    My 1030F is #536, made in 1968. It’s the latest serial number I’ve seen referenced, and was sold to the Brown Univ. Physics shop.

    Who has a New Bridgeport series 1, how do you like it?

    Here’s another vote for a 2-axis Prototrak. I can’t imagine any more using a knee mill without the ability to interpolate holes, pocket, profile, power feed, rapid between positions, etc. A DRO is a tiny step up from dials, compared to the Prototrak control which is worlds better. The 2-axis...

    For Sale 6 x 12 Taft Pierce Surface Grinder

    I love mine for sure. One side note, mine is 5x10 travels, not 6x12, and I thought that was the case for all Mark 1s, so that’s worth double checking.

    Good shop vacuum?

    My Fein is way up on the list for best money I’ve ever spent. I suck chips all day through a 1.5” 25 ft hose. It’s key to use a crevice tool so big tangles can’t get in. I also use a brush tool to clean machines.

    Why Can't Industry Use Schematics?????????

    Hi everyone, This is a thread with a lot of potential value for me, and I thank you all for your contributions. I'm reading the thousands of words with great interest, but a few pictures would be a huge help. Does anyone with strong opinions have illustrative examples, or book...

    OT - Crew Dragon (potential) launch live on NASA TV link

    1 in 60 is the calculated likelihood of mission loss, i.e. not completing everything. They calculated 1 in 276 chance of crew loss, the difference being the various ways they could rescue the guys if something goes wrong.

    Sharpening Lathe Radius Cutters

    I wouldn’t touch the radius, just treat them gently and stone or surface grind the tops if they wear.

    rolling a precision sheet metal ring - How???

    Once you hit quantities, could this be a screw machine part? Probably pennies compared to your current approach. Failing that, I would do it the way you’re doing it now. Maybe the roll and weld could be rougher if you start oversized, expand on a mandrel for ID tolerance and finish, then turn...
