Re: New file uploaded to [email protected]
In addition to the Yahoo files I have also uploaded the messages...
An archive of ALL the Yahoo messages.? It is in MBOX format.? if you are using Windows you will need a program to open these files.? The following link is an option for a "free" program to do this and should be a trusted download site. "https://sourceforge.net/projects/mbox-viewer/" Providing these files in this format gives everyone the opportunity to have access to them and keep them for future reference.? The program also make it MUCH easier to find information contained in the messages.? Unlike Yahoo. It also means we dont have to "pay" to migrate to this group... -- Chris (CB) |

Re: new guy
开云体育Jonathan You have to remember these lathes were designed as inexpensive hobby lathes. Keeping that in mind they have their limits.? Improvements to "any" lathe can be done.? But ultimately you still have an inexpensive hobby lathe. Your best bet to stiffen things up is to mount the lathe to a nice heavy stable surface. If you want or need a longer bed they did make longer beds so hunt one down. But you will still have the same design just in longer form which will introduce additional issues for stiffness and twist. Now if you want to accomplish both its time to design and build a new bed.?? :) A casting AKA Gingery style or a steel weldment are options as is tubing filled with dampening material. You CAN finish these at home with hand tools and time.? Or a
machine shop could do the job quick with some $$$

Re: Newbie
开云体育Mark Some info for you DISCLAIMER --? I am including some links to Ebay.? They are for reference as Ebay is "convenient" to find things.? I am? NOT the seller, dont know the sellers and am not recommending a purchase from them or even Ebay.? -- ?? Just FYI? :) This is the original 4 jaw chuck.? Actually a nice piece... <> This is an "import" chuck to fit.? All things considered these
import chucks are actually good deals.? YES I know.? But seriously
the accuracy of the chuck will be better than the accuracy of a 50
year old hobby lathe.? The drawback is the "length" of the chuck
or how far out it hangs on the spindle.? <> And this is another option...? ER32 chuck <> The import chucks can be had from many sources.? So check your
prices.? You can make your own backplates and save some $.
