Your experience is the same as mine and I suspect others as well. Unfortunately, arc stability on thin materials is exactly where the new IGBT welders really shine.

Personally that lathe is the longest I have ever seen. I am 75 now and I remember my father telling me these long horizontal lathes have been pretty much replaced by vertical lathes several stories...

If you have only 3 wires, it is a single phase motor. If so, throw the motor away and start over........it's much less expensive.

You should double check that the motor is 440 only. That would be unusual. Pop the cover on the motor, if you have 12 wires, it is 208 or 440. This would allow you to wire the field coils in parallel...

I received confirmation that all these external parts are no longer available from DoAll with the single example of the Pusher Part # 5-013007. This is still being made. The quoted price FOB is...

I have a 10k, which is a newer SB 9. A modern QCTP is the best mod you could do for a SB 9. It makes a huge difference. I use a Multi-fix A size. They are superb, but a bit more money than the Aloris...

I owned one many years ago. They are unique and well worth having if you have the space. They are very scarce now. I used mine almost exclusively for faceplate work.

In your estimation, which of the 3 systems is best?

I'm sure Newall, Accurite, Mitutoyo and other name brands are good, perhaps even better than some imports, but that does not mean these Chinese imports are also not good. I bought a new R8 Mill in...

First, I would not sell the cooler. Even the newer IGBT non-transformer machines still need coolers. Coolers cost well over $300 and you never see them used. I'm sure that your welder is a good...

These saws are a bit scarce everywhere, but these models have been made for many, many years in multiple configurations. Yes, spare parts from DoAll are expensive. Unfortunately, many of the parts...

The stock should be tapered first to, I think, 3/4 in per foot and then threaded for male threads. For female threads, it is best to taper the bore with a specific tapered reamer first before...

The 1612 refers to throat depth and vertical height. Throat meaning blade to frame dimension and height meaning max height of work possible. On 2 wheel saws throat is effectively the diameter of the...

I received confirmation that these parts are no longer available from DoAll with the single exception of the Pusher/Work holding jaw new PN 5-013007. I have not yet received a quote.

I just did a DoALL contour saw restoration and I successfully removed every one on the main chassis successfully before painting and was able to reuse every one afterwards. I used a punch from behind...

There are two things that upset me when it comes to a newbe. The first is a newbe that sells himself as knowledgeable and isn't. The second is a query here from someone that hasn't done his homework...

Most paintball guns I have seen are PCP not CO2.

Nobody insulted you and you were not flamed. Get over it. You flew your own flag when you asked the questions you did and made statements about lathes that an experienced person would not make. I...

Not so dumb or weird. The design allows adequate stretch tolerance to compensate for the thermal expansion and contraction of the engine castings without exceeding the yield limits of the bolt. If...

WOW......I guess you feel insulted, sorry for your sensitivity, but not the content. You may be a wonderful mechanic, but your assumptions and questions indicate your ignorance about lathes. Suck it...

The OP did not mention new or used. If new, the OP should consider the new Leblond machines. They are very well supported by the factory. If used is the plan, then L&S, Monarch or other famous brands...

I'm not certain what you want to know, but I suspect you are looking for some technical help in evaluating the condition of the lathe. Please state your location and perhaps there is a forum member...

I suspect you will have to change your price limit. You will not be able to make one yourself for less, even at $5 an hour.

I assume you know about Leblond's pricing because of personal experience? I am actually impressed by the way Leblond manages itself. I really like their new lathes. If the required gear is on the...

If I am not mistaken, K.O. Lee. machines is now owned by Leblond and is well supported for spares. Try them.
