I just saw this thread had picked up again (3 years old!) I just downloaded a copy of your rebuild manual, You did an amazing job. Look forward to seeing what updates you make to it.
Cheers,
Scott

Re: Drill Press DRO
How crazy is it to put an x-y DRO on a drill press? I have a used DRO I haven't found a buyer for, and I have a Phase II table on my drill press. Not sure how I could get the scales to work, but it's a thought. I've seen the cheap chinese verniers on the quill of the drill press, seems to work quit...

Re: Plans wanted for Carbide Tip inserts tool holders
You mention China is exporting diamond wheels that are very affordable.. What can be said about the quality? Are you meaning a wheel that would go on a grinder? Well, I hope I didn't open my mouth before getting my brain hooked on. I have been installing slate flooring, and using a 10" diamond...

Jors, Speaking from the position of a guy that has worked in commercial shops, using both diamond and the green silicon carbide wheels y...

Re: Workshop sturdyness/safety.

Re: Workshop sturdyness/safety.
Ken: I had the tank secured to the bench by a strap that was liberated from an army bag I have, imagine a woven 2 inch wide strap that would go over your shoulder, it had metal clips that clipped into each other.. The metal clips broke from the force of the quake (It was an up and down quake) and th...
