What would you consider a fair value? Have you sold it yet?

I have a D1-5 spindle on my lathe. I had a faceplate that was missing the pins so I made my own from 4140, heat treated them in the shop and installed them on the backplate. Works fine. Dimensions were out of the Machinery's Handbook.

I have run OLD!! machines and have found that if you take your time you can make tolerance with almost any lathe. I ran one that the ways were so worn that the saddle dropped almost 50 thou in 24 inches of travel. All of the wear was next to the headstock. but I could still keep tolerance and...

It would be nice to know where it is located. And what is the price?

As a fellow internee in the soviet of Washington. I was impressed by your understanding of the late war of northern aggression. What's your 20? Jim Wright - Belfair, WA.

I remember walking into a used machinery dealer here in Seattle, WA. 30 years ago and seeing a used Myford lathe complete with milling attachment and a huge amount of additional tooling. The price tag was $350.00 US. I had no idea at the time what I was looking at and passed it up for a...

Malcolm, You really should learn to sharpen your drills, it's really a very easy skill to learn. I have a Darex drill sharpener that I bought 20 years ago and I am sure that it has saved me its cost many times over. However, before I bought it I sharpened my drill bits by hand and eye. I...

Yes that's true, but using too much pressure causes more wear on the drill margins and dulls the drill quickly. Also can cause the point to "walk".

IMHO, after 30+ years as a Machinist, I have found that most of the time drilling problems are caused by, 1 drilling too fast, 2 drilling with a dull drill bit. 3 not using drill lube. AND again pushing the drill to fast/hard. Use your speeds and feeds, drill slower and with less pressure. Let...

It appears that they may be all accounted for. But, if there are enough, I'd be willing to take them off your hands. PAYPAL?

Call kennametal, look at the website.

Looks like a nice little mill. BUT (always a but isn't there?) you need to A: A set of collets for holding the endmills, Drill chucks are for drilling, not milling. B, Get a proper milling vise for holding stock for milling and drilling. The multiple axis vise you have is good for drilling and...
