    Standard modern bedway condition.

    I teach a really good way to see wear on a lathe is to crank the apron to the right then use a flashlight and look at the gear rack under the bed. It will be unworn on the far left and right. Then look at the rack under the chuck and 20" to the far right. If the machine is worn bad the rack...

    OT- Torn rotator cuff- any words of wisdom?

    You may want to go to the ER as you might have other issues as I did. My humerus bone was broken. Also if they tell you to exercise do it. I didn't exercise enough and my arm is sore and shorter. After you run out of pain pills try some CBD gummies 300 MG as they help with the pain. I also...

    Decorative Scraping

    The manifold marks look like 1/2 mooning or that hit with fist with a flat blade not a 60 radius that we use to get a more circular technique. The fire wall does look like the butterfly or 1/2 of a butterfly shown on page 171 of the Connelly book, Machine Tool Reconditioning.

    You maybe right. Years ago I was told by Tri Star plastics they sell Rulon to Taiwanese and Korean builders mixed with red and not green color. I can write them, but really who cares

    Gorton 1-22 mastermil need assistance Jammed table

    I'm not a hammer jocky . GOOGLE "stuck z axis gib on a Bridgeport Knee" you will see how a gib freezes up and how they have to be removed. I still suspect the poster is not hitting it hard enough. If you can't get it hire a pro to do it.

    Jones and Shipman 540 Hydraulics

    Make sure the livck is off and remove the hand screw lock and use a magnet to be sure the wedge under the screw is loose. Check all set screws and bolts facing the gib as someone may have have added something. The gib is ruined so make a steel bar to rest on the broken end and hit it with the...

    Gorton 1-22 mastermil need assistance Jammed table

    As First has said your tapered gib is jammed. Look under the table and between the saddle and table there is a tapered piece that's called a gib. One end is smaller on one end and held in by a slotted gib screw. On the other end the gib is thicker also held in with a slotted screw. Remove...
