    Help Identifying a Crow Bar

    Crow bar likely isn't the right term, but that's why I'm asking. Anyone know what this "tool's" intended purpose is? Pry bar one end has gripping teeth. The offset fork on the other is the main thing in question. It's offset to one side but is flat on the floor. It gets used for twisting...

    Non-Planing Jobs on a Plainer

    Curious to see any of your past set-ups, or pictures you've saved from the interweb. Any weird jobs that required odd fixturing, tool holders, etc. How have you or others put these machines to work other than "making things really flat?" This one's been posted before, but is a good example of...

    ID A vise screw, and help making an Acme Nut

    This old vise screw's been floating around the shop for awhile. It's nothing special and looks like it could have come off of any number of machine shop bench vises from the turn of the century, but has somewhat of an odd thread at a 1" OD, 3 1/2 TPI Acme. So for one I'm curious if anyone know...

    ISO: 4-6" stovepipe flue fan that is heat/moisture resistant

    We have a Enviroquip hot water parts washing machine that works like a big dishwasher with a rotating platform/basket that spins your machine/parts through a ring of water jets. Fill the bottom with water and it has heaters to get the water steamy (not boiling) and a heavy-duty pool pump to...

    Recommendations for tapered and straight shank tool organizers?

    I'm looking for tool organizers for tooling with Morse #2 and #3, Brown & Sharpe #7, and 1/2" straight shanks. Lots of stuff out there for ER collets, CAT/NMTB holders, R8, and 5C stuff, but slim to none for just basic shank stuff. The racks for those holders tend to be too big for something...

    Looking for info on the Stanley No. 60 Doweling Jig

    I've got a Stanley No.60 doweling jig that's missing it's paraphernalia (save the box). It seems that the internets solution is to just buy a more complete one, but being stubborn with metalworking skills/tools, I'd rather fill in the blanks on the one I have. I read somewhere that it had nine...

    Looking for recommendations for flexible "fabric" way covers.

    Looking for recommendations for a flexible "fabric" way cover material to used on a Moore #2 Jig Borer. The machine is not being used in it's original ultra precision capacity and is not in a clean room, but is out on the floor near our other filthy dirty scoundrel machines (mills, lathes...

    Looking for help with Sargent Hand Plane

    Not sure if this is outside of the wheelhouse for this sub-forum but I'll give it a shot. I'm not on any hand-woodworking forums. My late dad had a collection of hand planes, some for the shelf but most he used at some point, and I've been going through the lot trying to divide it between a...

    Planer Tool Holder Sizing

    I was doing some QC tool holder sizing for a couple of our lathes and while updating some information on our machines post dimensions, was looking at the old list of Lantern style holders by Armstrong and Williams showing which holder systems go well which which swings of lathe, and got to...

    Looking for advise from any Watchmakers on here

    Figured I'd post this here instead of the General section, given my tendency of attracting obsolete and dated projects. Are there any watchmakers in our crowd here? Anyone have advise for getting into watch and indicator repair, not as a career, but just as another "tool in the toolbox" skill...

    RFQ - Small Lazer Cut Parts in 24ga. Galvanized Steel

    Looking for someone with a Laser or similar CNC cut-out table (waterjet?) that can make parts from 24 ga. Galvanized Steel (of your own supply). Part is approx. 6" x 3/4" and will have some follow-up bending ops, but quote is only for the laser cut blanks. However you cut it, ideally I need a...

    Need help Identifying a couple Morse 2 Taper Tools

    These came with a lot of some other junk I wanted, and I wanted to pick your brains what they were made for. Both have Morse #2 tapers. That's the easy part. The first one looks like a typical 1/2-20 threaded drill chuck mount, but it's a lefty thread. I can't find any chucks with a LH 1/2-20...

    Turbotorch C4 Faulty Handle

    We Have an old Air/Acetylene Turbotorch rig that was set-up for Air/Propane use awhile back by switching to a different regulator. The only identifier I can find on the handle is a "C4" and that leads me nowhere online. It looks like all the other Turbotorch acetylene rig handles out there with...

    WTB Bead Roll Die Set

    I'm looking for a bead roll die set to fit an old Pexto #544 (pictured). I need to form an approx. 1/8" double bead, side by side, like pictured below, in some short sheet metal pipes being formed from flat blanks via slip roll and some custom flush rivets to join the ends. Bead is to provide a...

    Bridgeport Knee Mill Millpwer and Prototrak CNC Retrofit Swap

    I know lots of guys on here understandably don't care for CNC retrofitted knee mills, but we like ours and it has it's place BESIDE (not in place of) our VMC's, so I hope this thread doesn't devolve into the typical "don't waste your money on those things" thread. We have an early 90's...

    Wanted: Machine or Catalog Image of Napier Saw Door

    Title says it all. Google turns up some fuzzy advertisement images like this selection from an ad on Vintage Machinery here. I'm looking to sand-cast this door for my saw, as it's missing, and need to see what all the text says so I can recreate it in CAD to make the pattern. Maybe your eyes...

    Aluminum thread repair inserts

    I'm working on a job that has heated aluminum castings that are screwed together. They're like shaped clam-shells with a heater cartridge between, used for smoothing and forming leather. A few threads are damaged and my plan is to drill and thread them oversized, lock a piece of aluminum...

    Forum Features - New Post Alerts?

    Sorry if this is posted somewhere, or if there's a better place to ask the question. I haven't been as active on here as usual (busy and all) but try to keep an eye on my threads and threads I've posted in previously. Maybe I'm imagining it, but I thought it used to be that I'd get a...

    Modifying a Jointer Head

    One of my home projects is I'm restoring and outfitting an old Boyce Crane Handisaw. While primarily a light duty table saw, they also sold a bunch of different attachments for them making it something akin to an early Shop Smith. Without delving too far into the debates on multi tool machines...

    FS: 10" Logan Lathe T-slot Cross Slide and Saddle

    I bought these pieces years ago to use with my Logan model 200 and 820 10" lathes. I believe they came off of a model 400 hand feed turret lathe, but they worked with the 200 and 820 with no modifications, and likely will fit other Logan lathes of the same size. The saddle came with it and I...
