    Recommended lathe tooling insert type

    Wanted to say that the code chart from Carbide Depot is as good as it gets, both variants of ANSI and ISO and you can see the difference between the two.

    Recommended lathe tooling insert type

    This is the code chart for inserts found in the Travelers Tool Catalog, it might help

    Recommended lathe tooling insert type

    Hey Texas, I'm still kicking and wanted to join in. All of this can be confusing especially when you get a insert code number or a tool holder code number and it doesn't match the ANSI or ISO code charts. My lathe came with a 3/4" shank Triangle insert which is negative, TAR-12-3 is stamped on...

    Oil Leak 13" SB

    Thanks for the link, it's a big help understanding more ways to get a job done. No doubt it answers all my questions about groove depth and O-ring size. Really appreciate you adding it. The more I searched the more I realized how complicated the world of O-rings is. A lot to figure out. Thanks...

    Oil Leak 13" SB

    I'm glad I took a look at new threads on this subject. You are correct, no need to over think. I took a small piece of JB Weld and rolled it into a small ball putting it in the hole. I took the shank end of a 5/16" drill bit to push it in put couldn't do it by hand. I grabbed my lead hammer...

    Oil Leak 13" SB

    Well it sounds like a good start. I guess I could take some brass and make a make shift freeze plug coated with sealing lock tight. Not knowing much about O-rings doesn't help so I would be trusting your experience, thanks. I could put some sealing lock tight on the pin as well. I'll pick some...

    Oil Leak 13" SB

    The last 2 days were busy days, my wife and I celebrated our 50th anniversary. Seems like yesterday. I have been giving this some more thought. What if I used O-Rings? Now I have never machined a groove for an O-Ring, nor do I know how to size the depth of the groove. I was thinking I could...

    Oil Leak 13" SB

    It might have been drilled too deep as well. I just posted what I found, and it is some type of 2-part material. I won't report you to the Lathe Police for how you treat the Toddler. lol.

    Oil Leak 13" SB

    New discoveries on the material that is off color compared to metal or cast color. My conclusion was correct, some type of 2-part epoxy mix with fine, fine metal particles mixed in. Very soft material, I had hardly started drilling when it went right through into the oil reservoir. I honestly...

    Oil Leak 13" SB

    I meant to mention that it's not the bottom hole, it would be the top hole across from the pipe drain plug under the Git. I don't think the reservoir holds as much oil as one would think. I thought it was only the cracks at the pin but when I removed the top pin I could see it was some kind of...

    Still nice to take him out of time out once in a while

    Oil Leak 13" SB

    I think from what I found that the leak is at the end of the drilled top stop pin. Looks like some type of epoxy was put in from being drilled too deep. Thanks for your reply If the cracks become a bigger issue I'm going to do what you suggest. I don't have any tapered screws or taps for a...

    I have screwed up this post when I was trying to get the pictures loaded, sorry about that.

    Oil Leak 13" SB

    My first thoughts since this was an abused lathe to begin with. I might be wrong about it now. It is a 1960 SB 13" that was first bought by a casting company in Indiana.

    Oil Leak 13" SB

    It looks like the top stop pin hole is drilled too deep compared to the bottom stop pin. I am going to take a small drill bit and see what kind of compound is at the bottom of the hole. To fix it I will do the same and pack it with some type of epoxy.

    Oil Leak 13" SB

    Let me see if I reduced these 2 pictures enough. Got one picture and it shows a little of what I am talking about. It looks like a mountain with 2 slopes, that is the crack and on the right side you can see a rectangular sq. that I can put my scriber point through,

    Oil Leak 13" SB

    I would agree but the pins have flat spots across them but not knowing the history I don't know. I had considered maybe it was hit or dropped or something. If I can figure out how to reduce the picture size it would explain more

    Oil Leak 13" SB

    The bottom hole is way below the reservoir, the top hole is right across from the drain plug. My stop pins got pretty beat up is why I think the cracks occurred but there is no doubt the top stop pin was drilled too deep, and this had to be at South Bend.
