Re: What size milling vise for my Lathe/ Mill?
I'm a retired die sinker and when it came time to purchase a mill vise for my old Enco mill/drill, I bought this vise from LittleMachineShop in Pasadena, CA https://littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=1879&category=1963256912 4 inch, non-swivel. Excellent quality. Keyed to fit ...

Re: My new rail bender
Thanks Mike. I might try to increase the TPI for a little more capability to "tweak" the radius. The issue I have with the Eaton bender is that you don't have to move that arrow very much to make a BIG change in radius. :) Nice drawing, btw. I use MasterCam to do exactly the same calculations you di...

Re: My new rail bender
Here's a modification I made to my Eaton roller. The 'yoke' over the adjustable roller makes fine adjustments easy, and holds its' setting better than just the bolt that Eaton uses. For repeat curves, you mark the pointer location on the blue tape. It wasn't my idea...I stole it from another fellow...

Re: looking for Gerstner toolbox drawer
Why not go straight to the original source for the proper drawer for your Gerstner? The Gerstner Company STILL exists. I am restoring my Dad's Gerstner. He purchased his box (new 24 inch in the early thirties to mid-thirties). All of the original hardware and I believe they will produce a drawer for...

Re: Mystery bind in wheel/rod motion
This topic is an excellent example of where the word "tolerance" (degree of accuracy) is confused with proper dimensioning. The commonly held belief that things are built with "too tight of a tolerance" is absolutely wrong. Tolerance denotes the degree of departure from a nominal dimension, meaning...

Re: Lathe Compound
There should be a Woodruff key in that assembly somewhere. It would also help to know the "brand name" of your lathe and the country of origin as far as manufacturer. You mean for the handle like I mentioned above? It's a 1998 Shoptask from China. Not sure how that helps with describing how other m...
