You could try putting *him* on ignore. Saves a lot of bandwidth.

Failing that, please just don't quote all (or preferably any) of his post in your reply so those of us who do have him on ignore...

This, but it's a deep and twisty rabbit hole to go down.

A top slide isn't difficult to do if you've got the tools but as you say, where to stop. I re-scraped my Monarch CY top slide, then had to...

If you have to rely on Wikipedia, you're uneducated.

Those plagues happened, they were well documented at the time.

I did 4 years of Latin in high school, if you weren't well educated then and...

Here's one definition.

If you're living in a country that has a President for life - you're living under a totalitarian regime.

So, in summary, your attitude is 'Fuck you Jack, I'm all right'.

500,000 dead in the USA. With guys like you, anyone want to bet on it cracking 600,000?

PDW

The fact that you can say that and apparently believe it's true is a huge part of your problem.

Fact is, the rest of the worlw *was* laughing at the USA under ex-President Trump and breathed a...

That's a difference *waaaay* too subtle for the likes of scotty.

Funny thing, I recently had the same experience when I pointed out to a person that they had the exact same attitude to deaths as...

Got it in one.

That plus a combination of embarrassment and denial I expect. After all people like scotty still don't actually believe it's real, and even if it is, it's not serious, and even if...

I've got a smaller one as well as a fully functional one. For the one missing some parts my thinking was to fit a big fat ball screw to drive the table. So far I have too many projects but I can't...

Thing is, Myfords had beautiful build quality in a shitty, flimsy, flexible design with a smaller work envelope than a small SB.

I'd take pretty much any of the Taiwanese built 12x24 or 12x36...

There's a reason why the 'ignore poster' function exists.

Ummm, the Maximat 11 IS the lathe I use for the small, quick jobs.

Same work envelope, need more/faster metal removal, Chipmaster.

Otherwise the job goes in the Monarch CY.

I'd rather have a...

Well, of course not. His 10EE is in bits, no need to mount a chuck at all. He's a master at disassembly, getting stuff actually working is someone else's problem. Probably after the estate sale.

I've got an Emco FB-2 mill. For what I use it for, it's OK. Plastic, aluminium, occasionally steel & stainless.

It's lightweight & feeble. Well built but simply not very rigid.

My advice is, if...

And let's not even get started on software patents, or idiotic ones like patenting a naturally occurring DNA sequence.

The USA has well earned the hearty contempt even most of the First World...

The lube system for the ways wasn't designed for fast continuous movement as is possible with a CNC conversion so check all the sliding ways carefully for wear and galling.

If the person who...

No, he's really not. He's dumb enough to think that a Smithy *is* superior to an Emco Maximat 11.

PDW

Given a choice, there's only one reason to get a Myford over an Emco Maximat 11.

You want something to admire and polish, not actually cut metal.

Agree with those saying to drop the bench...

Now that will put you on True Turnip's list of traitors to be executed. Disloyalty.

Note he can't bring himself to discuss the electoral issues at all, just spews out a personal attack, which from...

You could try actually reforming your voting system but you guys won't, because both sides want the rules to stay where they can exploit them. The only real complaint is when the losing side is...

Interesting that you conflate democratic people with communists. Very interesting.

An insight to how your mind works.

Of course, you no doubt think that in your preferred non-democratic system,...

I stuck him in my ignore list. There's a good chance that his senile postings will exceed his output to date and I simply haven't the interest in finding out.

Please don't quote him anywhere.
...

Well, other than the $400,000,000 he owes Deutsch Bank, sure. And the amounts he owes others.

Doesn't owe anyone anything. Suuuuure.

PDW

That's become sadly evident here for quite some time now. Well, some of it's wilful ignorance, but as that's functionally indistinguishable from stupid - shrug.
