OK I am working on a project and need to cut a 90 Degree V in a part .133 Deep. I have the part to be machine set at a 45 Degree angle and have the corner of the mill set at the center line of the cut. What I can not figure out is how deep and how for back do I need to move the part to get...

These are definitions of common tools found in and around the shop. In fact every tool on this list has been in my shop at one time or another. 123 Blocks: Interesting tool used in the setups on milling machines. All the ones that I have are defective; the holes do not allow a standard...

I have spent the last few weeks installing a mTech DRO on my Clausing mill. I have documented it on my web page for those of you that might be interested in it. http://www.wentztech.com/metalworking/2011/10/12/clausing-8520-dro-install/ Dale

I wanted to add a cam lock to the tail stock on my 7x10 mini lathe. There are many write ups on the net for this mod, LittleMachineshop.com even sells a conversion kit, but I wanted to build my own, and there is always room for improvement. I did not work from plans, but had an idea of the...

This is billed as an Open Source Machine, reminds me of some the Dave Gingery machines I have seen. Thought some of you might be interested in it. http://opensourcemachine.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimachine Dale

I would put it together and run it. Be sure to put some good way oil on the surfaces (I use Mobile, I got from Enco). I don't think I would exercise it more than you already have. I am working on a 40 year old atlas shaper that still has all the milling marks on the castings, and I have torn...

I purchased an enco BS-0 Dividing head, that I have had my eye on for a while. The fit and finish is far better than I expected. I found a few errors in the tables that are in the manual, so I created an excel spreadsheet that calculates all the available options for the index plates that are...

Liney does not offer this on the web site, but was selling the plans on e-bay with all the materials. The plans are 2 sheets, and is a simple little engine to build. I did not follow the plans for the base. Its an interesting little engine, it does not have valves as is common in most of the...

OK, I am in need of a little help. I have this Chinese built lathe, its a CZ-300a, but is not like the current CZ-300a's found on the internet. It has a 2 1/4-8 thread on the spindle. The book states that it has a MT 4 1/2 short taper in the spindle. The problem is there is not a standard for...

Very nice engine. Yes I love to what the engines that I build run. I have been out of the hobby for a while. Been spending time getting my shop back together. I purchased a new to me Clausing mill last week, and have been cleaning it back up. Keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing. Dale

I have a lathe that has a MT 4.5 in the spindle. I would like to find an adapter to allow me to use my MT 3 tooling. Would also be interested in a 5C collet adapter. Thanks, Dale in Belleville, IL
