[7x12MiniLath Lathe Mill table - OT
Some cranks & gears off a bike ? Once ya figure out the center of gravity on the mill the ya can start kickin ideas around . DC motors have a good hunk of torque for something like this , it's just finding the right one that may take some time . DOn't forget the limit switches . 40 + years back I have make a setup for all tghe short guys in manufacturing to be able to flip one of our large computer cabines over on its side so they could install anti tip parts . I got my hands on a sizzor life @ the size we needed & we made a flat bed that pivoted like on a dump truck .On the back of the flat bed we put some brackets so they could slide in piece on unistrut tha theld the cabinet to th eflat bed & acted as the handle for the tipping parts . Once we figured out the center of gravity on the cabinet so place the flatbed tipping point it was soothe sailing . Promoters have bee using rotating stages so folks don't have to wait for all the equipment changes between bands for years . animal On 1/30/25 10:08 AM, Ralph Lehotsky via groups.io wrote:

Used pricing 10
I've upgraded to dedicated CNC machines and was looking for suggestions on how to price mini-lathe (Grizzly G8688) and mini-mill (Harbor Freight) for sale. Used but well taken care of. Fully adjusted. Each has a fair amount of aftermarket accessories such as MT#2 chuck, A2Z QC toolpost, ER32 collet chuck/collets, 4-jaw chuck --- power feed, belt-drive, air spring, rotary table (plus all original parts. Stand/table for each. I was thinking of starting out at 60% of Grizzly/HF new price plus 50% of new cost for the accessories. Is this realistic? In the end it's whatever the local market (West Coast USA) will support. There is a bone stock G8688 on FB marketplace with no accessories and some minimal tooling (worse condition than mine) for $1000 which strikes me as "highly optimistic".

Armoire's machine shop the new frontier 11
Any do this Machine shop in Armoire's? This probably the new frontier for hobby. 1) Low cost 2) Space saving 3) Easy to move 4) Low cost in materials [COLOR="#669900"] I first look at mini as just a ???? After for over year it is nice. I changed because needing to downsize. With a few upgrades like a good tool post made great lathe. [/COLOR] Then later talking to son lacking space. So then we look hobby Armoire.

Grizzly G4003 - modifications to RideTheGearTrain software to accommodate this lathe #lead-screw #threading
Grizzly G4003 Lathe-modifications to RideTheGearTrain (free online to calculate the change gears needed to cut a thread. I had quite a busy time in the days leading up to Christmas. I had contacts from a couple of people who needed their lathe gearboxes added to the program (RideTheGearTrain). One lathe had crazy features I had not heard of before. It was a Chinese-made Grizzly G4003 (2005) model sold by the American Grizzly company. The spindle shaft is 16mm and the leadscrew shaft is 19mm, so they have two sets of change gears. This meant that I had to modify the program to handle it. It would have been a huge job to re-write the whole program, but not long ago I added a filter system. The user enters ALL their change gears initially, but they also click the button, currently labeled "Exclude Large gears", and here the user can enter a separate list of gears permitted for each position (or stud) in the gear train. If the program produces results with gears that are NOT permitted in any position, those results are deleted (filtered out) and only the reduced list of results is displayed. I added this filtering system a few months ago to prevent the display of results where a gear is too large to fit on the machine. A user had this problem. So the user enters a size limit (by number of teeth) for any position they want restricted. For example on some lathes there is a casting near the stud gear that prevents large gears from being fitted. If the size limit for the stud gear is 60 teeth, then the user enters 60 as the maximum size for the stud gear. Results using larger gears are filtered out. An advancement on this idea was to actually measure the distance between studs on the banjo, and from the DP (Diametral Pitch of the gears) the size of gears can be calculated. When there are gears on two 'studs' (or shafts) on the banjo, the radius of each gear is proportional to the number of teeth on that gear. The space required is the sum of the two radii. We can use the sum of the teeth on the two gears and from that calculate whether the two gears will fit between the two studs. If they don't fit, the filter program will remove the results from the list of results to be displayed. This method is rather complicated and I doubt whether anyone uses it. I haven't had any feedback about it. I did not have my Boxford in Tennessee when I wrote this. Now I am in New Zealand I could measure my lathe and see if it works. It probably isn't foolproof because fitting one pair of large gears on the banjo will limit how much room is available for the next pair. We could add up the teeth of ALL the gears on the gear train, but that would only work if the gears are arranged in s straight line, which they are not. Some more thought may be required. Going back to the weird Grizzly lathe, it has another quirk. It is fitted with a 91/86 compound pair for imperial to metric conversion. It is designed in such a way that this gear cannot be flipped over. RideTheGearTrain automatically tries flipping over compound pairs and it is quite surprising to me that it produces nearly as many results with the conversion gear flipped. A conversion gear with a ratio approximating 1.27 is fairly close to 1.25 which happens to be quite handy! So, how can we prevent RideTheGearTrain from displaying results with this gear flipped? Easy. Just use the filter system to tell the program to filter out any results where the gear in position Compound 2 (comp2) is larger than 87. Now with this filter system we can accommodate this peculiar lathe. Now I understand better why it is done this way. The gears designed to go on the leadscrew shaft have a long extended boss on one side - like a built-in spacer. If you put it with the spaced to the right, the gear engages with the metric conversion gear. If you flip the leadscrew gear over, so that the spacer is on the left, it now meshes with the gear on the compound pair which acts as an idler. This is used for cutting imperial threads. These leadscrew gears with the extensions cannot be used as stud gears. So, this lathe comes w

