    Well crap - I am ordering a SawStop tomorrow. (Mildly graphic pictures)

    Timely thread to have up right now. I had a very experienced man here on Saturday, who set up his saw stop table saw to just cut a few shims for a window installation in my house. I was in the front of the house, when I heard a rather loud bang, and I KNEW exactly what happened. This experienced...

    Steady rest for cylindrical grinder, with or without spring?

    First off, I would call these follower rests, instead of steady rests. I have a collection of the follower rests also. In 24 years of grinding, and grinding thousands of parts, I've never had an issue grinding fairly slender parts , where I thought the process could be improved using the...

    Devlieg Flash Change Chuck

    Flash Change may be a misnomer. Certainly isn't faster than pushing the button on a Devlieg Jigmill for the power drawbar, and changing tools in a few seconds. Getting the flash change adapter oriented correctly, the 1/2 inch hex key in and breaking loose the toolholder takes WAY more time than...

    Devlieg Flash Change Chuck

    I'm pretty sure I have SEVERAL. You're wanting a fifty taper NMTB male end, to a 40 taper flash change? I've been using one on a Cincinnati 50 taper vertical mill, to quickly change toolholders so I don't have to climb up to grab the drawbar. Haven't used any other tooling in this mill for...

    Cincinnati Milacron 207MK horizontal mill powerfeed issue

    Hey I got out my service parts manual which is around 200 pages. Doing a repair of this magnitude without a manual, and almost zero information is pretty risky. So I waded through the manual and found the relevant pages that show the clutches. The shaft is supposed to come out the FRONT of the...

    Cincinnati Milacron 207MK horizontal mill powerfeed issue

    Sorry-missed another day of checking PM. I'll dig out my manuals and see if I can determine what is holding the shaft. I don't remember whether I replaced ALL of the clutches or one, I'd bet i did all of them. One of my gears was trashed also, so I had to pretty much dismantle everything. Have...

    Cincinnati Milacron 207MK horizontal mill powerfeed issue

    Obviously you have seen the screen filter in your mill that feeds the hydraulic system- How bad did it look??

    Cincinnati Milacron 207MK horizontal mill powerfeed issue

    Amazing how many days goes by so quickly without checking into Practical Machinist. I hate to plead ignorance, but it's been15 to twenty years since I replaced the clutches. Now I DO have the manuals and parts books for this mill. Are you attempting the repair with ZERO documentation? I can...

    Moore Universal Measuring Machine - Gage Head Spindle Adapter

    Well excuse me if i offended you by mentioning the incredible changes that have taken place, in the last fifty years, where a myriad of circuits now can somehow work, through a rotating interface. You asked for someone with a Moore #3 for advise, and i looked at my machine. I also had a much...

    Are new production Jacobs Super Ball Bearing chucks still good?

    After purchasing the first 14N Ball Bearing Chucks made in China- after Danaher, the jerks that owned Jacobs shut down US manufacturing, it was immediately obvious their quality disappeared. Three 14 N Chucks, the chuck keys were NOT interchangeable. So I went to LFA, and have used them for at...

    Moore Universal Measuring Machine - Gage Head Spindle Adapter

    I went out and looked at my Moore #3 measuring machine to refresh my memory what I have. Mine is pretty old and has a Cleveland indicator, but still a very similar looking attachment. You need something that can rotate, feed your signal to the indicator and not wad up the wiring, so the part...

    Cincinnati Milacron 207MK horizontal mill powerfeed issue

    Your lubrication system uses Bijur metering parts- readily available. I think Bijur sells direct at list price. Look at them carefully and each one has a part number stamped on it. They are not ALL the same as different locations require more or less oil. Bijur's web site use to be good and has...

    G&L Handbook: Horizontal Boring, Drilling and Milling Machines and Their Application

    The Kearney and Trecker salesmans book, is not something anyone wants to copy. The Giddings and Lewis book seems to have some fans. I just used the sales catalog as an example of why I no longer want to just let people "borrow" my books.

    Cincinnati Milacron 207MK horizontal mill powerfeed issue

    You have a hydraulically operated milling machine. When I was using a 207MK a lot many years ago, I posted quite a bit of information on them- do a search. The feeds and rapids are operated by clutches, which rely on hydraulic pressure to work. There is an INLET filter to the hydraulic system...

    jones shipman 1300 grinder manual / lubrication

    No the spindle doesn't use the same oil as the bed. There's typically THREE oils on the grinder. The spindle takes light weight spindle oil. The way lube pump, uses way lube. and the Hydraulics in the base, which also oils the table uses a hydraulic oil. I can give specific brands that I use...
