    Questions on tumbling aluminum

    I retired last year. But there is a new synthetic media that I tried called SM. Wow did I like it on aluminum. Ask them to run a sample for you in it. Small size for best/shiny finish. It gave me the best one step finish on aluminum.

    Dividing head, what’s missing?

    There should be numbers stamped on the base. It's missing the slide for direct indexing. Parts sometimes show up on ebay.

    WTB: Metric change gears for 15" Leblond Regal Servoshift?

    WTB: Metric change gears for 15" Leblond Regal Servoshift

    I didn't know that I needed change gears to metric threads on my Servoshift but it appears that I do. I'll call Leblond but I don't think I'll be man enough for their pricing. Does anybody have any of these for sale? (I already tried ebay.) Thank you.

    tumbling zinc

    Series 61, Removing a Shift Fork from Headstock

    I can't answer the installation question but there was a guy parting out a 61 in a thread a few pages deep. He still had those parts I believe. I have 2 very chewed up gears (I believe that same cluster that you are working on) I was going to call him about those.
