Clint, As a compulsive slob, I definitely run in cycles. I have a few selected things I don't let get out of hand - my ways stay clean, anything that is...
I thought this forum might be a good place for information on machining as a career. If I'm wrong I apologize. I have been considering changing careers. After...
Clint It's a bit like house dust, keep cleaning it up and it keeps re-appearing. The knack is to maintain a controllable amount of disarray. When it gets too...

Having previously been a messy worker, I can tell you from personal experience that is not true. Neat is a better way to work. What changed my ways is a...

Today I was trying to drill a 3/8 hole in a piece of steel and kept blowing fuses. It appears the bit may have too much overhang. Anyone have any tips to...
I am rebuilding a gearshift for a Massey TO35 tractor, and am wondering what is the best way to turn the "ball" section on the gearshift it is 1 1/4" in...
One way or another, you need to reduce the cutting rate. 3/8" is on the large side for the lathe to drill without a pilot hole; try starting with a 1/4" hole....
That's a more challenging part to make than it appears at first glance! For turning the basic ball, there a number of "ball turning attachments" that you can...
the ball will be located about 4" from the bottom end of the shift lever and the lever bends about 1" above the ball, so I have the choice of starting with 1...

Many thanks for your reply, I have looked all over for a complete circuit diagram for this lathe including LMS's website but as yet still not found one. I...
I personally would go for fabricating the bits separately, I just hate to convert decent metal into chips if I can help it. You might wish to consider the use...
Lionel - are you talking about 97 volts dc output at the motor connections? Your meter may not be able to get a correct reading as this is PULSED. Try using...

From the first post, I got the impression the ball had a slot in it. If it's simply rigidly attached to the shift lever, some of the complexity goes away. Turn...

Can't you find something else to use the gift cards on? I would hold off for the 750x or whatever they call it now (this is the one that does up to 3/4" drill...
