Thanks John!! I will be reading those links today. Sorry about the hijack. I want to get a set, so this will help a lot. Thanks for starting this. Regards, Fred

John, Do you have the time to do a write up on making your own ER collets and arbor? I have been wanting to try them out. Thanks, Fred

Hi Kerrin, PM sent. Thanks, Fred

Hi Ralph, +32- ouch. I am all over the net today because I twisted my ankle and stayed home. The worst part is that I want to go into the shop, and know it would not be a good idea. I am frustrated. Cheers, Fred PS, Hope it warms up for you!

Guys, Here is a link to the only ones that I am familiar with. http://www.vintageprojects.com/machine-shop/offset-taper-turning.html Fred

Ralph, I will be greedy and ask for more photos of both the off set center and the drilling head. Did you make the form tool in the power tapping photo? I have needed to make some morse taper pieces and don't have enough travel in my compound to do it by hand. I am in the process of making a die...

Ralph, Please post photos! Fred

Vidio1, That looks like very useful tool. Another one for the never ending to make list! Thanks for posting it. Regards, Fred

Kerrin, Thanks for taking the time to find and post all of that information. Now I need to find someone that has the issues and is willing to make copies and send them to me. Does Model Engineer offer that kind of service? Thanks again, Fred

Ralph, Those tools looked great, and handy. I am going to copy at least a couple of them! John, Thanks for posting that link. I will be making one soon. Right after the offset tailstock center. I sent an email to Hemingway to get a price for the kit and postage. I might just get the plans from...

Doc, I think that you found it on Frets, Frank Fords site. http://www.frets.com/HomeShopTech/QuickTricks/CigPaperSub/cigpapersub.html Please keep good hints coming in, I need ALL the help I can get! :-[ :big: Regards, Fred

If the Kero doesn't work, see if you can get a product called Kroil. It is a super penetrant. Kano labs makes it. Fred

Gail, Thank you !! Fred

Hello, I went to the Downloads section following a post on MadModder. But when I try to access the 3 parts of the plan, I can't find anything to open. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks, Fred

purplknif, GHTs Tee nut does exactly that. I described them incorrectly. Instead of hollow, which is what I wrote initially, GHT called them Tubular and the threaded section is completely encased by steel. The stud or bolt cannot go through and hurt the table of the machine. In my case, I...

Chazz, I will have to try that! So far, I have not done anything that worked on the dial that is my experiment. It is on an Atlas milling machine vise that can be swiveled around. It has very shallow marks. I figure that if I can make it work on that, everything else will be easier. ::) :big...

Mike, I like that trick. :bow: Rick, That must have gotten exciting. It feels better answering from the computer than over the phone. Thanks, Fred

Thanks for all of the answers. I was just curious about his choice in material And if it might have had something to with case hardening the pieces, but he doesn't harden them. These are hollow tee nuts of ,I believe, his design. Thanks again, Fred

Hello, In GHTs book ME Workshop Manual, he specifically mentions using f.c.m.s. (not leaded) for the TEE-NUTS, pg 47. I wondered if that is because of a problem with the strength of the material or just his preference. I wanted to make some for my Atlas mill, so I am going to alter some of his...

Awesome work! Thanks for posting them. Any chance that he would be interested in becoming a member and share his knowledge and skill with us? Fred
