    Vise

    Not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but the last import I purchased new, from a very reputable seller had to come apart and get the top and bottom lightly kissed on the surface grinder before use. Where-as the real deals are generally accurate enough to gang up on one table right out of the...

    Tilting Mill Vise

    Duke, If this is a one off on a knee mill,then their is already a hand stroke mechanism in place on the quill anything you add is simply going to be additional slop and hysteresis. Just sayin.

    Sharpening drills from ¾" to 1"

    Rimcanyon Our friend Tom Lipton had a Harig cam fixture that takes 5C tooling missing parts. I have a complete one that we could clone cams from. That would do 1" spiral drills.

    Wtb Volstro shaper slotter or similar

    The Volstro slotter was only for the lightest imaginable work in the most compliant material. You'e better off getting someone to burn via edm, I have a Bport with an E-head (slotter) it's more robust but still not cost effective if you are trying to make money on this. I'd not sell the...

    Advice on Cutters for Horizontal Mill

    John In an ideal world you would want the cutter to overhang the edges of the part. Your ability to step over will depend upon how precise the alignment of the knee is on the mill. At issue with step over is always the issue of steps showing in the finished work. Back when I had a 3CH K&T...
