I have known a few old mechinists?retired?from the university of lll shops who were trained in the navy. All very skilled. All of the equipment was 40-50 vintage.?

Very nice!? Thank you!? As an old guy the idea of a 2-ton crane system would be a back saver.

William, I searched "war ship machine shops" and found lots of info, here is one video: https://youtu.be/BdudSHtdueo?si=iBZGmka4oEg5cLtc -- Ken H in AZ Knowledge is like manure, it won't do any

Would definitely like to have a bench like that to mount my lathe to! -- Ken H in AZ Knowledge is like manure, it won't do any good unless you spread it around.

In theory, Raymond is right to be concerned about a twisted bed. A miniscule percentage of lathes might have a defective or damaged set of bed ways that will affect long cuts with a taper or diametral

I know the US Navy Trained Machinists from Korean war to the Vietnam War were pretty damn good. That was also probably the heyday for US Manual Machining. I know this very subjective but that is

I would imagine that the machine shop for a battleship or a carrier would have been impressive.? Following a battle there would likely be need for parts that could only be supplied via an on board

My uncle had a lathe / mill combo salvaged from a German U-boat.? It was a nice machine.

With 4-wheel drive, low range, and back gears - line-up might be tricky, but he could rebore a tank engine. <steve.m.bergeron@...> wrote:

I came across that picture of a lathe mounted to the back of a jeep and thought, "This'll be a good joke." But only one guy mentioned tire pressure. All the rest have been as serious as 'what oil

Oh yes, there is always someone to raise the "but what about this situation." For mobile units and on board ships level may not be possible. Other methods are employed to assure the bed ways are

??? A few years back this pic was Identified as a jeep & attachments of the Australian Army . Theres also a bench grinder behind the drivers seat . There were like Duce & a 1/2's that had a full

Agreed.. As long as the lathe was mounted to a single, solid, non-flexing vehicle frame piece at all of the (lathe's) mount points, it'll be fine. If not available or the vehicle's too "flexy", start

Lathes and other machine tools were routinely part of warship equipment. “Level” is practical shorthand for being certain that the bed is mounted with no twists and sliding surfaces parallel.

Same as my lathes! [email protected]> wrote:

Same as the machines on navy ships. They are never level to the Earth. Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg> ________________________________ Sent: Saturday, August 17, 2024 5:37:08 PM To:

The lathe only needs to be level to itself. It doesn’t matter what level it is to the earth.
