Have a look at www.brazingbook.com Some years back I had d/l a pdf version, "The Brazing Book" from Handy & Harman Canada but that website has disappeared. It is now available from: www.fpga-faq.org/sb-metal_hold/CD_08/​TheBrazingBook.pdf

Kozo Hiraoka's book "Building the Climax" From Live Steam Press has a very detailed segment on cutting bevel gears. This includes making/hardening the gear cutter, blank gear-holding jigs and the actual cutting of the gears using a lathe. Was able to have a look at a friend's copy but an...

Second the comment about the nice work quality. Are the spokes cartridge cases? And is there a story here?

Just wondering... If the motor/vfd combo requires "x" amps is it enough that the breaker is that value or is higher capacity required to allow for startup current?

Thanks for the replies. Great idea with the MT spindle. I can get a 3MT adapter with a blank, unhardened nose that I can machine.

I have a chance to purchase a little-used (if at all) 4-jaw universal (scroll type where all jaws move together instead of the independent style) at a great price. It is intended for a Taig lathe. The mounting is a 3/4"-16 internal thread. How best to mount it on a mini-lathe? Thanks

Dave Fenner wrote a series of articles for Model Engineers' Workshop (www.model-engineer.co.uk) about the mini-lathe. Part 12, in #144, November 2008, was a construction article for a long cross slide. While it did not include T-slots per se, the author noted that the increased thickness of his...

I don't have a specific reference but the British Model Engineers' Workshop (MEW) would be a good place to have a look. A series of forums that you could post. www.model-engineer.co.uk

Extending the theme of BrianS post (and avoiding hi-jacking it) wondering if anyone is a recent convert to one of these systems. I have looked at Lincoln (for sale in Canada at Canadian (aka Crappy) Tire...

Lots of info from Lincoln, Hobart & Miller Hobart has multi-topic forums http://www.hobartwelders.com/weldtalk/ Miller MIG info http://www.millerwelds.com/education/basicMIG/index.htm Not to forget Lincoln education...

The latest Arc Euro Trade catalog (#7) lists "Brass Gibs Set" for the C3 Mini-Lathe. Part # is C3-BRASS-GIBS; cost is 15 British Pounds. Website is www.arceurotrade.co.uk I have not used them. Usual disclaimers apply.

If you can obtain Model Engineers' Workshop magazine (http://www.model-engineer.co.uk/), Dave Fenner authored a multi-part article on many modifications to this lathe. It started in the Holiday (Christmas) 2007 issue and ended in Dec 2008. Specifically, Part 13 of the series, Issue # 145, Dec...

I have a vertical mill (http://www.busybeetools.com/products/MILLING-M%7B47%7DC-MINI-DIGITAL-READOUT-MT3.html). It claims 2.5 inch face mill capacity (I have used only 1.5 inch to date) in the vertical mode. Head can be rotated 90 degrees to create a pseudo-horizontal mill. Obviously, it would...

Built this one (Pop Mech,Feb 1976) many years ago. It worked well & could slice 1/8" thick slices from 4" diameter mild steel. Sold it & bought a metal bandsaw. Latter doesn't do it better - just faster. Often wondered why I let it go. Some thoughts: 1. try to obtain a proper power hacksaw...

Down Ottawa way there is a used tool & equipment dealer Cardon, No 7 Hwy, E of Perth, 613-326-0007 (closed Mon & Tue but open Sun) [email protected] The usual disclaimers; I have seen used Myford lathes but have no idea what is there now.

I chose http://littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=1697&category=566826475 (4 inch independent with adapter plate for mini-lathe). The company also has 5 inch and adapter plates. I considered the 5 inch but felt it would be limited in use due to the jaws striking the ways...

Wondering if a die grinder, for eg. http://www.dewalt.com/tools/metalworking-grinders-die-grinders-dw887.aspx would offer suitable bearing runout? I would guess that it would be better than a Dremel based on above comments but would it be good enough?
