Thank you, Yes I am sure it is 1/2 inch and have access to a 1/2 inch 10 tap, which of course does me no good.

ACME threads
Fred Flintstone
Hello all, I hope everyone had a great holiday, I have an old vise I am trying to restore, it is a small vise, and it is missing a t type nut internally and I have to tap a new one. I have not cut an ACME thread since high school over 50 years ago. This thread is 6 per inch and the diameter is 1/2 inch. I am at a total loss as to what to do and from what I have seen 6 TPI is not standard either. I need all the help I can get on this. Thank you, Stoeger |
Re: Home shop adventures
As I was leaving to run some Saturday morning errands years ago, I said good morning to the neighbor in his newly built garage as he was getting ready to put up a new garage door opener. Several hours later upon arriving home I walked over to see how he was progressing. He was having trouble drilling holes in the wood header and said he had just bought the drill bit the day before but he screwed up because he bought metal cutting bits instead of wood cutting bits. I looked around and at every place he had run a lag bolt into the wood to fasten the hardware was a blackened hole where the drill bit had burnt a hole in the wood. I politely told him the button on the drill would switch it into the correct direction. He was quite embarrassed to say the least but at least this last hole he was drilling went much easier. ? ![]() ![]()

Re: Home shop adventures
开云体育I suppose it's easy done. Not that I ever have, I think. Back in September '73 when I started my British Rail sponsored Engineering degree course with 3 months in Derby carriage works apprentice school, the machining instructor regaled us with a wartime story. The railways were a reserved occupation then, so he had remained in the works as a machinist, mostly setting up capstan lathes for the large influx of initially unskilled female labour. One such managed to run an entire cycle with the spindle revolving backwards. The output product was to some extent recognisable... Needless to say, he had a bit more to do than a "quick touch up"!

The drill didn't seem to be working as quickly as I had expected, maybe because this drill and drill bits usually get put to work on wood and drywall. Anyway, I put the drill in reverse at one point to back out a drill bit. Chucked in a larger drill bit and went to open up the hole I was working on in the angle iron and the drill worked like total crap. It wouldn't drill worth two cents. I chucked in a bit one size smaller and got the same result. I went up to 5/16 of an inch on the drill size and that worked like crap too. After looking things over for a minute, I realized I had been working with the drill in reverse for the last few sizes I had attempted. AAAARGH!!! After a quick trip to the basement and a touch up of the drill bits on the bench grinder, I returned to the garage, put the drill in FORWARD, and drilled the holes in the angle iron as if it were made of butter. So, what's the moral of this story? Drink more coffee before picking up a hand drill? Don't work with my glasses all sweated up? Engage Brain before using tools? How many engineers does it take to drill a hole in a piece of angle iron? I have no idea, but I thought this would make some of you smile. Thanks, George H. Meinschein, P.E.

Looking for SB9A apron and countershaft assy
Hi folks,
Picked up a rusty 644Z cutie recently that’s missing the carriage apron and a few other things. According to Ebay the apron is cast gold and gears are Inconel, or so the asking prices suggest... If someone has a reasonably priced apron assy, or parts of it, I’d appreciate a pointer. Looking for the countershaft assy too but that’s longer term. Thanks! |

Travelling steady/follower rest fixing bolt size and location.
-- Hello, I am UK based and am restoring a 1937 South Bend "modelR" bench lathe (none operational at the moment) .? I understand that the 9" swing model R is now rare, but I wonder if the more common "Workshop 9"" lathe may use a steady that would fit straight onto my machine.? Kind regards Richard Pender |
