Jon, Agreed, it looked in good shape. I spoke with the owner who used it for watch work, from his description it sounded pretty solid. He was shocked when I...
I have a steady, but no spare, sorry. I am looking for a traveling steady/follower rest and some 4NS collets: 3/16” and ½”. I’ll post some follow-up...
Hi all I have been offered a Hjorth compound assembly..ie the cross slide together with the topslide...it looks very much like a plain 505 compound with the...
no idea, about fit up, you may have to scrape some parts in from other machines even from the same manufacturer. My steady rest only works on one of my 608's,...

Cecil, I have a 918 also. I have always wondered the same and you can see pics of mine in the photo David's 918. I would imagine the conversion is possible ...
I just completed making the parts I needed to complete a Taper Attachment for my 608. As I am very proud of the work and new to machining I wanted to share my...
