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

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

??? ??? 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

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

I don't know the spindle speed -- I have a tach, but haven't measured & written down the speeds at each setting -- as fas as it would go with my 1725rpm motor, but there's a pulley exchange there

??? ??? What speed were you using ? ??? ??? animal

??? ??? ??? Yea , thanks . It's always interesting to see how folks make do with whats in hand . That came our pretty darn slick . ??? ??? animal
