You can't use a magnetic base to tram the machine unless you can clamp to the spindle housing itself. You've got to make or buy a rig to hold it in the...
If you look at the picture of the Fowler indicator kit, the do-dad sitting in the middle of the box cover toward the back is a base to chuck up in a collet (ER...
Steve - Thanks. I've been using it that way (with the black base chucked in the ER16 collet). However, the "weak point" of the kit is the silver-colored joint...
Yeah, that makes sense. You probably want to try this: http://www.use-enco.com/CGI/INSRIT?PARTPG=INLMKD&PMPXNO=3905147&PMAKA=891-5420 It's basically an...
On my taig lathe, I find the belt keeps twisting [the loop turns intself insideout over and over] and causes my motor to bounce slightly, shaking the whole...
Mike, Sure that the pulleys are lined up? How do you have the motor mounted, is it fixed to the base or on a pivot? If you have things lined up and less than...

Depending on the size and tolerance of the radius, you could use a set of radius gauges, which usually go from 1/64" to 1" radius. If you need to measure...
Tom, It can probably work, question is is it worth the effort? Without knowing the tolerance you require and surface finish of the part it's hard to say....
Mike, I had a similar problem on my Taig mill. I found that it was not enough to be sure the pulleys are "lined up" you must also be sure the shafts are...
Hi Tom, I work with O1 sold as "oil hardening drill rod" all the time. While there is not a Taig mill in my shop, there are two Taig lathes and a Sherline...

biggest worry with coolant I found, and confirmed when I talked with taig, is that depending on the coolant, it can shorten the life of the spindle bearings....
