The advantage of starting with expensive wood! I started with cheap wood and was shown that stain/finish trick by a luthier friend who uses it on violins! Doing that inletting impresses me! Bill in

Re: Feed rate increase and crazy thread milling, just for fun
Nah, no stain. Just sandpaper,oil and a lot of rubbing. I'm sure there's easier ways but I'm not a woodworker but it came out kind of ok. Dave

None that I have ever come across. Definitely none that said anything about using the one screw in each clamp(that seems to be as good a term as any) to adjust the running clearance. One should I

Hi Bill, Good news about your wife! I Hope things go well. I do know a guy that made a stock out of a 2x6, not pretty. I'm not a woodworker either but I have been known to put some wood on a

Thanks Carvel, Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil. Stock is walnut, a lot of coats! After it started filling the grain a couple drops would cover the whole thing. Dave

Experience, was Re: Feed rate increase and crazy thread milling, just for fun
IF I ever actually get around to the point where I can start building the things I dream about, I'm probably going to use a 2x4 for the stock. As far as woodworking goes I'm a wood butcher. Or a rough

Hi Bill, Hopefully here's some pics you might find interesting. .177 cal, precharged pneumatic. Get around 55 shots on a 3000 psi fill. The stock was the most difficult part for me! Dave

All 618¡¯s have the same tapered roller bearings. And NO Atlas built 6¡± machine ever had babbit bearings. Robert Downs

Re: Concern with my Spindle
