    Advice on getting into a Lodge and Shipley 14" Model X apron?

    I'm sorry that you struggled with it, but I admit getting a chuckle when I read the solution. Sort of like you will probably when enough time has passed if you aren't there already. Thanks for coming back to let us know what happened.

    Motor shaft questions

    I have a pedestal buffer and I think I need to make a new shaft for it because it wants to walk across the floor even with no wheel on the shaft. One end of the 1" shaft has a .0005" runout and the other end has a .0015" runout. If I make a new shaft out of 4140 should I start with annealed or...

    Geometric die heads and a MT4 tailstock

    I've got three geometric die heads that I've picked up. In the videos I've watched most are having the die head pull the tail stock into the carriage to release the dies from the workpiece. In the videos I've seen the tailstocks are not very big and I'd like to know if anyone is using a die...
