    Just picked up a horizontal Mill, what kind is it?

    The point is to hold the outboard end of the arbor shaft steady while cutting. Look at pictures of other mills in operation.

    Posting more pictures from different angles would help a great deal. Also, please go through this site, lots of pictures to compare: http://www.lathes.co.uk/page21.html

    0t--Russian mobile rail machine shops--WW1

    My cousin's grandfather was in the Polish cavalry. He once told a story about getting into a bar fight that included the line: "then the swords came out". I was told he skipped town (country) because he murdered a man; not sure if those two stories are linked. A tough man. But my father...

    Can somebody recognize this unusual mystery all-metal vintage or antique lathe needle or pointer attachment for a lathe?

    Yes, a very colorful name too.

    Narragansett Lathe For Sale on Craigslist

    I don't think so. The lead screw is on the back though. The thread chart is cast in to the front of the bed. Plus the treadle is hinged at the back of the leg where it should be; and that cross brace would prevent an operator from using the treadle from that side. The tailstock lever controls...

    I know your comment about the rust was meant in jest, but I am overwehlemed with getting moved. I would really like to get rid of this stuff. Would you please remove your rust comment.

    Shop Clean Out - Dearborn, Michigan

    I bought a new house and I am moving out of Dearborn. I have a lot of items to sell, mostly lathe-related items, tooling, and machinist tools. Please look at the pictures in the link to my Dropbox folder. I had too many pictures to show here. Please note that this is a package deal. I want...

    Clever Frankenmill

    The odd thing is . . . . it does not look like the original headstock was used. And the pulleys were covered over somehow, losing the variable speed feature.

    Clever Frankenmill

    This is a clever adaptation. Wonder if it ever was used. Not sure how the headstock was powered. Looks like a grease cap was installed.

    Quincy 108 Compressor

    Hydro blasting would be better. Have you considered paying a blasting company? They can do little jobs like this when they are doing something bigger.

    Quincy 108 Compressor

    I have a 80 gallon 5 HP Quincy for my sandblast cabinet. It is adequate at 17 cfm but you can never have enough for sandblasting.

    Is it worth restoring my South Bend 9B?

    Clean it up, fix what needs to be fixed, and get it running. You will have a very satisfying project. I would not paint it unless you plan on keeping it and don't mind the investment. Use it for awhile and you will LEARN A LOT! Then you can decide later to sell this one and get another. I...
