My wife had a 15' long by 6' wide quilting machine in the living room for two years until I made a building addition room to house it. Do you think she'd...
Ed. With three showers in the house my wife prefers to use the one in the basement where my shop is! So if there's ONE solitary chip anyplace it will stick to...
I have a 5 br 3 story house. My wife complained about dirt on the clean clothes hanging in MY basement. So i did a trip to Lowes and moved the washer and dryer...
The whole basement finishing project came about because I was storing clock repair (old movements and parts and such)Â and lathe and mill parts behind my side...
When I place a piece of wire into the holes they are angled at about a 45 degree and if drilled out would end up into the bronze sleeve not the oil hole. I...
Damn Bob, I live in a bungalow compared to you ! ________________________________ From: Bob Wright <aametalmaster@...> To: southbend10k@yahoogroups.com ...
I am thinking of a 6,000 sf addition. 24x80 garage/weld shop 1st floor. 24x80 bridge finishing room 2nd floor and a giant 24x80 loft on the 3rd floor. That...
John, that's what I had to do with my bronze bearing headstock because the little holes weren't drilled through and even if they had been, the bronze bearing...
Is there a trick to get the spindle in, it seems much tighter than it was coming out. Thank you for all the support, it is greatly appreciated. John Sent via...
When we were shopping for our current home, about 20 years ago, the realtor showed us a home she said would be perfect for me. The house was a little 1100 sq....
When I drilled the holes out, I just angled the drill downwards a little and the holes came through about a 1/4" below the machined surface on which the bronze...
I hadn't considered looking for a used metric lathe, even though most of what I'm doing these days is in metric. My ancient Atlas frankelathe is not really up...
Oh my goodness that's a high price. I wonder though, just how "metric" this lathe is. It looks to have a 127/100 metric transposing compound gear, which...
When I say "proper", I mean using a metric leadscrew. Right now I'm just cutting threads with tap and die. And to be honest, I've never considered full-on...
Which Atlas lathe do you have? There are several ways to "go metric" -- 127/100 is exact; 80/63 and 47/37 are very close to exact and are much cheaper and...
Or for about the same price as a set of metric gears how about an electronic leadscrew? http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/E-LeadScrew/messages JohnW...
When I was replacing my spindle the spring from the oilers broke and lightly scored the bearing. The spindle is very tight to turn by hand. Did I ruin this...
John, don't know if you have iron or bronze bearings, but you can burnish the raised metal down (rub a hardened dowel pin over it) and scrape it smooth ...
The bearings are bronze. ... From: Rich Dean <toolman8@...> Subject: Re: [southbend10k] Front Spindle Bearing To: southbend10k@yahoogroups.com Date:...
I don't think I want any grit near my bearings , A file yes but grit?? ... From: arthurok To: southbend10k@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, November 08, 2009 4:51...
John, then so much the easier as I said below. DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVES !! Bronze is very soft and grit will imbed in the metal forever cutting. -=RichD=-...
Joe, soft bronze bearings certainly do get imbedded with abrasive. The spindle journal areas, hard steel, can be abrasive polished. After machining, bearings...
Hi all, I have a southbend heavy 10. I need a spindle stop. Does anyone have a print of one that I can make? Any suggestions about how to fix the stop in the...
I spent the $25.00 and received a PDF file of the card. Other than a intrinsic historical record, the price might be too much for a digital copy of what one...
I have a 1919 15" and mine would be just scribbles in an old book. I don't think they started the cards until a later date. I prob will by my info just to see...
I'm guessing you mean something that will act to limit the movement of stock back into the spindle hole so that you can have a repeatable amount of stock...
