Re: Slot-milling worked out on my 10k
> It appears that this selector fork has a bearing function on the thrust faces. Did you consider that and what it rubs against when selecting the material?
I opted for something with slightly?higher wear resistance than the paper-mache original :D?
Seriously, though: I put some thought into it, but this is a hobby machine, and the total hour count will be measured in dozens of hours.? I used a bit of scrap that I believe to be cast iron, it's bearing against a steel flange, and it'll be packed in grease.? As I understand it, cast iron on steel is generally an effective bearing surface, and shouldn't gall. My part should?still wear first, so if it does fail I can make a new one with a different?material.
I'm taking a risk, since I'm not 100% sure of the material, but for my use, I think it'll be OK. I imagine bronze would be better, but I didn't have any, and they didn't use a particularly reliable material initially.

Hi Rogan, nice bit of improvised milling, and I hope it works OK for you.
It appears that this selector fork has a bearing function on the thrust faces. Did you consider that and what it rubs against when selecting the material?

Subject: [SouthBendLathe] Slot-milling worked out on my 10k
I posted a while back about needing to cut a slot without a milling machine; I thought I'd circle back and let you all know how it worked out.
The part I made is the back-gear engagement shoe for a Jet JVM-1044 bridgeport clone milling machine. It lifts a sprocket to engage with the bull gear that drives the quill when in back gears. I'm rebuilding the mill because I couldn't use the "front" gears, due to a horrible racket coming from the head.. the old shoe had broken, and I think it wasn't fully disengaging (although I'm not positive about that... still investigating).
Anyhow, I needed to cut a ~0.300" deep slot, about 0.195" wide, and 1" long. I started by laying it out, then cut three kerfs with a bandsaw, and broke out the two loose bits that remained, so most of the material was taken out that way, but the slot needs a good finish, and it needs to be a good sliding fit on a pin in the milling machine.
I put two 5/16 threaded holes in the T-nut for my tool holder and clamped the part to that, using a stack of shims to get the appropriate height, then used the compound to dial in the surface so it was parallel with the cross-slide.
I dialed in a 3/16 carbide endmill in the 4-jaw to ~0.0005" of concentric, and took three 0.100" deep passes, running as fast as the spindle would go, in the slowest powered cross-feed setting.
I had to adjust shims to get another ~0.010" of width, took three more passes (careful to avoid climb milling) and it was done (well, with the slot).
Here's a video of the milling op on the lathe:
I'm attaching a few photos of the old / new finished parts, and a shot of the lathe setup.

Re: Slot-milling worked out on my 10k
??? ??? Thanks , heres the google #'s in case you want to check
yer tach
??? ??? 48, 80, 96, 137, 165 and 276 r.p.m. in backgear and
244, 415, 502, 706, 844 and 1435 r.p.m. in direct drive. With V-belt
drive the speeds became approximately: 52, 72, 95, 112, 130,
150, 195 and 265 r.p.m. in backgear and 285, 370, 495, 570, 670,

USPS media mail rules was Re: [SouthBendLathe] Home Shop Machinist Magazines
I sell collectable comics and mags via eBay and have kicked this dead horse down the street many times. My *experience* is also that Media Mail items can go missing, even with tracking. I sold a DVD in mid-January and here's where it is today:
Media Mail rules applies to any publications (not just periodicals) containing advertising, including in-house ads for other publications. There is no mention of "new" or "used" and no exceptions for comic books, church publications, or in-house corporate newsletters.
I ship everything parcel post or first class depending on weight and customers do not complain.
Per section 170 of the DMM, <>
"Books, including books issued to supplement other books, of at least
eight printed pages, consisting wholly of reading matter or scholarly
bibliography, or reading matter with incidental blank spaces for
notations and containing no advertising matter other than incidental
announcements of books. Advertising includes paid advertising and the
publishers‘ own advertising in display, classified, or editorial
style."

Re: Home Shop Machinist Magazines
Hmm, I need to sell a collection of art magazines,? by the late Mr Hefner.? Most issues 1970- 90s, a few earlier and later and a bunch of the special issues.? And 13 boxes of comic books.? I'm keeping the MW, HSM, Fine Woodworking and Fine Homebuilding issues.?
The Village Press books are really nice if not cheap. Randolph Bulgin's in particular.?
Old expired advertising is not
advertising, it is nostalgia or memorabilia...
New issues may be a problem tho .. Just

This
effort would possibly be 4-5 boxes, 200 issues at 50
per box? 40 per box? altho. 40 years would be 480
issues of HSM 240 + MW240 plus a few specials, so
there are still some missing issues....

If I understood correctly, he has 40
years worth of magazines there. It's going to be
quite the effort to pack and ship. Quite a bit of
postage, too. Worth it to me, but I'll understand
if it's not worth it to him. :)

Yeah, shipping might be a bit costly.? Maybe
cheaper in USPS flat rate boxes than media mail in any event.?
USPS still generally the best rates, and safer than the clowns
with the brown trucks in any case.? Occasionally Fedex Ground is
cheaper than USPS.? I sent a 50# box via Fedex Ground from SA,
TX to PA for $120 vs the $200 USPS wanted, which is a really
weird thing.

Re: Home Shop Machinist Magazines
Does not apply to shipping a bunch of old mags to a buyer. This is for shipping brand spanking new magazines to subscribers, one magazine at a time.

Can’t mail magazines using USPS Media Mail apparently because they contain advertising. But this article says cheapest method is to use USPS Marketing Mail.

Re: Home Shop Machinist Magazines
I've been buying them as I find one I need (for certain values of "need" anyway) since ebay was a pup, and ordering from Village Press when I can't find them any other way. Getting a bunch of them in one swell foop would be really good. IIRC, oldest issue I have is from early 90's, as that's about when I first found out about them. Moved too often before then, and spent five years overseas, too.?

True, but it is possible, as i bought

This offer at about $1.25 is an
excellent bargain seeing as 99c was 7 years ago. Don't kick
