Clausing 6913 lathe questions
I recently purchased a 1967 6913 lathe. I saw it run briefly. It does not seem to be a nightmare, but all that I know about these lathes is what I have read online. The previous owner put new belts on the lathe, replaced the hydraulic hose, and replaced the seal in the upper cylinder. He... -

Moore Jig Bore 1-1/2B with tooling
I was tempted by that when it was on Municibid, but decided that I did not need another machine that has limited use. I already own a Gorton P2-3.- mjr6550

Peerless-Racine hacksaw out of stroage
My Racine had been lineshaft driven, but the clutch and drive pulley were missing. It has no motor, coolant pump, or electric. I added a motor and used a steel rod mounted in the blade frame to trip a shutoff switch, which is a standard light switch mounted in a waterproof exterior switch box. I...- mjr6550

Skyhook Toolpost crane or Gorbel Workstation Crane?
Snow loads and other design loads are already included in truss design. For wood rood trusses a small dead load, typically 5 psf, is included for drywall and insulation. My point is that a load of up to 250 pounds is not going to overstress the trusses if properly attached and distributed. -

Skyhook Toolpost crane or Gorbel Workstation Crane?
Most trusses are not designed for extra load on the bottom chord. However, if you spread the load across two or three trusses and place it close to a joint with web members, the load on the trusses would be insignificant. -

Peerless-Racine hacksaw out of stroage
There were quite a few machine tool manufacturers in Racine. I am not familiar with Peerless. I have a 14 inch Racine power hacksaw. It looks quite different from yours.- mjr6550

OT: Metal detector for underground wires
I worked with a guy who used the same method. He was very good st it. I have used it with mixed results. For me, it seemed to work well for live buried power lines. -

Clausing 5914 - Should I buy it?
I recently bought a 6913 (14x48). I paid $2000, which seemed a little high. I did not get a steady rest or taper attachment. I did get 5 chucks (3 jaw, 4 jaw, 6 jaw-3 and 4 jaw in two sizes), and a collet chuck and closer (no collets). What sealed the deal for me was an Aloris QCTP and 6 or 8... -

Gantry Crane Build Questions
Not the answer to your question, but a W8x18 wide flange beam is about 5.5 percent stronger with the same yield strength steel, and would be more stable regarding buckling. Most likely more common and therefore may be a bit cheaper or easier to source. Regarding your question, there are... -

Dom tubing - where to buy?
If welding is an option you could by two pieces of DOM and a piece of round bar. Metals Supermarket or online places sell by the inch. Price per pound is high, but in small quantities there usually are no good deals. -

Rigging Machines with Cushion Tire Forklift on Dirt/Gravel
If the base is well compacted you could do a a layer of concrete and overlay it with another layer later (if you have the depth to do that). Concrete reaches about 80 percent of it's strength in 7 days. There is also high early strength concrete.- mjr6550
