8ft by 3/16" sheet metal. Of course you wind it down by hand a few times before you give it the green light.

Fair enough. If it's in the book it must be so, 19" is a big column.

The authorities in Brazil are worried at the moment that " herd immunity " doesn't seem to be working with the latest outbreak in Manaus.

Yes, but trust the accuracy of whatever work/component is coming off the machine also. You seem to know when the machine is cutting correctly - the milling blending in nicely, components are coming...

Wether it sucks or not small adjustments is the way to go. Take your time, don't get stressed and avoid the temptation to keep levelling up and up. If the machine was bolted down I'd level the table...

That would be my starting point also. The error appears to be more front to back rather than side to side. Of course if the machine was bolted down it would make life a little bit easier. You could "...

Me too. Wet paper if you want to be really picky.

25K lbs for a 6 ft radial arm drill sounds a lot. An " Asquith OD 1 " with a 6ft arm would be a little bit less than half that weight and they weren't a lightweight drill. I've seem some " Made in...

They weren't the only ones. Half of the lathes I ever worked on had charts in stupid places.

Can I just say that even without a shrink fit, just being what we called a " size and size " fit, pressing an aluminium component into another aluminium component stands a pretty good chance of "...

Can I ask - what does the manufacturers installation drawings call for regarding foundations, depth of concrete, bolting to the ground or free standing etc ? Is the machine installed to the makers...

This site is just like any workshop matey. Some guys like to part of the problem at times and some guys like to be part of the solution. Nothing new there. I 've also been guilty in the past. Most...

Very interesting but scary machinery.

" Klopp " had an excellent reputation as the maker of small precision shaping machines over here. You saw them quite often in toolrooms. It's a bit unusual to see a ram that appears to be gear...

That's a crazy ask. I'd expect a much more modern, much faster machine with plenty of tooling for that price.

I thought security guys were taught not to fire warning shots. If I was crazy enough to put myself in same position as the other rioters that would have been enough of a warning shot for me.

You mean some of the British people have the government and results they wanted. Lets not forget that Brexit was only voted through with a 52% to 48% majority. Plenty of us didn't want anything to do...

It's just been reported on the BBC news that Nancy Pelosi has been in contact with the US military with a view to ensuring the nuclear launch codes are kept away from Trump from now on. Scary stuff ?...

Another vote for this. " Let him who is without sin cast the first stone ". At one point in my career I moved machines for a living and I dropped two machines. One was a wood working...

Biden appears to be what we call over here " A safe pair of hands ". He's not the type to do anything dramatic but I hope he'll try to get the good ship " America " back on course again. It's a huge...

As a long time friend of America, albeit at a distance, I was saddened by the events of yesterday.

In the four years that the President has been in office the Stars and Stripes has been allowed...

From the UK it's looking like a coup de etat. Level heads are needed before this gets really nasty.

Maybe it helps if you're near to Oxford.

People are under strict instructions not to call their GP's surgery. They'll call you. Like most things in the UK a lot depends on were you live. Up North you're usually at the back of the queue for...

I had one of my depth micro rods ground to a needle point for use with my water level.
