Thanks, Richard!

Sounds like a nifty project! Details please?

. Yes, I have both manuals. In excitement, I jumped right in instead of testing the water. Thanks for the help...will keep posted when I can turn a smooth finish (still not there on that). John .

Thank you for the offer, but I have the original manual for the lathe! Black85vette: I think your idea has showed me the error of my ways! I wasn't understanding what I was seeing. Distance: 3.75in; levers set to E-1; time to travel distance was 15sec. Distance: 3.75in; levers set to E-9...

Thank you for the replies! I turned some CR and the result was a finish like fine thread. I asked a machinist at work and he said run the spindle fast and the feed slow. That is what lead me to look for a difference in speeds. The result is I get the exact same finish with any speed I select...

. Hello, 1975 Craftsman/Atlas. I cannot set up to run the carriage feed speed anything different that the spindle speed. I move the selection levers according to the chart, but the speed is always matched to the spindle speed, regardless of the speed I run the spindle. The backgear selection...

. Jadecy, Thank you for the video link. John .

Well... The illustration shows that a large area flat surface is used as the guide/bearing, one for each cylinder. What is the friction loss in hp per cylinder? and is it more efficient that a valve train? Also, as with automatic shotguns that use partial propelling charge to work reload...

My storage HD is in the original computer it came in. It is plugged into my lan and it is an HP8360 with 10GB. It just sits there idleing with Win98SE and I store all files on it from my Laptop (which has a 2GB HD). I have thought of putting it in a special drive box, but this is free so far.

Bogstandard, Just to let you know, I certainly would be interested in having a gander at the finger motors! John

Here is the link to a site with plans for a complete Steam engine (Locomotive) in pdf and dwf formats. http://jpduval.free.fr/ARV_DL_45/Arv_dl_45_plans.htm

Thanks for the link RonM, I do appreciate it! And, I did find out the spindle dia. is 25/32's.

Hello BobWarfield, Well, someone has published the formulae on pipe organ dimensions. It is contained in the following monograph at this link: http://www.mmdigest.com/Tech/pipesRecipe.html Hope it will answer any question you have.

Thanx RonM. Plans would be a great help. Also, could you tell me the diameter of the drawbar? Is it 25/64ths?

I have the Sears Craftsman Commercial 12" and would be very interested in a set of drawings to make a collet chuck for the machine. Also, I have a question about the wiring. It uses a 110/220 Craftsman motor wired for 220v., and a Dayton reversing switch. When going from forward to reverse or...

There is a soution to Vista. Go to a 'Mom & Pop' computer store (like Calvin's Computers in Burgaw) and have Windows XP Professional installed for $89 (price here). A large part of his business this Christmas was 'fixing' new computers purchased for Christmas gifts.

Polycarbonate. Known here as 'metal you can see through'. I have bent it in a brake, and drilled and tapped it to make see through guards on the machines here.

I troubleshoot and maintain packaging equipment and we code the package of over-the-counter drugs with laser machines. A common problem is that the cardboard dust generated by the burning of the code into the carton tends to build up on the flagging eye and the laser won't fire, hence the call...

The buble package contains a drill and a tap, in a gold color and manufactured by KOBALT with a lifetime guarantee.
