This may not be the right section to put this but it is where I am. I am trying to find two 7/16-14 TPI X 1 or 1-1/4" long allen head bolts in alloy steel, black oxide. I find lots of stainless steel ones. Another problem is that I only need two of them. I even tried fleabay. All...

Does any one use this on your lathe cross slide? I mounted one and I have to feed in .003 before it reads .001. Any suggestions please.

Who has built this engine? I think someone here did one with a solid block instead of the built up housing. I started the built up one using Strictly IC issues 63, 64, 65 and 66 a few years ago but now I can't find my issues. They are here somewhere.:wall: I need camshaft and cam specs...

I made the Gene Switzer Cam Grinder from plans in Strictly IC magazine about 5 years ago. Made 2 single cylinder cams and one 2 cylinder cam during that time. Am now into pen turning on a wood lathe and the cam grinder is just sitting there. Had a 1/4HP motor on it but have taken that off and...

I am thinking of buying either a set if Involute gear cutters or a gear hob in the 48DP and 14.5 or 20 degree PA range. I am thinking the individual cutters would be best because they would not need sharpening as quick as using the hob. Is this a good choice? I have found RDG, UK has cutters...

Anybody heard from Chuck Fellows in the last week? Haven't seen any posts from him in a while. ??? Ray

I remember a few members talking about these indicators from ebay a while back. I think the average price is around 18 bucks. Are they good enough to check lathe speeds with? Also wondering how long the wait for shipping actually is ferom them in Hong Kong. Comments welcomed. Ray

Does any one know anything personally about the Southbend 1931 year 8 X 36 metal lathe, which is 24 inches between centers? I have looked at Lathes, UK and from what I comprehend it is their cheaper lathe with smaller Morse Tapers (#2 on headstock and #1 on tailstock. I found one local for 500...

I have a drill press with a 1/2 inch chuck with J33 (I think) mount. Tonight, I could not get the chuck to open more than about 5/16 diameter and it locked up and wouldn't turn. I want to remove the chuck and replace it for now. What is a good way to remove it from its taper? I thought about a 6...

Was wondering what most do for distributors for 2 and 4 cylinder engines (or more). Do any of you make them or can you buy them? Are there any builds on one available? I see the ignition systems and Hall Sensors but haven't seen much on distributors. Enough questions for now. Ironman...

I have an ENCO (Import) 5C Spin Indexer and would like to know the best route to go with either a 4 inch 3 jaw 5C Chuck or buy a 17 piect collet set. Individual collets verses Chuck. Opinions and recommendations appreciated. Thanks. ironman
