    Looking for 7/8" - 4 acme threaded rod

    I want to repair and old Ridge Tool vise. the lead screw is 7/8" diameter, 4 threads per inch, looks like Acme thread. I can't find that size and thread count as a standard acme size anywhere. Am I out of luck on this? I suppose I could size it for one that is available and change the nut, but...

    Monarch 24N Geared Head Internal Pictures

    1937 Monarch 24-N is going out of service. The carriage and ways are too far gone to repair and no one wants to buy it. Pulled the cover off the head to give it a last viewing. Gears are in perfect condition. They always say the Monarchs wear out around the heads. This is no exaggeration...

    Removing Carriage on Monarch 24N?

    I need to take the carriage off our Monarch 24N. It looks like it bolts down to the apron on the underside. My only other experience with removing a carriage is on a South Bend 10". This is a tad bit bigger. I'm guessing I need to support the apron when I break the bolts loose? Is there...

    Bandsaw oil mist lubricant / coolant / cutting fluid recommendations

    We have a large Peddinghaus band saw made by Meba. It's used on I beams and c-channel. It has a mist system on it for oiling the blade. Peddinghaus recommends their cutting oil, which is $95/gallon and used at full strength. A gallon should last us a few weeks, but $95 for a gallon seems...

    Sellers 2B Drill Grinder Belt Tension

    I just got a Sellers Model 2B drill grinder. Made in 1938 according to the tag on it from the GE plant. The 2" wide flat leather belt is stretched out, so I need to shorten it. I don't see anywhere to adjust the belt tension on it. The motor is fixed in place inside the pedestal and the...

    Benchtop Bridgeport?

    Saw this at HGR's site. Pretty sure it's not a factory benchtop milling machine. Obviously built to make one specific part, and it probably did it pretty well. Priced at $255 as of 2/22/18 Used Bridgeport Benchtop Mill | HGR Industrial Surplus

    Odd Dual 9" South Bend setup

    Used Southbend Lathe / Turret Lathe | HGR Industrial Surplus I found this odd setup with 2 South Bend lathes browsing HGR's offerings. At first glance, it looks like 2 9" South Bends - maybe a B on the left and a C on the right. On closer inspection, the headstocks don't look like regular...

    Bridgeport Locknut and bolts stripped?

    Two of the locking nuts on my Bridgeport J-head are stripped out. The lower left one will tighten up a little, but not completely. The lower right one just spins the stud like there's nothing there. Top two are ok. Looking at the diagrams for these, it looks like i should be able to remove...

    Carriage getting hard to move on 24" N Monarch

    The handwheel has been getting very hard to turn on my 24" Model N. Takes 2 hands and a few grunts to get it to move. Before I start tearing into it, anyone have any suggestions for where to start looking? Removing the saddle from the apron looks like a pretty big job! Vince

    Carbide insert screw, countersink angle?

    Is the countersink angle on a carbide insert 90 degrees? I dropped the M3x8 screw for my mini grooving tool. Called the manufacturer and they want $5.25 plus shipping for one screw. Seemed a bit pricey for one screw. I can get a box of 100 M3x8 from mcmaster for that much...but they are...
