Re: Introductions
Those old anvil/vise combos often had a slot in the dynamic jaw where the screw is, to accept a drill bit. Yours looks like it has two handles, which is probably why, one to rotate just the screw (for

Re: Introductions
That was an old vice for working on pipe, etc. is what I was told. I use it for small amateur blacksmith goofing off.

I'll take a look at that. I pull the handle forward when I'm not using it to keep the belt lose

10¡± taper attatchment on a 6¡± lathe?
Hey folks, I saw an Atlas 700 ¡°toolroom¡± style taper attachment for a 10¡± lathe today on EBay. Would it be possible to use that on an Atlas 618? I figured I might need to add a plate to the back

What's that weird looking vise with the bicycle pedal crank on the front in picture 1 to the left of the lathe

Re: OT-how to test and repair DC brushed motors.
Bill, it is easy to make a growler. take a standard transformer with a figure 8 core and cut out a "V" at the intersection of one of the uprights and the crossbar. This should turn the figure 8 into a

Re: OT-how to test and repair DC brushed motors.
I used to do a lot of work for the city that I live outside of . Unfortunately sometimes that meant that I had to work on equipment at the sewer ponds & such . Onetime they had put in a new motor tin

Re: OT-how to test and repair DC brushed motors.
I called Capitol Electric a couple of weeks ago. Talked to Mark. Said they didn't do DC motors anymore, and didn't know anyone in the area who still did. I guess the cheap import motors aren't worth

Re: OT-how to test and repair DC brushed motors.
I already polished them, and had the motors reassembled, minus the brushes. The bigger motor works fine on the bench. Likewise the smaller motor. Maybe I won't worry about the contact cleaner on the

Re: Back Gear Pin & Rattle
I've got caps from the tool post grinder that seem to fit well enough. Will be using that. But I want proper caps for long-term use. Not sure what the original caps are, just some sort of dark gray or

Re: OT-how to test and repair DC brushed motors.
Bill, Just about any starter shop can growl them for you. As far as larger facilities go, in OKC, if Ron is still at Capitol Electric, tell him Jeff from Warfield and Chapman in Dallas said hello. All
Re: OT-how to test and repair DC brushed motors.
Bill, they both look serviceable, as is. Really no need to polish, as there is minimal grooving. That said, I have seen some emery paper that is actually electrically conductive. Crocus cloth has a

Push comes to shove for testing a guy could make some caps that slide in the cap holes & hold them in with a hose clamp to test run the motor , animal

Re: Should be OT: Motors... Back Gear Pin & Rattle
The commutator on an armature gets turned when it's clogged with carbon or badly scored. The segments of the commutator are copper, and were once upon a time separated by mica insulators. These are

Re: Back Gear Pin & Rattle
I was able to do the work with a mildly abrasive (supposedly diamond) nail care "tool." I knew about how gummy copper is, and that the old machinists used milk as a lubricant when turning parts made

Re: Back Gear Pin & Rattle
Is there a reason for turning the armature (clearly i have no idea about motors?)? ________________________________ Sent: Wednesday, September 6, 2023 12:23 PM To: [email protected]
