It’s not fun doing small work on a large lathe. Everything is so “big” it’s hard to see what you’re doing. Also as mentioned there’s no feel.

I thought his description was good. Photos help of course. The router spins way too fast for metal working. You will do nothing but burn up bits that way. You need some better tools to chose from. So...

You somehow think those two assholes are typical and representative of small, medium, and large business owners generally? Ever known anyone that owns a business? We may have to put you in the Jim...

This fixture from Home Depot seems as good as any.

You've seen them, you just don't know that you've seen them. The screws that hold the cover on a circuit breaker panel are just one example of double lead screws. They go in fast because the thread...

Take a look on ebay. There is a 1612-U and 1612-3. Compare the two and you will see there is no comparison. The -U is a lighter frame, a different shape, no tach, etc. It may be an OK saw but it’s...

Don’t buy that one. I’m not an expert but the -U is some stripped down saw for meat cutting or something, I don’t know. The top of the line would be the 1612-3. The -3 will have the hydraulic table...

Are you just being contrary for the sake of it or do you really think manual machine tool operation is a good field for young people to go into? Sure there’s people earning a living doing it but as...

Got a suggestion? The above seem to be android only, no apple.

Maybe, could be true for a lot of career paths that don’t lead anywhere anymore. So what, do something else. Turning handles on a Bridgeport doesn’t pay. Not a surprise

Just one data point but from where I’m at this is total BS. I have 12 construction people working for me and in order to keep people and have any hope of hiring new people I have had to increase...

Once you get the lathe set it up and check it carefully. As suggested make certain you understand the electrics. I've bought a lot of machine tools, including lathes, with supposedly "blown" motors...

Is there a K&T Autometric in there somewhere?

Your plan sounds reasonable to me. In fact I don't think you will need the thrust bearing washer. Take a look at the top of the head. I think the stationary part is rotating along with the sliding...

Are you trying to do actual work in the SF bay area? Why?

Wow, I’ve never seen one that old. Pretty cool historic relic. If I were looking for a mill to use I’d walk away.

If you can still buy the tile then tear up the first row of 1/2 tile and replace with full size tile. Looks like that would take you just about to the wood.

My jug of CLR says active ingredient is lactic acid. Spoiled milk essentially.

Sounds like a great place to work.

I wish my business was so fat I could afford to have guys running around xrfing driver bits.

Offhand I can’t think of any alloy that’s 18% iron, something is hosed up. You should be able to tell if it’s aluminum, steel, stainless, ceramic, wood, masonry, etc. Start there and reset the xrf...

XRF often doesn’t work. Notice that your numbers add up to about 28%. So your material is 72% unknown.

Wow, anal sex from a stallion. I was thinking something else. Was he in heat? Animals won’t normally do it otherwise. Gosh. It takes all kinds.

I did not have trouble visualizing what you were describing. Yes the nut will lock the ball joint. Of course it depends on what exactly you are doing. I can think of all sorts of ways for that to...
