    FS: Linley Jig Borer $600

    Hi everyone, I'm somewhat reluctantly looking for a new home for my Linley. I started my business with this machine, but it's just not earning its floor space anymore. It's in perfect working order with little wear as far as I can tell. The screws are smooth and snug, and it makes great...

    FS: Fine Adjust Assembly for Taft-Peirce MK1 Grinder

    I bought this without doing my due diligence, and it turns out it doesn't fit my grinder. This fits grinders with the 5/8" square shaft, which I think is the majority of them. Mine has a double-keyed round shaft. This looks like it's in great condition. I also have a lubricator from a Mk1...

    FS: 3 VFDs, 2 are 2HP TECO, 1 is a 10HP TB Woods

    Hi everyone, I have three VFDs just taken out of working service, I converted the machines back to run on 3 phase lines. 10 HP TB Woods. The nameplate doesn't say it, but this will run off 1PH 240, I think it's just derated 50%. Anyway, it ran my 5HP lathe great this way. How about $100...

    Help identifying a stainless fitting

    Hi, can anyone tell me about this fitting? There is a narrow taper seat in the female side, which looks to be 45 deg, and a matching clean chamfer on the male. These go in liquid handling equipment and the lab disassembles them regularly for cleaning. They leak. I've never seen a...

    Has anyone seen this type of rubber bushing arrangement?

    This knuckle is part of the suspension system for a shaking machine. The machine was rebuilt 5-10 years ago, not by the manufacturer, so I'm not sure if this is original. It gets constant usage and it hasn't held up well. The threaded center goes all the way through, and it looks like it was...

    Hi everyone, I am looking for a good home for this P1-2 Gorton pantograph, serial #42115. It's a nice machine but now that I have a CNC mill it's not earning its keep. Supposedly this came out of a local company that made aircraft instrument panels. Includes: 2 nice complete font sets, one...

    Can a GFCI trip fry a VFD?

    Hi everyone, I was tracking down a short in a machine lamp today, and I tripped the GFCI a good half-dozen times before I got it sorted out. There are three machines with TECO JNEV VFDs on the circuit protected by this GFCI, and when I was done I discovered that two of them seem to be fried...

    OT: Website silent background video critique

    Hopefully this is acceptably off-topic, since it involves machine porn and lots of us try to design effective websites for our businesses. I've added one of those silent background videos to the landing page of my website. It's not finished, but you can get the basic idea. I like these when...

    FS: Large ceramic tumbling media ~25lbs

    Hi everyone, I bought a 50lb box of this media (min order) and I can only realistically use half of it. It's 1-7/8" triangles, I believe it's XF grade which is very aggressive. This is about 25 lbs and it more or less fills a large USPS flat-rate box. Anyone able to use this for $30 to...

    Dimensions for Christen grinder centering screw

    Hi all, Does anyone out there have a Christen 2-32 drill grinder? This is the floor standing cabinet model. There is a removable "centering screw" that allows you to center the drill head in the left-right axis. It's basically a depth gage. This is missing on my grinder, and the...

    FS: 3/4hp single phase 110v motor from Delta drill press

    Hi everyone, I have this perfectly good motor collecting dust and I'll send it to anyone for $20 plus the cost of shipping UPS ground. It's from a 17" delta drill press. It spins up great. It has rough paint and a corner is broken off of the mounting plate (see pic). The bolt pattern is...

    How to disassemble a Nakane live center?

    Hi all, Does anyone have experience disassembling a Nakane live center, like the one in this photo? The bearings in mine are noisy and starting to feel rough after I badly overheated it. :wall: I don't want to start pressing things without an idea of how it comes apart.

    FS: Hardinge dovetail quick-change tool holders

    I have four basic tool holders for a Hardinge quick-change tool post. Three have been modified: #2 and #3 have the slot ground to accommodate 3/4" tools, and #4 has the slot ground for 5/8" tools. #4 was also a thicker holder, but the whole face was ground down slightly for some unknown reason...

    WTB: drill press, MA area

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for a solid drill press with MT3 spindle. I'm thinking something along the lines of Clausing or Powermatic 15-20". Ok if it looks funky and/or some repairs are necessary, but no flimsy imports. I'd like variable speed, and power downfeed would be a huge plus. (Arboga...

    Rockford lath(e) on Craigslist in Providence, RI

    Hi everyone, I don't know if this is a machine of particular interest to anyone, but I ran across this ad and thought it likely that nobody else would find it due to the spelling! http://providence.craigslist.org/tls/3304355925.html
