I have sent a PM. Thanks! Jeff

Emailed and posted here trying to get a set of these for more than a week now. No response. Apparently, others have gotten them, not sure what I did to be ignored. Jeff

I sent a PM, but didn't get any response. Would like to get a set of these, but will be out of town on vacation all next week. If you see this and still have these for sale, please email me at [email protected]. I could get a check out to you today along with mailing information, but if we...

> Good point. It's not like the tab is really needed to hold the toolholder in a specific position, if the toolpost is tightened down properly, that shouldn't be a problem.

I got it from Micro mark, not sure of the brand. It's kind of hard to describe, but on the bottom of the toolpost is a small tab that sticks out. It aligns with an indentation in the carriage below that obviously was intended to act as an index to make the toolpost mount square to the...

I have a QCTP for my Micro Mark lathe that works great for regular turning, but I have a problem when I want to use a boring bar and come in from straight in front of the stock. There is a notch in the carriage under the toolpost (and a tab on the bottom of the toolpost) that only allows you to...

Thanks guys! I do indeed have the R-8 collet setup and since the size of the holes is not critical I can easily match up a drill bit and collet to make it work. Learning a ton in this forum and really appreciate everyone's help! Jeff

All, I have been working with my new 4" rotary table with a three jaw chuck mounted on it. It works GREAT for milling out the face of a round piece (for a flywheel), but on my small mill there isn't enough headroom to mount a drill chuck in the mill for drilling the holes around the face...

Thanks for the response! It seems like I saw one thread at some point about how to do that, but I have searched all over the place and haven't found it again. Jeff

Can I ask how you turned the recess in the face of the flywheel? It looks, by the machining marks that you did that on the lathe rather than on a mill and I would like to know how to do that. Jeff

James, I'm really sorry, but someone got in before you to get the table. He is local and stopped over and picked it up Friday night. Jeff

The rotary table has been sold. Jeff

I have a 3 inch rotary table for sale that has never been used. I bought it from Micro Mark (their item #84755) for $103.96 a few months back and have since decided on a larger setup. This table is in perfect new condition. Will sell for $75 including shipping anywhere in the US by USPS one...

It is hard to describe the operation without seeing a set up of rotary table use. They are very handy for arced profiles. Math is needed for the complex arcs thou switching from linear measurements to degree measurements.> Those were helpful. I have watched tons of videos talking about the...

I have searched the internet for days looking for how to do what I'm about to ask, but can't find anything for manual mills, only CNC articles. For some reason, I just can't get my head wrapped around this. It will end up being two base standards to hold a flywheel between them. The...

have no issues. Center drill method would give you a little more "margin" for error. Also possible to drill under sized like .125" and put some round rod in the chuck but leave enough room for the live center to not hit it. I have cut I like the idea of using a rod in the chuck to help make...

Once again you folks have been great! Thank you everyone for the help! I'm desperately trying not to hurt myself and everyone's input is VERY much appreciated! Jeff

> Thank you for that response! It just seemed to me that not much would be holding the piece when turning it. Do you tighten up the tailstock as tight as you can get it? Also, is it better to center drill the piece for the live center, or just punch it? If center drilled it would at least...

If that was the kind of thing you wanted to do, I'd drill a center hole on each side of the hub, and place a center in the spindle or chuck and another in the TS, make up a bolt to drive with the chuck and away you go. How would you make up a bolt to drive with the chuck? I get what you are...

I recently read a thread on one of the machining websites about a method for turning a flywheel that I am unsure about. it just doesn't seem to be a safe way of doing it, so I would like some input on whether or not it is a legitimate method. The machinest said he cuts a square piece of...
