    Bending 1.25" OD water tubes 90º on a JD2, which material to buy?

    I’ve bent a lot of SS tube on my JD2 model 3 over the years. I only bent 45• bends using a 1” tube die and tight CLR. The parts were used in a crucible to melt silicon into massive ingots for computer wafer production. It was 304 iirc. Slightly heavy wall (~.090”) but it worked fine.

    1944 Bridgeport with J head

    The t slot bolts fit behind the head and the threads face the operator so there is not turning the head to “get them started”. Essentially, all 4 long t bolts are inserted into the circular ram face and you carefully slide the head onto the bolts. It is very tricky to do by oneself. They want...

    WTS Bridgeport Series 2 parts machine

    I just snapped my Y axis table lock this morning. Any chance you want to sell the shaft with the splines in the end? It is reverse thread. Please please please😜

    I agree 100% with what you stated above. The ram should be a t slot groove for the long bolts to rotate around the so you can angle the head. The OP is suggesting the ram has “fixed” bolt positions which is unlike any standard Bp I’ve ever had or repaired.

    Drawing the line on surface rust (used Bridgeport)

    I like to check for oil on the base which suggests they were actually using the one shot lube. Also, wear is the concern vs surface appearance. A lot of backlash and gouged ways and price drops massively.

    Nardini lathe - How to remove lead screw, brake and feed shaft mystery (to me)??

    Never seen one like that. Looks to have a smaller spindle taper too. Like a D1-4 or maybe even 3. That carriage looks nothing like my 1440

    Oliver 510 drill pointer f/s

    I shipped one via Fastenal a few years ago. I have no idea what it weighed. Oliver would know weight. They are great with customer service.

    Oliver 510 drill pointer f/s

    I had one and loved it! I upgraded to the 600 but haven’t gotten around to using it. It’s been sitting for a couple years now. The old 510 sharpened an assload of very large bits. Excellent when you get them set up correctly.

    Also consider trades or partial trades for larger super spacer with plates. Or good quality mag drill.
