What can a K&T Autometric do that a universal mill can't ?
Your Model B Horizontal Autometric was made by K & T at their plant in West Allis, WI. It is a precision boring machine that is capable of doing light milling. I have a Horizontal Autometric that has round ways and was built in California. Again, it is a precision boring machine that can do...- K&T_Journeyman79

K & T 2CH Universal Head Drive Gear
Ramsey1: By no means am I complaining about the gear you made. I appreciate you making it for me. My universal head has at least three (3) grease fittings. I don't know when it was greased or lubricated in the past. I don't see a need to run this head faster than 560 RPM.- K&T_Journeyman79

K & T 2CH Universal Head Drive Gear
K & T 2CH Vertical Head Drive Gear I completed modification of the gear drive keys to eliminate interference with the universal head's gear. Remounted and secured the head to the column/overarms. No interference issues. Ran the head up to 560 RPM, with a minimal of noise. After 560 RPM, the...- K&T_Journeyman79

K & T 2CH Universal Head Drive Gear
K & T 2CH Vertical Head Drive Gear Last night, I mounted the universal head on my K & T Model 2CH. First step was to get this monster onto the table, since my machine does not have a parking bracket not do I have a hoist. Second step was to engage the overarms into the overarm bracket. Third...- K&T_Journeyman79

K & T 2CH Universal Head Drive Gear
I don't believe that my universal head requires the pitch disc on the spindle drive gear. I am going to mount the head on the overarms, secure the overarm clamp nut, and retract the head/overarms until the head's mounting surface contacts the column face. Then I will secure the two (2) clamps...- K&T_Journeyman79

K & T 2CH Universal Head Drive Gear
For my Model 2CH, I am not sure, yet. It appears that the distances between the overarm centerline and internal head gear centerline are fixed along with the distances from the overarm centerline to the spindle drive gear. Plus, the plate must be smaller in diameter than the root diameter of...- K&T_Journeyman79

K & T 2CH Universal Head Drive Gear
Most vintage K & T Horizontal Milling Machines are missing the all-important drive gear for the vertical/universal head. The drive gears are rare to find just like K & T Model 2D collets. My K & T Model 2CH Horizontal was no different. Ramsey1 was gracious enough to machine me a 30 Tooth...- K&T_Journeyman79

K & T Autometric Tooling Adaptation
My K & T Horizontal Autometric tooling adaptation is now complete. The spindle can use R-8 collets with use of a NMTB 40 Taper adapter, which came with the machine. Using special drive keys and a new drawbar, I adapted a K & T No. 40 Taper adapter which accommodates K & T No. 40 Taper tool...- K&T_Journeyman79

Thoughts on inventing, patents and marketing
In August 2019, I filed a patent application for an innovative motorcycle accessory. Working with a law firm out of Atlanta, it cost around $8,500. Could have been less if I was capable of producing good 3D models and drawings. It cost another $3,000 to file a PCT and international patent...- K&T_Journeyman79

I own a K & T 2CH Horizontal Milling Machine and a High-Speed Universal Head with a Quill. I was given a homemade drive gear, but have mounting questions for other 2CH Owners to help answer. 1.
