Parting in the front tool post on relatively small or light lathes can be a pain. I have a Myford ML7 at home. It's in nice nick, and I have NEVER succeeded in parting at the front. The tool digs

??? ??? Yea , looks like it can be cut down some . These folks sell the drawings separate so a guy/gal can make their own with what they have . I don't see why it really has to be made from CI

Looks like that rear parting tool is designed for 12 inch and bigger lathes. You can probably shave down the casting and alter the dovetails to make it work on your

??? ??? They have a rear mounted parting tool tool post they also sell .? I should buy the crossslide & just have it here for when I'm ready to make one . I need to learn dovetails first

This is on my 11" Sheldon lathe. No, haven't tried snugging the gibs but did lock the saddle. I guess if I am taking the time to make something, tweaking the gibs shouldn't seem like such a

I have the el cheapo Bauer one and yes it works well but the idea on the lathe is for a nice clean square cut and to be able to easily make thick washers, etc.

Make sure your tool is exactly perpendicular to the part/perfectly parallel to the cross-slide travel. I have been at an angle but "the cross slide was pushing the tool perpendicular to the part" and

my first lathe was a 9 inch logan ... needed a crutch approach to do cut-offs. now I have a 13 inch Southbend ... seldom have trouble with cutoffs. Stiffness is the key ... also so far my best

??? ??? I've seen some of those parting tool supports that folks make on youtube in the past . Folks seem to like them ,? but then again its the guy that made it that says its bitchin . These

I got one of these, Nick: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-11-Amp-Deep-Cut-AC-DC-Band-Saw-with-Case-6238-21/203261045 Works great! You can use it at the bench vise and just about anywhere you

Now I know that for some folks parting off in the lathe is routine, but for some of us it's a real PITA. Or can be. I've tried using a nice HSS blade in a holder with lots of oil and freshly-ground

Hi, I'm the buyer and yeah, that link is part of the reason I spent a day driving to/from western NY. I'll have some duplicates -- I've been a subscriber for the past ~10 years -- and will batch

Good for you, but sorry for me! ;) Hopefully the new owner will get lots of use out of it! Bill in OKC William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.) Aphorisms to live by:Good judgement comes from experience.

??? ??? I ave been looking for a semi recent back issue , I bought it when it first came out but can not find it in any of my magazine stacks . A guy wrote a article about a speeds & feeds setup

Jim, Thanks for the update. I'm glad they found a good home. I hauled a big collection of my Dad's HSM 500 miles to my home, and you're right, that's a lot of weight and shipping wouldn't have made

I know I'm a little late in posting this (I'm out of practice), but just a quick msg. to let everyone know my HSM magazine collection sold. Thanks everyone for the experience. -js

??? ??? Damn my bad , that was for the V-belt model . sorry bout that . ??? ??? animal

While rebuilding the head of my Bridgeport Series I variable speed, I wondered about the accuracy of the dial, so I bought a Jeff-special chinese digital optical tach from Amazon. You apply a piece

Huh, my lathe only has three steps in the flat-belt step pulley. My tach is giving numbers that "feel" right, given how fast things seem to be moving: 509, 300, 175 direct drive 95, 84, 33 back
