wtb oxy propane magnetic pattern tracing cutter
Do you mean an old victor style pantograph with a cutting torch and propane tips for it? Or a better small koike IK82, but that one is limited to smaller parts. I think IK 82 was discontinued about 3 yrs ago, I was able to buy the smaller drive wheel for mine then and was told there would be no...- Rob F.

Help identifying compressor pump
Why change pulley size? The 5 horse motor should be fine at 800 rpm on compressor. Did the old motor have more HP? I have the same pump and it is driven by 3HP with a 5 1/2" pulley. It was old when I got it 25 yrs ago and it is just fine. Sometimes I wish it would pump faster, but not often do... -

Can anyone ID this gun sight?
I learned it as the length of belts used in a spitfire, mostly they used .303's but later were able to swap in a few .50's. Belt length was for each gun. The term was clearly made mainstream due to the belt length but it seems to predate WWII. Here is a site that mentions the term first...- Rob F.

Replacing way wipers on Big Lathe.
A flat oil stone is probably best, be sure it IS flat, and not used for knife or chisel sharpening. A new one is best to be sure of flatness, and dont use it for anything else.- Rob F.

Avoid buckling of plate when welding circular frame?
Try no bevel and no filler, just fusion weld it. In my experience filler seems to make more shrinkage. You may play around with joint design so the weld still has strength after blending.- Rob F.

Looking for 7" dia thick wall steel tube for bearing housing
Something I saw on Joe Pie years ago is an easy way to keep parts parallel, use it with or without soft jaws for concentricity. Call them "bolt on soft standoffs" -

Proper bearings for a mill spindle rebuild?
If you want to convert an old bridgeport (is it a series 1?) to CNC then just put the stock bearings in it and get to work on the cnc aspect. There will be plenty of work there. If the machine is clapped out then take one of Richard Kings rebuilding classes. That really will give you good... -

How much weight can the e-track system in an Isuzu box truck handle?
My brother runs a moving company and they have all sorts of things for e track. I think you will be fine if you use the cross bars to tie sideways to and secure the machine base from sliding with nailers. Most important thing will be to run a strap from the top of the machine out the door to...- Rob F.
