Bob, I agree with Marty. I use several gallon a month of Zep Industrial Purple Degreaser both full strength and diluted to clean machines going through rehab. Just test the waters as to how strong...

Don't ask me what's in Kroil penetrating oil but it works. Never been let down yet. The old retired Airline Machinist put me on to it years ago. Heat definitely helps, and yes, we pulled a reducer...

20" Cincinnati shaper--$1,000 on Marketplace in Ga. Nice looking Machine

As Max said,
Get some Kroil! Problem solved

Shielded definitely with be the way to go. Be sure to identify the brand before you buy online. Best to deal directly with established bearing company. NTN, NACHI, etc

Mark, You've got my vote down here in the southeast. Ha
Jobber Machine Shop and love chasing those 2- Lodge and Shipley's around the Shop every single day. Btw--- some very serious Knowledge has...

Scratch the d-2 grade steel. Cutting edge will wear quickly. Heat treatment will help but why waste time. M-2 is better, but I grind T-1 high tungsten almost daily and it compares close to...

Hey Tony,
seems I recall LIFE'S events somehow came into the picture about the time you and I were discussing those aluminum castings; My Badd! Please accept my sincere Apologies!! PM and I'll get...

Zeus, I have a substantial collection of both Cinncinati short taper and Brown and sharpe long taper Sopko arbor adapters. Not familiar if your brand matches these styles but they are the most...

Jason, you make a very sound point about the that tooth integrity. I have 2 Blade Welders in house and all components needed for silver brazing. Have only used the Welders for non bimetal...

Nash, I would probably be very hesitant to pursue that machine above $2,000. That is an older single tumbler SB and there are many later model double tumbler 13's out there that were Tech school...

Ken, You've got that right! Holding a hobby lathe chuck in a real man's machine is perfectly OK. Putting a 300 lb chuck in a machine with a 310 lb chuck is INSANE! There ARE limits!!!

Taiwan L,
I prefer to have the small chuck mounted to an arbor shaft instead. I have a 4" and a 6" 4 jaw that have long enough arbors to fit deep in my Lodge and shipley 12" chucks. Nobody's ...

Sorry about the Rodney! Ha Love that spellcheck. Rody, I'll check that tooling this weekend at my dad's shop and see whats there. I know there's a long boring bar and a 4" dia or bigger HEAVY Fly...

No luck on the 2 bigger steadies; will check the odd one thats definitely narrower on the base when I get to the office in the morning.
