crumbles away easier.​​​​​ Doing...Last edited by eKretz; 02-06-2023, 12:57 AM.
