Mike, So far I've had time to read through some of the lathe articles... Very impressive :) Regards Yuriy P.S. Like your web site desing: simple and to the...
I got my answer to this question, and that answer is "Fisher Machine"! See: http://www.fishermachine.com/ Not only are they reported to be of good quality, but...
I have a lathe with 8" D1-5 chucks that I would like to use on my 8" Phase II rotary table (that has 4 each .4650" T- slots, and an MT3 center taper). Does...
Yuriy, I make graduated dials on my minilathe using the headstock indexing unit shown here: http://mikesworkshop.weebly.com/headstock-indexing-unit.html to...
I'm working with 6061 aluminum and need to make a 75 degree dovetail cut. The slot will be 1.75 inches wide at the base of the slot. I have not found

On Tue, 01 Mar 2011 17:35:59 -0800, Bill Schroeder ... hi bill- congrats on you new mill! do you mean that you can't find a 75deg dovetail cutter or one that...
Bill, First of all, it is best to cut one side at a time. First, mill out a straight slot a few thousands narrower than the top part of the dovetail. Then use...
I have this one: http://www.littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=1240&category= and can't find anything wrong with it. Dimensions are...
Hi Yuriy, At the risk of seeming argumentative, please go back and reread the math portion of my posting. At stall, speed is zero. Anything times zero is zero....
... Yup. It's interesting. Just looked up an Ingersoll Rand DA sander on Amazon, and it said it used 6 cfm. Went to Ingersoll Rand's website, and the same...
... I suspect that all are correct. There is some data missing. Some of the ratings may be scfm (standard cubic feet per minute) Some tools are rated at 40...
Arved, Funny enough, we are getting stuck on semantics. Yes, you're right, at stall the motor produces 0 HP at the shaft. The problem is that we are talking...
Bill, I've bough the mini mill, 9x20 lathe, a band saw and a welding kit in the last 6 months, and every time HF honored the 20% coupon over the phone (two...
I'd forgotten about that. DA's, like media blasting equipment, like lots of air pressure. I think a rating at 40 psi would be useless. In the discussion of...
Hi Mike, I remember you. I built a version of your "Bandsaw hydraulic cylinder" a couple years ago and more recently your "Revolving tailstock centres". ...
Hi Larry, I am pleased you like the website. On my Sieg minilathe the bull gear on the end of the spindle is a 45 tooth mod 1 gear. For this gear the...
Yeah, but I'm still not seeing where HF gets 4/5 HP. They advertise a maximum current draw of 2.2 Amps, which at 120V, is 264 Watts. That's 0.45 HP. The only...
FYI, FSCMAR is now good and gets you free shipping on orders over $25. Don't know the status of FSCJAN & FSCFEB. Graciously, Jim E. Lakewood, Calif. All Hail...
your wrong Harbor Frieght didn''t label the motor wrong, the chinese that made the motor labeled it with the highest amp rating that they could put on it...
I'm just passing this on, in the unlikely event that some of you may not have noticed this. I wrote to David at fignoggle, following your recommendation to...
