Pratt & Whitney 16x36 lathe value
You have a plain bearing model B denoted by the oilers on the headstock. No way 5K anywhere, more like 1 to 2K in that condition. I have several old lathes and in Arizona, never paid more than 2K. Better to figure out the wobble as it might be the plain headstock bearings which will have a...- Vecair

OT- Suggestions on removing hydraulic oil stains from pervious concrete ? Hotsy ?
I've been doing it for thirty years on many concrete surfaces not once was there any ill effect. Of course anyone doing this needs to be smart about it, no freezing weather, small amounts at a time, let the acetone soak in the oil, best in direct sun after warming up the surface, just enough to... -

OT- Suggestions on removing hydraulic oil stains from pervious concrete ? Hotsy ?
Here is my system and it works. I put acetone in a small squirt bottle and soak the oil stain keeping it wet then I set it on fire. It may take several cycles depending on how much oil and how old but it burns the oil out. Don't use anything but acetone as most everything else leaves behind a... -

Any suggestions to remove stuck plunger pin in an apron?
I had a similar problem. I used small wire tube brushes to completely clean the hole and an end brush to get all the way to the pin, spray cleaner and air. In other words clean clean clean. Used a small flat end rod that fit the hole with a small drop of super glue on the end. Several... -

Lathe recommendation
This guy over on the Canadian machinist site did an extensive report on small mills. Very helpful and I think he ended up ordering one from China. Find his report and experience here: https://canadianhobbymetalworkers.com/threads/8x16-metal-lathe-buyers-guide.4238/ -

Bandsaw blades wider than machine allows
I did it on my Powermatic, but the blade will hit the wheel doors when closed and saw through them so mods there. Other than that and some small mods to the guide wheels it works. Other thing is its very hard to get a wider blade installed through the table slot and then turned. I use the same... -

Fireproof filter fabric?
There is no such thing as fireproof material, only fire resistant. Maybe these people could help. https://www.airmaxind.com/blogs/news/dust-collector-filters-fire-retardant-vs-fire-resistant -

Electrical Cabinet Corrosion - How bad is it?
Use a product made to do that job such as Noalox Anti-Oxidant Compound available most anywhere. All aluminum wire should be coated with it upon installation. And yes get that fixed before you have a real problem. -

Sealant/Glue for a Part Immersed in Gasoline

Polishing cast aluminum
If it makes you happy to do and see it everytime you come into your shop I say do it. I do plenty of meaningless little things to my machines when I have the idle time, I like the results and I like the thinking it takes to make them 'my own'. So it takes some time, I think it will look good... -

Converting 1-1/16"x16 threads to M27x1.5
Well I believe the theory is that the insert expands with the first shot to lock it in. But I have also seen where they put a bit of red Loctite on the outside, fire and let it cool and set before ejecting the shell. Probably not fool proof but if you made your own you could size it to be...- Vecair

Importing a lathe from overseas
I used a customs broker that handled everything from the insurance, shipping, unloading at the dock and shipping to my door. There are several things you want an expert to handle, like insurance to crate materials, (bugs) or your item can get impounded by customs which can incur a daily storage...