Damage to electronic devices as raised about Digital Electronic Vernier Calipers. 9
Dear All, I know this is partially off the original topic. But the possibility that certain workshop equipment may affect or even damage everyday equipment, viz a flat screen TV etc., seems very important. So I hope you will understand my request, as I have no knowledge of such matters. Thus may I have some detailed advice. I am not into Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding, (as mentioned, it’s technically called Gas Tungsten Arc Welding, GTAW - thank you for the info.) I only undertake a very limited amount of Metal Inert Gas (MIG) and Gas, plus I did do some ‘old style’ Arc welding some years ago. So, presumably as it says (TIG) has a non eroding electrode. (Plus an inert consumable rod.) Then the TIG Arc causes/releases a large amount of unrefined/uncontolled Radio Frequency (RF) signals. This then swamps and damages any electronics in the vicinity. Am I correct? A simple Y or N will be more than OK, thankyou. The power of the TIG arc (welder) and the distance to the piece of electronic equipment, increases or decreases the risk of damage. Again correct? (Presumably the inverse square law applies. So the manufacturer could(?) give guidance about the risks?) Does that mean MIG is not so bad, as it has a sacrificial electrode? Again, I have no idea. Anyone know? Plus - Thanks for the info on the solar storms. Very interesting. (Everyday is a day at school, even when you have seen a lot of Summers.)

Digital Electronic Vernier Caliper 23
I can not work without many "Digital Electronic Vernier Caliper" in my workshop. However, they are always hiding them self when I am doing my job. Lately I have discovered that they are missing the numbers on the display. Both old and new ones. Suddenly the numbers are being negative or shutting down. I am blaming a Comunicacion tower not far from the building. Someone's that has a good advice for me? Best from Johannes

Three Jaw Chuck / Spindle Bore Opening 15
Recently have started to use my little ole lathe. My machining background stems from “repair” as opposed to “fabricating” and so one of the first things I did was acquire a 4-jaw chuck. After having the lathe for near 5 years now, I discovered the bore of the 3-jaw chuck is smaller than the lathe spindle opening. I did not have a reason to notice this discrepancy before because I hardly ever used the 3-jaw chuck until lately for some repetitive work. Is this something we just have to accept as an attribute of the machine, or is there a three jaw chuck available with a bore opening as large as the spindle opening? John

Headstock indexer 7
Catching up on my electronic subscriptions the Oct 2024 issue of Model Engineers Workshop has a pretty interesting diy indexer for the mini lathe . This is a English Magazine , but it's available at most book stores that have a fair sized magazine dept . I subscribe to this & read online . It seems they have more projects in one month than the other 2 mags do in half a year . They should be having their black Friday subscription drive going on about now . https://www.classicmagazines.co.uk/issues/MEW?source=Digital22

I want to diet to live longer so, had few of all green diet. So ask oncologist how long do people live with my diagnose she said no makes pass 10 years. I did ask two doctors and said samething, I also ask American Cancer twice they said ther stop hearing after 9 years. Now it is over 15 years hard for me real know how to feel or how to plan anything. I post the diet om America Cancer Please post I hope helps others [URL]https://csn.cancer.org/discussion/327889/what-to-eat-to-live-longer#latest[/URL] [/QUOTE]
