    OT: eBay Germany payment guidelines

    Ebay Germany payment OK Arthur, here is how I made foreign payments in the past & it's simple & fast. Don't bother w/ the bank crap. Chances are you'll be asking someone for procedures they don't know. Go to Western Union & give them payment plus their commission. They will take care of...

    Norton surface grinder question

    Norton surface grinder This is probably a ball bearing spindle as many of these had oil cups & were not permanently sealed. I always followed the advice of my former instructor when I was an apprentice toolmaker & use automatic transmission oil for spindle lubrication. This has worked very well...

    OT - Ebay purchase didn't make it - am I screwed?

    Ebay purchase & Insurance First off it is the buyer's responsibility to pay the seller for insurance. Why would you try to hold the seller responsible if rough handling & mistreatment at the PO caused the problem. Someone once sent me a pkg which I swear had to be abused by PO as the pkg was...

    Magnetic Chuck?

    Magnetic chuck This should not be used on a milling machine as it will not positively hold & the workpiece will not be constrained. Even if you got away with it by using very small end mills, the magnetic flow would cause the chips to gather around the cut & would cause problems with chip...

    ID Measuring

    ID measuring Since you stated "yeah, tight tolerance" I assume you mean .001 ". Don't go to the trouble to make plug gages. Your best bet is sneak up on it w/ telescope gage to within .003"-.004" & then use a dial bore ga w/ a .0001 indicator for finish meas. Should be no trouble

    Which Lathe to Buy

    Which lathe to buy I give the same advice to all beginners. It depends on what size of work you will be doing. DON'T buy a new lathe if you are just starting out. If you intend to make smaller parts, get a 9" or 10"K South Bend lathe. For larger tractor parts get a 13" South Bend lathe. You can...

    More Non Paying Customers, and other Thieves

    Non paying customers It's a sad state of affairs that this happens too often. First off, your customer is a liar in that if the parts were really bad he would have sent them back not "rework" them. He is responsible to you for payment. If you take him to small claims court & he does not show...
