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

There are some ways to design zero backlash.? I don't know what is in a Trav-a-dial.? But one way is to use a split gear (imaging two thin gear disks) that are spring loaded in opposite rotation

As a former Trav-a-dial user, I don't know how they did it, but there was no detectable backlash whatsoever. The needle simply reversed direction with the carriage with no pause. It was very precise

For longitudinal travel on my mini lathe I use a 1 inch travel dial indicator thet clamps to the lathe bed. It can be adjusted or removed. I used the 1 inch travel one because it was what had. I would

I think thevonly complain was if need glass they where hard to read. Back in 1970's most shops remove and put DRO on. Then complain about skipping after the glass scale got oily or coolant So never

Digital Scales are best. They tell you exact position and you don’t need to think about back lash. I have had them on my minilathe for years. Dick

Thanks for the explanation. Thats very neat. I wonder how they do with backlash due to direction changes. Tom

All light bulbs are fire hazards if not installed as intenedd in fixtures and especially if you cover the bulb. There is no need to resort i using lights are heaters because you can buy a

A good replacement for standard incandescents would be to look into brooder bulbs - used for keeping eggs warm and also for reptiles. A lot of them put out huge amounts of heat, but there are smaller

The only incandescent buthat are tare hard to find now are 100 watt bulbs. 25 W bulbs are available online and in stores everywhere. Mike Taglieri [email protected]> wrote:

I am surprised the Chinese have not made a Digital Travel A Dial. Maybe with a magnetic mount so use it more than one tool. Dave

Here in Rust Central, Florida near the ocean, I can make things rust by just looking at them. ?My solution is to wire two 25 W bulbs in ?series, and they give out just enough heat. ?I used 2

I do use tri flow at times but that's it. To be honest I have about 15 differant chemicals that I use at any one point depending on need and how I feel. I have several favorites but still, mostly

I have some cans of bike chain lube. These are old ones I don’t like to use on my bike but they have other uses. The formulations vary wildly. Some are wax-based some are oil with a solvent

I started buying WD by the gallons years ago & have several Zep spray bottles laying here & there . I see that Harbor has brought back the re-fillable & pressurize spray

Yea, I admit that wd40 is cheap and does a great job on sanding or generally getting rid of rust. I have better stuff than wd40 but would not use those liberally for general rust removal . A basic
