    0XA tool post dovetail size?

    Those 0XA holders won't work. My dovetail is too narrow. Thank you for looking.

    0XA tool post dovetail size?

    I've got a shop made QCTP on my little lathe. As I did not make the thing I have no idea if it was made to a pattern. Two of the toolholders appear to be commercially made and the other three are shop made. Anyhow, I want to buy a knurl holder and I see a ready made one to fit the 0XA posts...

    Craftsman 109 Spindle Adapter (Or, I cannot believe I was afraid of threading!)

    There are a couple of groups dedicated to the old 109 family of lathes on Yahoo Groups. I'm a moderator on one group. In the years since I've been working with machine tools I've developed a soft spot for the much maligned 109 lathe. Yep, it's small, it's weak and it's not very well made. But...

    Craftsman 109 Spindle Adapter (Or, I cannot believe I was afraid of threading!)

    RC.... Sorry I'm late to the party.... IT seems 800watt is gone or has changed usernames. I have not seen any of the little scroll chucks on FeeBay to directly fit the old 109. I have seen some NOS and used chucks that fit. And of course there is always the Bison chucks at $460!!! I'm working...

    Hide your women, children and lathes! I'm back!

    Just wanted to pop in and once again say hi and re-introduce myself. I've been away for about 3 years. Things got pretty hard for me when I stopped coming around. Thankfully I'm alive and sorta well. Still interested in making perfectly good metal into bits for the junk box and tinkering...

    milling machine choice, what mill do you have for small engine building

    Crusty... Buy the biggest machine you can afford and deal with physically. I have a Taig Micro Mill and love the thing. Unfortunately I have outgrown a small mill. Just something to consider.

    What a shame. I was always grateful for the information he posted. :( I hope he has a change of heart. He'll be missed here.

    New ER32 chuck backplate

    John, The nut on the chuck I made is from the same MT3 -> ER25 chuck. And the inability to pass stock through the chuck is exactly why I made my chuck.

    New ER32 chuck backplate

    Nice job. I recently made an ER25 chuck for my little 7x12 lathe a couple weeks ago. I used a pre made closer nut.

    Indicator holder

    Oh, I really like that. I'll be shamelessly borrowing that idea for my little mill. A click of Karma for YOU!

    Homeshopmachinist down?

    I don't do Windoze crap Amen brother. Linux and Macs here. I stopped using Winders more than 10 years ago. I don't miss the IT world... Although I may have to dip my nose back into that for a job. Being unemployed sucks.
