I've always wondered if one of the small carbide tipped trim saw blades, from a Big Box Store, could be used as a slitting saw blade in non-ferrous metals?? Some of these blades leave a fairly thin

Bill, if you are needing a mount like mine, for a DC motor and without the idler shaft clamp, I will happily share my .STL file with you. I will definitely be investing in slitting saws, just need to

If you make up or buy some indicator holders, you can do a bit better than eyeballing, though it is a bit more difficult on the Unimats. Something like Harvey's vertical lead screw, or there are

That's CHEATING!!? :)? Can also use a jeweler's saw, or coping saw. Particularly in aluminum alloys. Back in the days when they were still inventing all the machine tools, much of the work for

I believe the tailstock ram is hollow and threaded for the ram screw.

Wow Kevin, that thing cuts like butter!! I have a Delta 10" in my main shop and will be getting a Rikon 10" for my new "micro" shop. Would that same 1/8 x 14tpi blade be good for small detail wood

Quick freeze, freeze spray, or canned air turned upside down will work in a pinch, as will liquid butane sprayed on it, (fire hazard). I always have a can of quick freeze laying around, as I worked in

Back in the stone age, some folks would place 2 hacksaw blades, side by side, on a hacksaw frame and just manually saw the slot. -Guy-

They normally use something called a slitting saw.?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Djl7NWr6TK8?is a short (6min) video on the basics of using a slitting saw. There are quite a few folks who use

I am casting a new motor mount for an SL Unimat. I'll be using green sand, cope/drag, and as such I will have to cast it with the slot/slit(?) on the clamp side filled in. I'm at a loss trying to

Did any one repaint a black crackle? And how did it looks like? I'm planning to do some repainting with black crackle (or wrinkle)

Unlike the hammered ‘stuff’, good news is that this is an easy one to match. I just brought the same piece off my MK2 as shown in your photo to a local Paint shop (in my case one catering to the
