Index 747 Mill Opinions?
One other question. The Index 747 mill comes with #20 Taper Holders according to the ad. I talked to Wells Index and told them the mill has #20 taper holders and they didn't think that was correct. They said the machine would either have R8 or #9 Brown & Sharps. I'm new to mills. Can you... -

Index 747 Mill Opinions?
Thanks for the info. I haven't physically looked at the machine yet as it's about an hour drive away from me. I'm trying to get up to speed educating myself about how to check on the condition first before I go look at it.. I understand that Wells Index is still an operating company in... -

Index 747 Mill Opinions?
Yes, I believe I have a dial indicator and mag base. I've slowly been picking up machinist tools at garage sales, antique stores through the years and probably have one sitting here somewhere. I'll do some research on youtube to see if anyone out there has a video on how to check the... -

Hendey 16x54 lathe - Requesting Opinions and Recommendations for Buying
Sounds like the Hendey lathes are good, but it appears this lathe may have issues according to JohnOder's post. I'll look to see if I can find the original query about this lathe. I live in Northern Michigan's Upper Peninsula so it's likely I'll have to drive several hours to find a lathe...- landrand

Hendey 16x54 lathe - Requesting Opinions and Recommendations for Buying
I've found an older Hendey 16x54 metal lathe that I'm interested in purchasing. Unfortunately, I'm new to machining and don't know much about lathes. I do have some pics of the lathe that you can find attached. I'm not sure what model this is, but one of the pics has a number of 16-4798. From...- landrand

Leblond 12" Lathe Opinions and Recommendations for Purchase
Off the top of your head, can you jot down a few manufacturer and models of lathes that I should be on the lookout for. The main reason I was interested in the South Bend 13 is because the one for sale is about an hour drive from me. I live in the Upper Peninsula of MI, so I'd probably have to... -

Leblond 12" Lathe Opinions and Recommendations for Purchase
Ok. You talked me out of it. It's funny, cause I took some notes after watching some youtube videos on what to look for in a lathe. My notes say, must have items: "threading dial" and "quick change gearbox". Now I need to go to plan B, which is the South Bend 13 lathe. I'll get some pictures... -
