Balance turning

Upgrading Old Traub Screw Machine (Photos)
I would go with Brownies if can find at auction. On older g machines (1940s) usually go very cheap. Still make repair parts, easy set up, on cut off job set up is under 2 hours even for novice. One collet, one pusher, change cut off cam, very fast and easy. But the time killer is loading...- rds6709

Upgrading Old Traub Screw Machine (Photos)
I agree if you have floor space several brownies set up and ready to go is a nice way to go. We have limited space so shoving in corner till needed without tube is nice. An 1 1/4 2g would run everything and not cost over $2000 and one guy could run 6 cutoff jobs no problems. RD- rds6709

Upgrading Old Traub Screw Machine (Photos)
Used to have a couple traubs and they were made most as a cutoff machine. I could do more with the Brown and Sharpe so went with them. Most of your inexpensive machines are going to be single bar loads. B&S made a Lipe bar feed to feed multiple bars that worked decent. A used cnc lathe with...- rds6709

Geometric die head value.
The 9/16 typically came with 3/4 shank I'd call screw machine parts dealers. They might have one or you can make one out of a chunk of 3" solid. Turn and tap two holes in mill. RD -

thru-coolant drill question

When to fix old machines. (Brown and Sharpe Screw machines)
You can make a lot of parts on the G brownies with little overhead. A few years back you could buy for just above scrap. Picked up a few just for parts. You go to an auction buy a machine and pay for it on the first job. My biggest complaint was sorting through parts to pick out the last...- rds6709

thru-coolant drill question
The other reason I wouldn't do coolant drill is you can't speed up the job. Its either speed up whole job or buy new cam. A coolant drill isn't going to help break chips unless you use high pressure. Unless you alread have unit the oil from machine will not help. RD -

thru-coolant drill question
The brownies were bad to mis index by either skipping a station or doing it twice. You buy expensive tools then break several in one day and it makes you leary of buying expensive tools. RD -

thru-coolant drill question
Yes You won't need to peck. I never used coolant though on brownies because every time I bought a nice tool for a job it would double index. $150 drill vs $20 cobalt SNAP!!! There is brownie dealer in your area by the name of Genovese that I've always got the best price on repair parts. RD -

thru-coolant drill question
Cutting notches will not hurt anything I do it all the time. Notches only need to what you could get with a triangular file but the cam is case hardened. You can also have a peck cam made but would cost the price of new cam. The lead cam on a brownie is a six lobe cam using up to all six... -

thru-coolant drill question
You will need some type of swivel in center of turret and something that I used to do is take the drill lobe and with a body grinder cut small notches at regular intervals to give a slight dwell every little bit will also break of the chips. Try to talk customer into 303 and will make life...
