    SB 13 carriage handwheel

    I bought an SB 13 that has a broken hand wheel on the carriage/apron. I've looked on ebay but none there. Any suggestions on where I might find one? Also, do any other sizes of SB lathes use the same size handwheel? Thanks

    Help with a gear?

    Back story: There was a machine auction last week and they sold an Electro Mechano drill press that the head was in pieces. I have a good one just like it so I bid on it for parts. Didn't get it. I did get the gear box for it which got sold seperately. I have it apart and a fiber gear inside...

    Tell me about drill chuck arbors

    I bought this chuck at an auction nearly a year ago. Looks like it's brand new. I'd like to buy an MT3 arbor for it but don't know the nomenclature to get the right type. It has - 34-33C 33 Taper - engraved on it. Have other chucks that just use the JT taper but I would like to use the...

    Came across an old Monarch today

    Mods: If you think this belongs in the antique forum please move as you see fit. There is an estate sale coming up sometime this spring? In Minneapolis so not far from me. I got to have a preview of what is being offered. The guy was a hoarder. The entire house is crammed with machining and...

    Roomatism...

    Bedroom, living room, laundry room, bathroom, kitchen. Knocking around inside the house. One room to another. Ain't much to do. Dark when you leave for work. Work all day in a room. Dark when you get home. Too cold in the home shop to do much there. Snow's ass deep outside. I could dust my...

    CNC Laser cutting.

    I am wanting to have a daisy wheel made for a Greenerd 3A arbor press. I'd guess the best way would be to have one torch, laser or water cut on a CNC machine. I'm a cave man machinist and know virtually nothing about CNC. How hard - read expensive - would it be to have the drawing below...

    Help with some carbide inserts?

    Carbide inserts are a whole new realm for me. I have this nifty Aloris tool I never use as it needs new inserts. Could someone post a link to an online source for them. Something general/all purpose for mild steel. Not China made please! I have a heavy turning job to do and would like to use...

    Monarch Series 50

    I ran Monarchs 50 years ago and always liked the brand but I sure don't know everything they built. I get email alerts from Bidspotter when the brand shows up and this one came yesterday. It looks like a smaĺl/mid sized lathe but with the MG/DC drive like the 10EEs have. I wouldn't want one -...

    14 AA on Bidspotter.

    Am posting the photos for posterity. Wonder what the AA means. Looks to be nicely tooled and has the upgraded cross slide dial and the travadial but that on the right end of the carriage. I think on a lathe that size I would want the hand crank for the tailstock.

    220/440 motor

    Based on the tag what is the likelihood this machine would also run on 220 3ph? 1) NO 2) Hell NO. 3) only with a transformer 4) Only an idiot would ask that question. 5) This forum is really going downhill. 6) Depends on what the Vikings do this year. 7) Most people lie, their feet stink and...

    Greenerd 3 A arbor press

    I recently bought this arbor press. It did not come with the round, notched press plate. Am thinking about having one flame or water cut. Does anyone here have one of these 3A presses that could measure their plate for me? Diameter - Thickness - Width and depth of slots - Any special type of...

    12CK on Gov Deals

    West Palm Beach FL. $1500 opening bid. 1K rpm Might be worth checking out if someone is looking for one. Question about the build and rpm plaques on these lathes: Some look like cast aluminum, some appear to be cast bronze. What, why and when?

    Zeus dial calipers

    Brought home some plunder from an estate sale yesterday. Among the items was this dial caliper. Zeus brand, made in Germany,. 300 mm ~ 12" capacity. It looks to be a very fine tool. I'm not finding much on the brand. Anyone have some info on them?

    Interesting 12C

    I answered an ad on CL for some tooling. Went over there and met an older gent who had a lot of stuff left over from a tool and die shop he co-owned but had retired and closed the place. When I walked into his home shop I instantly recognized his Monarch C. Nice old machine. It was the one he...

    9/16" - 12 Acme L H threaded rod?

    I'm working on a little shaper vise. Jack asses in the past used it for a drill vise and drilled a bunch of holes in it and Fubar-ed the clamping screw. I tried McMaster, MSC and general searches but am not finding much. Any other places to look before I think about cutting my first acme threads...

    Ever read any O Henry?

    He was a late 19th, early 20th Century short story writer and wrote a lot of humorous stories about graft, grifters, scams and the like. One of my favorites was "The Gentle Grafter". I bought this #3 MT Solberga drill head a year ago. It came off a multi head table. Had it temporarily bolted...

    Tool bit grinder

    I did some horse trading and got this. What is the correct name for it? It needs new stones. What are they called? Where to buy them? What type and what grit? I have a bunch of brazed carbide tool bits I got at an auction. Should I get at least one diamond wheel? Will I need a second mortgage to...
