Toolmaster 1D Generic machinist question.
I have finally gotten around to re-installing the cross axis power feed on my Toolmaster. Removed the cover, removed some varnish on the 'C'? (lower, front one) shaft that was restricting the gear pack from sliding back and forth, and cleaned it out as best I could. All the gears and shafts...- rgsheehan

Toolmaster gets new stuff.
I was thinking other newbe types like me might be interested in a comparison of 'old school' tools and some of the 'new' stuff. The OEM tool is on the right, with the new ER32 on the left.

Moving a Cincinnati Toolmaster 1D
Hmmm, now what? Seriously new newbe here. I really didn't think I would, but it looks like I might have won (remote online auction, based on pics only) an auction for a Cincinnati Toolmaster 1D? vertical mill. Now that I might really have to move it, it looks a lot bigger and heavier than it did...- rgsheehan

Spindle and Oiling
Hello all, I am new to the site, and new to machining. Being taught by a 1941 SB9C. The lathe has been 'restored' by a previous owner, who appears to have done a decent job. It came with the usual story 'sat in a corner, rarely used, etc.' As far as I can tell, it really does seem to be in...- rgsheehan
