Two lathes and a shaper for sale
I have a 1942 Springfield lathe for sale. 14" spin, 30" between centers. Machine is usable, but has the typical bed wear for this age of machine. All gears in the headstock are good. Power feeds and threading do not work. Has the taper attachment. A good project machine for someone that...- I_AM_MACHINE

New Welder Day - Miller CP 302 - Possible single phase conversion?
Pete, Use this link to the three phase to single phase conversion: Haas-Kamp conversion for Miller CP-300, and CP-302 200-230-460 I've done this conversion and it works spot-on. Peter Haas and Dave Kamp I'm sure will chime in momentarily Regards, Kevin- I_AM_MACHINE

700 lb Gate post hole size calculation
Clay soils typically are on the lower end of the shear strengths I listed. I would definitely go the concrete route.- I_AM_MACHINE

700 lb Gate post hole size calculation
The weight of the gate is producing a 4,200 foot-pound (700 x 6')overturning moment on the post. The soil has to be able to counteract that force. Poor soils have a shear strength of around 20 kilopascals, while stronger soils have a shear strength of 80+ kilopascals. In poor soils you would...- I_AM_MACHINE

Hoist / trolley Chucks
250 pounds working on a 44" lever arm (need to divide the 44" by twelve to get into feet) yields 917 foot pounds. Typical code crane load LRFD (load and resistance factor design) criteria I believe is 1.6 for crane loads. 917 foot pounds multiplied by 1.6 equals just under 1500 pound, divided...- I_AM_MACHINE

Is physics always right? Water pressure dilema
Sorry, but no. Because the force on the glass increases as the depth increases, the force diagram is a triangle. The resultant force vector is applied at 1/3 of the height above the bottom of the tank, or 12.67 inches in this case.:)- I_AM_MACHINE

Webb/Whacheon WL-435 Lathe
Yep, me too. I purchased a Darbert (Canadian badged Whacheon) at a Canadian auction, sight unseen. That exact same exact gear is damaged. I knew it was my problem because I didn't fly to Canada to inspect it before I bought it, but I got it at a good price, so I'm not gonna cry too much...- I_AM_MACHINE

Any tips for the new guys?
I learned to be a machinist in the Navy. We learned on old, mostly worn out machines in our A school, and then went to work in repair shops making tight tolerance parts on even older, more worn out machines. It can be done, and practice makes perfect. Keep at it and you will be fine. If this...- I_AM_MACHINE

Dian, This is a tool for removing grout from around ceramic tile, but it would probably work for what you are wanting to accomplish. Kevin- I_AM_MACHINE

John, Thanks for the clarification. I didn't think about the jaws or clamps being on the inside of the body. The valve bodies I routinely turned on the vertical turret lathe had flanges, so the normal routine was to clamp the flange of the valve body to a large plate held in the chuck, under...- I_AM_MACHINE

Another CNC Mill (Not) in Garage Question
Sounds like the machine itself might fit if you remove the feet, but it still sounds like you would need to remove the electrical cabinet and maybe the pendant arm. I don't think it would be too difficult as long as you label everything well and take plenty of photos. As Garwood posted above...- I_AM_MACHINE

Man, these photos remind me so much of the machine shop I worked in at the Pearl Harbor shipyard when I was in the Navy. We had vertical boring mills of that size in the shop, though they seldom ran. The biggest I ever personally ran was a 48" vertical turret lathe. This brings back a lot of...- I_AM_MACHINE
