Project Schaublin 135
I like it. Nothing worse than jumping around trying to dislodge a piece of blue steel stuck to your arm while approaching a shoulder under feed. Mine is a simple piece of bent aluminum, slotted to fit over a couple bolts that were left over from a tracer system. No idea what they did originally...- dangerboy

fusion 360 or something better?
Here's personal experience with conFusion. People say oh they are constantly updating the software, yes and they jam half baked updates down your throat, and expect the users to tell them what's wrong with it. I was forced to update my OS a month ago, there have been FIVE updates since then. I... -

Standard Modern lathe and power hook up options.
Wow I thought I was the only one with one of these short stout girls. I have a 20/30, apparently came out of a sub. Anything like that with yours? Clearly the salesman saw the gov coming, it has everything one could get for this machine, including a gimbal foot on the outboard end. WRT the... -

16x40 vs 16x60 Lathe Size for General Use?
Lots of this depends on the type of work you do. I have two big swing lathes, a 16" Colchester and a 20" Standard Modern. The Colchester has an 80" bed, and I use it all at times. But then I'm in an area where propellor shafts are common, and sometimes I need to run it through the headstock and... -

Project Schaublin 135
Wow, really nice work Marc! My 150 should be on the floor in a week or so. I have at least one job I know of, the split bronze bushing that surrounds the splined shaft is in rough shape, so I'll be re-manufacturing that. Might need your help!- dangerboy

ISO 7mm drive in oil cup
Or drill out the hole after putting a piece of cloth or something to keep the chips from getting further down. Go up to 5/16" or whatever you can get. I had to do this on an old Arboga drill press that had 6mm oil cups, however I only had to go to 1/4" -

Allied engineering review
Likewise. We had a full stable of AMEC spade drills back in the day, and while they wern't turning super fast, one could start the feed and just brush the chips off. We made our own coolant inducers (this was for a SIP 4e spindle) for thru-tool coolant and later bought them when they were... -

Aluminium grade for compression mold
I'm with Implemex, 420 for inserts, 4140 for bases, A-2 or O-1 for heel blocks and slides. We used H-13 for aluminum die casting, P-20 for big plastic stuff, i.e. bumpers Agree with everyone above who say this mould won't last long. However also agree that it might not matter to your customer... -

Jig borer heaven
One of the great things about working in that environment is there are no hacks and no incompetents. I was extremly nervous when I started and made many mistakes. Fortunately they let me stay and I became better. But the level of skill was amazing. Some of the older guys never made a mistake in... -

Jig borer heaven
Hope that doesn't sound like Tommy Two Sheds, I never realized how special that place was until much later, and thought you folks would appreciate it. Certainly no one else would :) My regret is that I never took photos of the place. It was before cell phones and I never brought my camera in... -

Jig borer heaven
When I worked in Toronto, I had the good fortune to be employed by JBS, aka Jig Boring Services. We had one 5, 6 6A's, one 7 and one 8 in the room. Coming from a three man shop with a clapped out old P&W 3 to a 6A was amazing. Half an inch a side for a roughing cut if you needed it. Bury a 1"... -
