Paul, good advice has been offered and I think you should take it to heart. Taking some time to get used to what you have will be more useful than you might think. More than one person has put more...

Not as important when taking apart as when putting back together.

Richard I would like to copy your post as a sticky to maintain the reference material you liked to. Let me know if that is ok with you.

Charles

Doh...missed that one, I guess I should have read the whole thing. Hope whatever you decide works for you. Let us know how it all turns out.

This is a playlist I have of Japanese videos, many are from TV programs focusing on manufacturing. There are many that may find interesting, one of them shows one of these large surface plates being...

I posted this several years ago but thought it would be of interest to those who may not have seen it. Dont expect a thrilling action film, this is a documentary for a Japanese TV program. But it...

I like the hammer in your photo, looks like a cobblers hammer to me? Good luck with your repair. Frankly it would be nice to see how you solve the problem and if you take any steps to improve the...

Fredrik, thanks for posting, I had to look up Aland Islands. Getting machines can be hard in some places, I imagine an island is even harder yet to find good usable machines.

Thanks, I didnt know that, I will have to give it a try.

Charles

That is ok Richard, I know you try, and it isnt easy to change the habits of a lifetime. An off color remark said in person with a grin can be accepted. When all you have is words it is easier for...

On another note, while I do check this forum out from time to time my life does not give me the time to read every post or look in every day. I have a business running a machine shop, I have a life...

It is always so easy to get our panties in a twist now and then. I am as guilty as anyone else, but over the last several years I have worked hard to get a bit better at watching what I type. ...

Well more teeth should let you run it faster. I dont do that kind of production work so I have to admit I try for best surface finish and leave it at that.

Charles

Just dont suggest that to someone doing a reveal party, those people seem to loose all the good judgment they had. But if you try it successfully, film and share it please.

Have a good spring,...

Thanks Denis, I agree with you completely, if you are worried about it then dont take the chance. And save yourself the cost of the concrete. What you are doing works well for you and I certainly...
