The Home Machinist!

Oh freakin Yes. No comparison!

What the heck did I Say? Sure bury it. Flare ups are not a rarity. They are mostly stifled before arrival.

The later Logans had the L00 taper like the Clausings. Did I say pretty? Sure but does it perform ? By most accounts...well, I don't read most accounts. I'm satisfied with what I have. One has an L00 taper and the Jacobs Flex collets' chuck goes right on fine.(No draw bar). It is unusual to think th...

Some years ago I was able to get close to some Powermatic lathes. They were striking pretty in visual and the ways they would work. They are still Logan Lathes, Logan Actuator with parts available. Oh, I mentally kicked myself in my ass of a head for have been so already stuffed.

No problem. Most everyone I know has the same respect for the small block Chevys ( and larger).

It certainly is. Thanks Mauro.

It was the early "light" stick for csi to detect , well, blood. Apparently there were separate sectio...

Okay Ed. How would it have worked back then? They had so much invested into their engine and total fit and tuning.. they didn't want to go down with succumbing to another power plant. and still go down. At some point we will see some of these engines and the vehicles they powered. It isn't supposed ...
