Cut off tools and Inserts tip on breaking inserts.
I really do get good fast cutting though, nice curls as well. Don't know the speed, I am using the sb9 with the leather belt, motor to the big pulley is on the fast setting and the belt in the center position. So it's not slow or in back gears. I could try the fastest speed. I just know I am... -

Cut off tools and Inserts tip on breaking inserts.
The inserts I was using are .086 When the last two go I will have a new HSS set up. I will keep tabs on how many cuts I get before the next one cracks. -

Cut off tools and Inserts tip on breaking inserts.
The snowplow analogy is perfect I think. There is 300 acres of farmland in front of my house, I have a 10 acre hobby farm and heavy clay soil. When I bought this place i bought a tractor and a 2 bottom plow, pigs, cows, chickens. I grew an acre of corn to feed the animals. That 2 bottom plow... -

Forgot to ask, exactly what brand of extractor are you referring too, do you have a link? I took my truck to a guy that had some German made extractor for spark plugs that he was able to extract completely rusted off plugs with after I mucked it up trying to get them out with the dumb... -

My neighbor does plastic injection molding. He snapped off a 10-24 bolt in one of the dies that's about 2 x 4 inches by 1/4 thick, it is part of a larger die. Holes are 1/4 deep. He wanted me to drill a hole in the broken bolt so he could use an extractor. long story short I said I would send... -

Coolant
Even if you only have manual machines, I just filled up a tank of trim sol for my knee mill CNC a month ago and I think it's great stuff. I use one of these bottles to cool off and lubricate parts while drilling on the lathe or the manual knee mill as well, what a difference in drilling mild...- metron9

SB9 with .009 play along axes do I shim?
Thank's for the link I was about to post I will be searching for the bearing post. I adjusted the nut so that when pulling or pushing with moderate pressure on the chuck there is about .001 movement maximum in either direction. Without an indicator I can't see if there is any play at all and...- metron9

SB9 with .009 play along axes do I shim?
I noticed the chuck and spindle have .009 tho of play along the axes of the spindle. I don't think it was this bad a year ago. I see there is a clamp on the gear side of the spindle and I can see the play right there. Should I put a shim between the washer and the clamp nut or do i do something...- metron9

Suggestions to save this ink disk
This is from an old manual letterpress built in the 1800's i should have taken a picture of it before I took the .010 off, you could clearly see the big void as a depression but it had a little metal covering it. Someone else had tried to grind it down in a drill press and used a heavy wire...
