The Home Machinist!

By your post I went to a reply and there was a link. It was good and the next, pretty deep. Another afterwards, which I would have never seen. Good happens from this. I was lost for awhile, watching and trying to understand the programming going astray but we could see. We could see very basic tooli...

In addition to the custom fit of key elements, the mill spindles were driven from the back of the lathe section. There is an equal good description of how the power was transferred.

Well yes you can dream. I can too but we have to figure the timing. It isn't what we see know or how it fits later stuff. Screw it. Go for it and if you find a pair of "Combination Machines" , One of us will gladly take one:) Great info about these. I'd been there looking for info about my "Dalton S...

Both and something else. It really is neat and 18 speeds for the milling head! Dalton had something going on with their change gears which isn't apparent. I expanded the picture to see the features and they are impressive.

Yes.

The Warco lathe looks a lot like my Enco. Warco is all metric and the Enco is functionally ~ Imperial. So threading hasn't been a big problem except with Metric. I used the transposing gears and clamped on the same # of the thread dial. Worked twice but usually split the thread. So it was to leave t...

While I shouldn't be the first reply, I see fine setups and work involved. There is Nothing like honing for the smooth bores.

SteveG, when you get that lift table you can say many good things about it. It is potable and serves your needs.

Not my jest but familiar with them. There is Jewel which is under attack. There isn't a way to refill those small pods. They are very slim, flat and lots of nicotine, which is sort of a poison, especially to younger people. The fluid is of two sorts and one sticks in the lungs. The Alto is larger an...

Nothing special. Tobacco, carbon monoxide and embalming fluid..Maybe some antifreeze.

Those type lifts are good for lifting within their platform but that's all. They block half what you want to do under a vehicle. They are also "tippy" for there are times of extreme pull on some part. Lets say its fine and both wheels are removed on one side of the vehicle. Stuff happens like that. ...

Well dangit why didn't say that before? Not everybody is looking up that lift. Of course it was mandatory to have mechanical stops but so many are thinking about leak down. Thinking about different braces, when it wasn't necessary to discuss.
