Project? My last big project was a CNC conversion of a HF Mini Mill. I added computer contoled motor to all three axes. Now I’m on to the current project which is robotics parts. Many of the parts

Just finish a 22 caliber pellet gun slug maker. I use mine mostly for making nickel silver ferrules and seat hardware for fly rods. But you never know what I will do next. Have the mini-mill also.

Doing a Hemingway Kits Machinist’s Hammer and Gray Kits Machinist’s Clamps as learning projects. I’ll also step through some TouchDRO videos on using the app while machining on the lathe to

Thanks for all the thoughts and suggestions! It comes to mind, I should check with the test bar in the spindle alone, without the tailstock. There should be no deflection issue running an indicator

Like Mark says, it's basically up to you. If you're happy with that you're good to go!??I wanted better so I tinkered and adjusted a lot. I replaced the two bolts in the back of the headstock with

If you got those numbers with no shims under your headstock and no adjustments to your tailstock I'd say that is pretty darned good.? Since you now have a nice test bar you can tweak it as much as

That sounds like me. Most mined has been tooling for work. Fun to do but in retirement is not there. Dave

It depends on your expectations, Bret. I would have expected better but have lived with worse! Bill in Boulder wrote:

Nothing major here currently. Last project was making some inserts for dining room chairs. They're threaded 9/16 x 16 on the outside and 3/8 x 24 on the inside. Neither are common in the real world

I’ve installed a new 16in bed on my 7x12 LMS 4200 mini-lathe and added a new tailstock with DRO. I sent for a 350mm MT3 Test Bar from India rated 0.0001” runout (not defined) and mounted it

Right now my projects is setting up my lathe .? Now what is next? Dave

This one looks exactly like the one I had.? The spindle took collets directly but they were Wade special and it came with a full set by 1/64" up to 1-1/16".? If I remember correctly it had a 1-3/8"

I just spent some time over on Tony's site lookin at some Wade lathes . They made some nice lookin units . Not sure which Wade ya had butyh theres 2 different Wade's to choose from on the site . This

In the late 50's I bought a 8" Wade toolroom lathe that was reportedly made in 1939 for $275. It came with a beautiful Wade milling attachment that replaced the compound. It had a degree graduation

PDF files on Chuck backing plates I purchased a backing plate for a 5" 4 jaw chuck to a? 4" lathe mount from My Little Machine Shop. Dave

For years there have been "Milling Kits" comprising an angle bracket that mounted the compound vertically as a slide and a table/vise that mounted on the compound. At least 100 years old. Bill wrote:
