    Harig 618 manual surface grinder traverse sluggish

    On those small grinders tighten the left side bolt tight and put a lock washer on the right side and leave it looser. Tighten the right side bolt until the lock washer is pulled down about 1/2 way. If you removed the mag chuck, clean up the surfaces and oil the bottom of chuck so it doesn't...

    A Scraping Newbie Has The First Of Many Questions

    Your part looks a bit high in the middle. The bottom side more then the top one. You need a smaller stone too. People should check the stone as many are not flat unless you bought some ground stones. The Norton MS-24 tapered slip stone that I buy buy the case, most are not flat. I can lay...

    A Scraping Newbie Has The First Of Many Questions

    When a student I'm standing behind can't get more points then 20 PPI. I tell them they need to be a sniper shooting one shot at a time at the target. Not machine gunning it. Most time people scrape the diagonal line scraping high and low spots and expect the PPI to get better. In the class I...

    how long to scrape a dovetail slide, like a compound?

    I don't like the adapter that comes with it. That makes the handle to stiff if you usea Sanvik insert. Keeith Rucker cad camed the handle and you can make one for under $50.00 - The Dapra one is over $150.00. You can made 2 lengths handles for the price of a new one.

    how long to scrape a dovetail slide, like a compound?

    To answer your question on time - I would think I could scrape one your size a day and 1/2 or 10 to15 hours. It being your first one 30 hours sound good. I don't want to hurt your feelings, but you need to learn to scrape the checkerboard pattern as it will look better and speed up your work...

    how long to scrape a dovetail slide, like a compound?

    I'm going to go a bit off topic now and tell you about the tools I would use so other readers can learn. Bob I never scrape a 3/8 wide dovetail with a power scraper. I use a hand scraper with a 5/8" wide blade ground at a 60 or 40 radius blade (Biax 15-150 or a # 15 blade) I grind the top...

    how long to scrape a dovetail slide, like a compound?

    Before I answer I want to here more about you and your ability. A couple of things first. You say you used a "tubular scraper" Anderson makes a tubular scraper and in my opinion it is a lousy scraper to scrape anything accept paint. They are aprox. 24" long or more with a round wood handle...

    Questions about Blanchard grinding

    The machine I owned was very old and the head had a motor built inside it. I had to buy the spindle bearing from an surplus vintage bearing company. It had been reconditioned because it was so old.

    I introduced Charbonnel to the forum scraping world after Tom Lipton of You Tube fame under his company name Ox tool. He took one of my CA classes and he introduced me to it. His wife is an artist and paints. He saw her using it and tried it. He used it straight, but that's to sticking in...

    If you have my DVD then you saw how top put on the yellow highlighter, Did you buy some Yellow or Red Charbonnel? You can't leave it wet or sticky.
