There are red x's in all the boxs in all the boxes where someone puts a smiley face, wink, in the new box. Its in all the threads , but just on this forum. My system is an older one Office 2000. Thanks for any help. Hal

How do I get Rid of all the red XX"S in the little square boxes ??? Hal

Tom A question about the switch you added to double the reverse speed. Is the switch something like a toggle switch, thats operated manualy, or is it a switch thats automatic, once set? Hal

Tom Great machines. On your EE what is the second thread plate below you control dials ? Is it for metric threads ? Were you lucky enough to have a metric set of gears come with the lathe ? How do you like the Black Max motor drive? Hal

Spacious shop . Rarely do shops show floor space. :) Nice old round dial 10EE. Hal

With out stepping on any one's toes, I would like to set the record straight. You CAN NOT make something stiffer by cutting flutes in it...... If you have 2 rods, of the same material and diameter, and cut flutes in one. The one with flutes WILL Flex more under the same load...... If having...

Maybe the wife said he had to sell them, so he put a outrageous price on them. Hal

Is anyone plan on attending the Rapid City show this weekend ?? Hal

Evan on the Home shop machinist forum built a CNC mill. Its worth checking out. I thik its a 4 axis. Hal

Kenny You might be able to run the lathe on a VFD. I think that's how they work by changing the Hz.. Just a thought. Looks like you got a great deal.. Hal

Richard Go over on the practical machinist forum and ping Brett from Portland. He has a Holbrook and is very knowable. You might also do a search on that forum also. In just the last few weeks someone posted a queston about a Holbrook and I thought someone referred them to an on line manual. Hal

I try not top put heavy things inside the car with me. I have a fear of wreaking and having them hitting me in the head. Kinda like being inside the clothes dryer with a couple of bricks. If you had to stop suddenly they could fly into the front seat. Hal

If you don't have a piece of sewer pipe handy some people find a small rubber tire to keep the ball in place. Hal

Norseman out of St Paul MN are quality bits. They also offer some of their drill bits with 3 flats on the shank for a non slip grip in the drill chuck. Hal

I see they have a Moore Jig Bore. A nice clean shop and great looking work. Hal

Mike First things first, pictures ;D Everyone likes to see lathes. With pictures people can help with make and model of the lathe and can also so tell if the lathe is complete. Hal

Good idea. In the shop where we work on large stuff the metal work bench has a piece of angle iron welded to the front of it. Works great for most things. The first time I saw a Jeweler's/Watch repairs work bench and I saw the catch drawer I thought it was very clever. It would be an easy add...

Matt Some guys have used the 4" carbide trim saw blades and had good luck. Hal

Doc I fixed an old clyinder record player main spring by simply grinding a new set of "ears" on the end of the main spring, as one of the orginal ears had broken off. You might get lucky. I do have an extra crank handle that I picked up at a garage sale, I'll look and check the thread on it...
