It must be "old thread" week

Consider buying 2 that are suitable and replace both at the same time. That way all the current use and gearing will match just fine

I've always figured that the setscrew is used to hold things in place when they're setting up the timing of the lever before drilling for the taper pin.

That reminds me - I need to send my micro-gaging dial to Daryl for a rebuild.

Naah - I'd know that use.

Right or left hand?

PM me your email address and I'll send you a scan.

Likely you have 3 phase backwards on a couple of legs? I don't know what you're driving it with, a static phase converter would likely have to...

The price really depends on condition. I will say that it looks to have had a decent life - compound isn't whacked, indicator holder and stop rod still on there, drive looks original. You might...

Mine has the ball level with the boss on the other end when clamped. This is adjustable within reason by changing the nuts under the clamping plate (IIRC)




The boss should be slightly...

If you order the "sample" kit you get 4 tins each in 2 different compounds. Some info on Newman's site:

Timesaver Lapping Compound Yellow Label and Green Label Compounds, non imbedding lapping...

Tight on one end suggests a thread problem and not a nut problem - if you lap the nut is going to get looser on the other end. Do you have a sacrificial nut that you could use to lap with? That...

But the XRF doesn't read carbon content, so it can't tell the difference between 1018 and 1095

Which model does he have? The round way or the kinematic way? Also I would need an email address to send it to.

Best I can tell I'm getting plenty of oil on the ways and cross slide, but I don't fill the sump but maybe every 3-400 hours at best, and that's just to bring it back up maybe 1/8" to the full line. ...

I would think that's a bad idea. My suspicion is that the line to the half nut, being kinda low in the little top sump, fills and allows more oil out to the clutches. If it didn't fill then little...

If any of you took pics of your setups I'd love to see them.

The wonky scraping had me thinking "crappy rebuild" and the shim on top of the cross slide nut kind of confirms it. Someone's been in there before and likely pretty recently. It might need a little...

Well, I didn't have it, must have sold it or something. My parts sheet doesn't show it but a post from Cal here has it:
...

The half nuts likely won't close because the lockout is engaged. The knob between the cross feed lever and the half nut lever on the front of the apron is a control that determines the direction of...

The hole in the top half nut is plugged until it's dropped in engagement with the leadscrew. You'll want to pull it and check the hole in it as well as the hole through the apron. Nothing will pass...

I've got the bronze button that the spring presses against, PM me. I might have the spring or at least a picture of it as well.

The part I've often see clogged up is the hole into the half-nut threads itself. It's only open to the oil passage in the apron when you close the nuts. It's easiest to see if you pull the...

I've always said that it means tomorrow, just not with the same sense of urgency.

Maybe if you post a picture of the screw with a scale we could figure it out. I'd bet that you have a 2 start 8tpi ACME, that was (relatively) common for valve stems. I've got a set of taps for...

Mostly glove box work for building. Big glove boxes and waldos for heavy stuff. There might have been "moon suits" but they're not lead lined, just positive vented suits. Remember - they were...
