Hi, I am interested in learning about how to use lathe for machining matel part for models. Since I have read HF 7x10 lathe has its limitation of been only...
The 8x12 is a more primitive machine than the 7x10. The better alternatives are the Asian "7x12" lathes from Cummins, $400., Homier $300., and Grizzly. the...
I would caution against trying to use an engraving cutter. the hand scratch method it just as good but... the engrave bit will wear out pretty fast....
You set me thinking. I had not considered lasers before but they could form the basis for a very capable PCB prototyper. Slicing boards and cutting holes...
The 7X12 is an excellent model maker's lathe. It is big enough and good enough to handle virtually every job but at 75lbs it is easily portable. You could...
Ralph Thanks, that is the type of info I was looking for, yes, this will be torch work for a partial upright smoker/cooker. The smoker is horizontal now, and I...
I've been looking around for a good knife sharpener for my kitchen and hunting knives. There are several different types out there. Any suggestions? Brew...

The answer is a little more complicated. Owners of 7x lathes tend to say the 8x12 is "more primitive." 8x12 owners admit it's primitive in the way you change...
... Lansky. Takes a bit of practice to get the edge right, without curling it over to one side, but once you have that down you'll have a really sharp edge...

I like a good ceramic to hone with.I bought a small steel with a carbide tip awhile back that really cuts off the metal when a knife is super dull..I got that...
In my collector I simply used the existing filter pump and diverted the water to the piping and controlled the flow with a valve. In order to prevent...
... For this season, I am getting some 3/4" plastic pipe. 100 feet is about $20.00 so 200 feet will be enough to run some on the roof and some from the valve...

Just a curiosity question here. Is there any way to salvage frozen latex paint? Can it be re-homogenized so it stays mixed like it was before being frozen? I...

I did a project in the paint and pigment industry once. Premium paints are made using a roller mill which uses high pressure and shear to homogenize the...
Hi, What would be the best method for removing machining marks from machined parts. The parts I make or will be making usually have some recesses or tight ...
... What type of machine marks ? the pits caused by holding in the chuck ? tooling marks from the cutter ? you could buff/polish the parts on the lathe, then...
If the marks are real shallow, you may be able to simply etch the surface some. That's what we did with parts we were going to alidyne (spelling?) at a place...
... maybe engine turning http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~eamonn/et/et.htm I'm not sure how well it'll get into the nooks and crannies but it looks good over larger...
The answer depends on what you mean by "machined." If your parts were made on the lathe or mill but their surfaces don't have to be an exact size, you can get...
In watches this finish is usually called circular graining or spotting. Gun makers ususally call it jeweling. To me engine turning is the rose engine type he...
Looking to replace my Cummins 7x12 lathe with something larger. Does anyone have experience with the new Grizzly G0602 10x22? How does it compare to the ...
Hi, jeweling does not give the finish that I like... I need an even, (semi)glossy surface. Also parts will require rather exact shapes so sandpaper or emery ...
Tumblers will also take care of most deburring needs, if the part has them. (So does the chemical etching I previously mentioned, which leaves a similar satin...
