    WTB: GOOD CONDITION WARNER & SWASEY #3

    bumping this back to the top, really hoping to find a newer square head m2200 to get the higher spindle speeds. I also met with my electrian this morning and the cost of adding a 440 transformer make buying one of these less appealing, so only looling for 220v machines

    WTB: GOOD CONDITION WARNER & SWASEY #3

    Im Looking to replace my old beat down W&S #3 with another of the same, but hopefully in much better condition. Im fine wither either a round or newer square head machine. Only requirements are good to great condition and bar feeder. 208v-220v three phase preferred, but will get a transformer if...

    Turning long tapers (42-47")

I also ended up building an extra long taper attachment for my Leblond lathe, but built a bearing block that travels on the carriage just in front of the cutter, works incredibility well, I can prep the ends...

    Folks I need a saw- Cold or Miterband?

    Bandsaw is the way to go if you are only going to have one saw. Id agree with cyanidekid and to try and spring for a true double miter band saw in the 6" to 10" range. I also cut a ton of stainless bar and tubing and process it through both a band and cold saw. We upgraded our pivoting 10"...

    WTB-2 axis CNC LATHE

    I’m about ready to take a step away from my W&S #3 turret lathes and buy my first CNC lathe. I’m currently looking a getting a new Doosan Lynx 2100lb, but dont really feel great about spending 80k. So I’d thought I’d look into some used ones. Most of our parts can be run from 2” or smaller bar...

    Welding and fixture tables.... was getting ready to order this one but

    I don’t know how anyone could compare these to an acorn or t slot table, the only similarities are they are both flat. After that there is about 100 years of improvement. I have a 1m x 1m and 1.5m x 3m Bluco with a fairly complete tooling package and just love them both. The best part of the...
