    Walker turner 944 drill press chuck mounting

    Under the circumstances I didn’t have much patience left after seeing the original drawings. A press fit collar from 1” round with a bit of a snout to allow a wee bit of tig tacking without inputting much heat followed by cleaning the tapers and pressing the chuck on with a few tons and the...

    Walker turner 944 drill press chuck mounting

    Unfortunately mine has no cross pin hole. There were some things about the shape and finish on the end of my spindle that made me suspicious it had some custom machining done to it. After seeing the drawings I would surmise mine used to look like the pictures and later modified to it’s current...

    Walker turner 944 drill press chuck mounting

    Thanks for that. My machine is like in the picture but my spindle does not match so it’s either a variation not described there or more likely modified from original. Any more suggestions?

    Walker turner 944 drill press chuck mounting

    I just bought at auction a Walker Turner 944 drill press. I would consider the condition to be “just barely functional”. The headstock slid right off the column. The table and resting collar were sitting down against the base in one contiguous stack and nothing would move even with all the...

    Bale Spike Hydraulics Problems.

    Many starter motors have a ground stud, usually on the end cap. In many cases this is redundant to the case it’s self and need not be hooked to a wire. On occasion I’ve encountered that stud being isolated from the case and requiring it’s own connection for the starter to operate, thus 2 cables...

    Please help me understand what makes a thread title meaningful

    I promise I personally will try to do better in the future. Part of what is so confusing to me is the other meaningless title threads I’ve seen were never even locked. It’s just left go completely.

    Please help me understand what makes a thread title meaningful

    Thanks for the help. I’m still not sure I understand but I’ll try a little harder to color inside the lines. It felt a little like I was getting picked on but that’s not where my question comes from. Rather than take offense I asked a question in search of understanding. My opinion after...

    Lodge & Shipley model X

    As a correction to my previous post it seems 1-5/8 hex would be more appropriate to match the tail stock nuts. Interesting tool holder HES DA1-FC-1x1 Before the other thread got killed, according to gbent these were a special application that I can’t remember the details of at the moment but...

    Please help me understand what makes a thread title meaningful

    I’m quite confused by a thread being closed for reason of meaningless thread title. The thread was titled in the likeness of the piece of tooling in question. I don’t understand how that is considered meaningless and I don’t understand what it would take for it to be considered meaningful...

    HES DA1-FC-1x1

    Saw this on eBay it looked quite useful so I bought it. I am however a bit confused as to it’s original intended use and as to why there is no adjustable height stop built in. It’s not the first holder I’ve seen lacking said feature. Maybe you could enlighten me. I’m contemplating creating a...

    Lodge & Shipley model X

    A bit proud of myself at the moment. I believe this will serve me well. Wish I had some 1-3/4 hex bar to make a nut out of so it would match the tail stock nuts. Maybe some day. Not sure what material this round bar is but it seemed to cut a bit different than typical cold rolled. It was a piece...

    Best tool for removing heavy duty speared c-clips?

    This style clip is very common in automotive transmissions. If the few different tools I’ve used for these I mostly prefer the Snap-on variety. In a pinch I have used the pin style snap ring pliers. That truck works well on the lighter circlips but the heavier they are the more useful the...

    Hold down requirement for tool post

    I appreciate your thoughts. The I agree the stud is ideally only in tension. Having said that, since some part of the post and compound is not directly under the cutting edge in most situations the system can be likened to a lever. I don’t remember the technical terms of classes of levers but...

    Hold down requirement for tool post

    Glad I posted here if for no other reason than the stories. I was thinking about the possibility of ordering B7 rod but the replies seem to indicate the 1018 I have on hand is sufficient. I think I’ll thread the one end for a snug fit in the T nut. I don’t have a flange nut so I’m thinking I’ll...
