I have a vacuum attachment for use with the lathe. It turns on when the lathe is on and picks up any and all swarf at the source. This is cleaner than anything I have seen. Dick

I could not agree more , Charles.? ? The shields are an attempt to limit the "crunchy floor", and could well wear out their welcome.? ?For me, versus the floor, I try to remember to wear a face

Most times I use a piece of cardboard held in my left hand. This is in part to the fact that I'm a paraplegic and therefore have to support myself with my left forearm on the control cover on the

Nice workmanship on the shield, but I would find it way too annoying.? That's why you can probably look at 10,000 photos of lathes and not see such a thing.? Of course, it COULD be because nobody

*Often a lot of swarf ends up on the floor in front of the lathe.??? In an effect to limit this I made some front shielding and widened the ways rubber cover.?? Other members may have such

It would have help me in 1960's What I was told It more interesting in 1942 training new machinist with new teachers.? They used the South Bend How to Run A Lathe . It work till they got? 4 jaw

Thanks for all the interesting comments. "The Good The Bad and the Ugly" certainly seems to apply to this old lathe! Yes I did learn how to quickly set up a 4-jaw chuck, and how to go about teaching

Fortunately today there's maker spaces popping up all over the place & they seem to be the gateway drug for some . I wish they were around when I was growing up . animal

??? Congratulations , That's a might fine thing you & Peter are doing . Did any of the students have plans to get a lathe after taking your class ? Keep it up ! thanks animal

Thanks for that overview. It's heartening to hear that there are still some people out there interested in learning machining. Curious if the students have their own machines, or maybe have access to

It sounds like a typical course for machinist. Most just 3 jaw here. I think if course was more on sharp tool bit for different materials and the correct speeds. Technics that used by machinist would

Sounds like you sparked some new machinists! Although the one bit about your partner fixing the chucks "We had two 3-jaw chucks with significant problems with runout. By switch back plates and jaws

Wow, I certainly wish I could go to something like that. Great job ! george

*FINAL REPORT ON TEACHING A LATHE COURSE, IN THAMES NEW ZEALAND* I am writing this report to help anyone else who may want to run a similar course for a community group like Men's Shed. Well, we had

Here's plenty of info on how anaerobic adhesives work: < https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/anaerobic-adhesive > Roy

I can second Roy's retaining compound recommendation. I bought that after some tips for some bench sander rollers I made, and had to use it for something else recently which I foolishly thought I

I have 2" too. I found if did not need the longer stoke would get way. I use the one inch 99% of time. Dave

I use a 1" travel indicator that I epoxied a magnet onto the back of. This works the same as a clamped-on indicator, but I can use it on two different lathes and also my mini-mill. It would've been

That works great . I have same thing. Dave
