Saw this video on You Tube. Thought some people here might be interested in seeing it. I do not recall seeing it listed here before. Shows them planing spiral gooves on a feed mill roller.

I know we've had posts before about people picking up, rebuilding and using power hammers. However I don't think we've had a post about one that is this small. Here is the link to a You Tube video of a fellow in Belgium who picked one up and did some minor repairs and had it up and running.

I'm not posting this as a for sale post more as a post of a unique way of driving an older lathe. I found this lathe for sale on Kijiji up here in Ontario Canada. I was surprised to see that the owner had adapted a hydraulic motor to run this lathe. Here are a few pictures for posterity.

Some of you know that I collated a list of all the Hardinge Cataract Quick change lathes that were still around. One of these lathes #221 was owned by Wes Loomer in Walton Kentucky. Wes passed away last year and his widow has asked me for help in passing around the info that his refurbished...
Saw this advertisement on our our version of Craigslist, Kijiji. Not affiliated however thought some people might be interested in seeing it. Has little writeup as well on the history of the castings. Pictures for future reference.

While trolling Craigslist found this shaper for sale in the Kansas City area. Supposedly listed for the last two months.

While perusing EBAY looking for drill presses, I came across this one for sale in Milwaukee Wisconsin. It is quite unique from ones I have normally seen. Some might be interested in this. I would be if located closer if only to see what the drive system looks like under that casting.

I am looking to find members out there who own and use either a VN#1/2, #10 or #11 Mills. I have a VN #10 that I got about 8 months ago and I am learning how to use it. I do not have any machining courses other than 60hrs of night school classes 10yrs ago. In rebuilding my Hardinge Cataract...
This definitely qualifies as an antique. I found this item on EBay. Looks to be all there as the ad indicates. Neat old machine. Would look good in a working machinist museum I think.
