Dnalot, I hope the healing of your hand is moving quickly. I have a few questions: The burns on your hands, in the pics, indicate the damage to the hand, now you say that the pieces of glove that was placed into the oven work as expected, except the gauntlet. So the question must be asked...

Viscon, take heart several of the problems will buff Out. Nice winter project, Good Luck.

10K Pete, not to beat this horse into the ground. I agree running big units(that you are getting paid to run) requires high end equipment and I am the first to reach for the best protection possible. These gloves from HF are, at the very best marginal, but the question still must be asked. If...

dnalot, sorry, for the injury, but I do not understand the test. You say the tests where done in the oven, were you hands in the gloves at the time of the test? If the interior of the gloves were as you say "sticky" at approx 150F why go higher? You say the finger material is different and held...

Compressor man, You have already crossed the first hurdle, cost and getting what you pay for. The second item you must look at is how heavy is your work and how precise is the work, I bought an old bridge port 12 inch rotary. I got exactly what I paid for, 130 Lbs. of a very good table...

Nice, neat and clean shop. What type of work do you run thru your shop. Thanks for posting

Bill, thank you for the time you spent downloading the RF quill photos. I will save this until I have the time to tear in to the mill. Again, thank you. Best of luck

John, thanks for the offer, but your explanation of the construction will allow me to me to move forward.

Bill, it is strange that you post this at this time. I am having trouble with my collects going in to the quill and it seems as though they become stuck when I try to change them out. I to have a RF-30 that I have used for the last 8 years. I hate to ask,but was it difficult to remove the...

From Arkansas a big Welcome. Your energy is needed and your interest will fuel your talents. Good Luck

Windy, thank you for posting, this is a very interesting hobby. Each time I read your posts I walk away with more questions, Can you suggest a site or publication that will start at the lowest level of flash steam power plants? You said that you used a solid lube, what would that be and how does...

1Fitch, $400.00 would be a great price and I am sure you can put it right. Good Luck

Since, you do not how to run the unit I would say stay away. For a few dollars more you can buy a new lathe from Grizzly or any number of suppliers of Chinese lathes. They will come with a warranty and spares can be bought. You will not have to make do due to worn parts and ways. I paid...

Hack, When I first read your post I did not read your location. If you have access to a McMaster-Carr and or Grainger Catalog you will find several hydraulic lift tables. If nothing else you can see the lift table designs and build or buy one for yourself. I use a 1500 lbs lift table that was...

1Fitch, You are going to love the new mill. I might suggest checking on E-Bay for some machine mounts. These will isolate and help to level the machine. I bought some pads for my mill and the machine is smooth and level. Good Luck

Gerhard, I think the project is going to be outstanding. The vehicle was a very interesting bit of engineering. I went to Google and found several different photos. I am sure you have seen these and many more. Thanks for joining the forum, I/we will be happy to help if needed and look forward...

Gordon, just went to another machine site and it appears that the quill seal is the problem. One person took out the old lube and replaced it with Mobil gear oil, problem has all but gone away. Another poster said the Chicago Raw Hide should be able the cross reference the seal if you are going...

1Fitch, is the machine under power? If not can it be connected long enough to check the condition? Is this a new machine?,(should have been the first question). I have had my mill/drill for many years and the unit works well in my world. Check out the forum many of these units are working and...

It seems that oils and/lubrication topics are the same weather it is about machines, motorcycles or any number of machines that do work. The fact remains, Lube and keep all surfaces clean. What ever works for you is the best you can do. Good Luck
