Scottneh: The first is a twin to my 1973 Clausing/Colchester 13" except for size. The second has some older Monarch similarities.

I have been in this kind of work for over fifty years and the only place I encounter "clocked", is here. I started as an apprentice in 1966 in a large shop with about fifty journeymen, some of which...

As much as it galls me to agree with Thermite, he is right. A knee mill or CNC mill is the place to do the job. I have run lots of this kind of work and did it both ways. Learned the hard way.

Dave: What are the figures in the first pic on the ram near the left side gib? Looks like numbers.

I knew you could do Walt, just took a little faith. Nothing feels as good as solving our own puzzles.

On edit: Almost forgot. Welcome to to the forum.

Elwood1968: I will take them. How do you want to be paid? Personal check or postal money order or PayPal?

Caleb: Are you still with us? There has been a couple of questions, but you never responded. I have also run and worked on G & L grinders. If you have solved it, please let us know.

Elwood1968: Are the collets for a Cincinnati Monoset? I'm interested. What condition are the bores of the collets in?

Uh - Has anyone run this past Don? After all, he pays for the space.

Take two pieces of flatstock, such as 1 1/4 x 3/8ths of desired length and weld two 9/16ths spacers to one side of one and then places the other piece of flatstock against the spacers parallel to the...

I would think some of our British members would be able to provide a source. This should be a common tool in England, especially in motorcycle shops that are into old English bikes.

Again, I appreciate all the tips and suggestions, thanks to all. Haven't had the time to get into it, but will.

I clean both parts and then use a little fine grit lapping compound and give it a good lap. Then clean again and check for the fit. Then use the aforementioned alcohol to chill the morse taper and...

I would recommend white wool felt. The grey felt we could get was made from rags, not good. We were replacing the oil application wipers on a Gallmeyer & Livingston surface grinder. White felt wipers...

I appreciate every ones input. I should have stated that this is a 1973 model. Would it be likely to have the hose bust protection on it? I haven't delved into the manuals very much, but have never...

Got a small 3000 lb. fork lift that has began to stop about a foot off the floor when letting the forks down. Can't get it to go lower, but by setting for a few days, forks will slowly go down by...

I keep a 8" 3-jaw with two 1/2" holes in the body just for the mill. It is a flatback I picked up at auction.

Brings back memories. I have done similar jobs on a big Axelson. We usually were cutting steel. Often, we needed to hang a big weight on the outer end of our boring bar. Our bar was made of 6' round...

An interesting post for me as I have a similar Lufkin tape measure that I purchased new in the mid sixties when starting to build my shop. I also purchased near the same time, a new satin chrome...

Jermfab: An interesting posting. I agree that it is a tool probably used to stretch the fabric in furniture making, although it looks very much like an old tool used by my wife's grandparents in a...

Kenscabs: You will always be disappointed with brazed carbide tooling. They are not much. Get a insert tool of your choice. No comparison to the former. Use coated inserts. You will have a little...

They are supposed to roll in the bearing.

Grinder74: Did you miss reading the rules at the top of the forum (stickies)? Discussing or mentioning that brand of lathe on this forum is verboten. I'm surprised that this post has not been locked....

Nobody was stingier than Henry Ford, but every ford tractor I ever saw had a sintered plug in the bottom of his updraft carbs.

John, I think he is using High Speed Steel (HSS) inserts. May be a bit of confusion.
