A question for the lathe guys
I think you might be better off looking for this in a spool and then figuring out how to straighten it. A little curvature would probably be better than seams, no? -
Allied Spade Drill
You don't need a same size pilot hole. A good rule of thumb is to measure the web thickness of your drill, the thickness of the spade bit in this instance, and select a drill bit a little smaller for your pilot. I was told this keeps the drill engaged but guided enough to keep it from wandering...- Kingbob

I'm with you on this one. I imagine he gets pretty excited to have all of them running at the same time. Meaning that I assume that at least one machine is always waiting on him for something.- Kingbob

I spent 150 bucks on amazon and added (reliable) washdown to the 2023 DNM5700 I just got for my garage.

yeah he's not that far from me in Florida. I get it, you want to respect the ones who taught you and in an absolute clinical sense they taught you right and I can admit that. In this particular instance however we have a set true style chuck being installed on a miltronics lathe in Florida. I...- Kingbob

I watched this one he posted recently just to check out the cool little crane (skyhook). He lost me at about 15 min in when he installs the chuck and adapter plate completely dry, as in no oil or grease on the mating surfaces. That kinda thing would have gotten me beat around here when I was...- Kingbob

MITSUI SEIKI Craftsmanship

Potential Scrap Machine Tools !
uhh..., ask your family member what he's willing to pay you per pound for cast iron? Why are you asking strangers on the internet? I scrapped a 1930's era cylindrical grinder and an old horizontal mill on separate occasions. The deal I made with the trucker both times was get paid at the scrap...- Kingbob

New Tool Holder recommendations
Almost everything in machining is application dependent. Light roughing and finishing in composites or tantalum? Are your parts large stainless castings or do you have 500 tiny aluminum parts fixtured up and being milled with 1/8" cutters. Also what kind of tolerances are you trying to hold? If...- Kingbob
