Magnetic indicator base demagnetizing
I picked up an old Mitutoyo magnetic indicator stand on ebay for a great price.? Has a bit of very light corrosion that I think I can address pretty easily and even if I can't, it's still very

Re: Mini-mill vs. Mill-drill?
I acquired a G1004 mill about45 years ago and had good success with iit. The only thing it won't do is nod the head up and down and slide the ram in and out. The only problems have been the spindle

Re: AR Warner HSS Inserts
I've been using them for several years now on just about everything I turn & like them a lot . I'm still on my original inserts that came with the kit & haven't touched the spare that comes with the

Re: Mini-mill vs. Mill-drill?
You've probably already found it on the Grizzly site.? They still show it, but as a discontinued model (G1006) but the specs are all

Re: AR Warner HSS Inserts
I'd agree with that experience. I use the narrow ones (1/32 & 1/16") for grooving.? Much better than using a home made tool out of old hacksaw blades! Dave The Emerald Isle

Re: AR Warner HSS Inserts
I have a couple. They work good on brass but I prefer carbide for steel or aluminum over the Warner ones as they're totally flat. Ryan

Re: Motor protection
That first way I was going fix the low speed overheating is a axillary fan But could see or feel the real temp of motor . My motor came from factory with slow blow fuse . Next was a thermal fuse or

Re: Motor protection
Why not attack the basic problem? If the motor's internal cooling fan doesn't move enough air at low speeds, simply add an external fan to provide clean, cool air. "Muffin" fans are readily ( cheaply

Re: Motor protection
The ammeter is great if motor is turning at high speed. When turning low speed is when motor gets not because the cooling fan is turn at low speed. When did research I found most motors would burn up

Re: Mini-mill vs. Mill-drill?
Thanks for this very helpful evaluation. I'm hoping to go see it this week. I think there's really a fundamental difference between my mini-mill and mini-lathe. I now have an 11" Logan lathe and it

Re: Mini-mill vs. Mill-drill?
No problems.? Good mill.? Not good like a Bridgeport, but fine for my garage.? And, of course, no 3-phase motor to have to deal with.? To get it home, I rented an engine lift (for lifting car

Re: Mini-mill vs. Mill-drill?
Charles it looks like I have the same import knee mill as the one you mentioned , I was told mine was sold by KBC Tools in the 90's maybe late 80's . Mine is still in 2 pieces from the 350 mile move .
By mike allen · #119377 ·
Re: Mini-mill vs. Mill-drill?
That mill is still being made & sold by the usual suspects . Grizzly has 2 , well really one but it's sold with or without a DRO . Probably the main difference of these Grizzly ones is it looks like

Re: Motor protection
I'm in the process of adding a DC ammeter to mine, inline with the feed to the Fwd/Rev switch. I bought a 3amp one based on Youtube videos and it looks like it will be a good match in testing, but a 4

Re: Motor protection
I order the thermometer for my lathe The advantage is I see the temperature rising and let lathe run higher speed to cool the motor down . All the other ways only till you *you to hot ?.* The
