    Sudden Onset Chatter Issues - riding the struggle bus and need some HELP, please.

    About a week or so ago, my 13" South Bend started chattering like crazy. It's REALLY bad. And I am at a loss as to why. I've owned this lathe for 3 years and never had any serious issues with it. I attached a video of the bearing clearance checks as well as some video of cutting a piece of mild...

    Identify this grinding fixture

    I acquired this as part of a lot at an auction of a closed machine shop that did a lot of custom grinding, they had several B&S OD grinders and a few tool grinders. I'd like to make someone a really good deal on it, but I haven't a clue as to what to call it. I have no grinding equipment, do it...

    WTD: Mitutoyo No. 75 radius gage .650

    I bought an old Mitutoyo N0. 75 radius gage set at auction and it was missing the .650" gage. Maybe someone has a loose set from which they wouldn't mind parting out this one piece? PFA of a .800 gage from the same set

    Help in identifying this straight edge

    I came across this 24" straight edge at auction. I am hoping the more educated minds here might be able to tell me a maker. I couldn't find any maker marks on it, except for what I assume is a pattern ID of "4920" and "THOMPSON PRODUCTS, INC. DEPT. 11 NO. 29" stamped into one edge - my guess is...

    Work holding a Featherweight 18" straight edge for machining

    I was lucky enough to acquire an 18" Featherweight straight edge from @dgfoster. I've read the thread on his work holding fixture, but wonder if it's overkill for a one off. I will only be machining the one, and need to figure out the right order of operations and work holding. Wondering if...

    K&T Adjustable Universal Milling Attachment

    I started the disassembly of my universal milling head. My main goal was to assess the condition of the bearings and to clean it up. I want to be sure it's worth buying the drive gear for it. Honestly, I am a bit undecided. We'll see. Most of the bearings are shot and there are some really...

    Beware user "Saxez" - possible scammer

    Sent me the email address of someone who had a tool I am looking for. Offered to sell me one, shipped, for $125, that is easily worth four or five times that, maybe more. I knew right away it was too good to be true. I checked the email closer, and the timezone was in western Europe or Africa.

    WTB: 18" Camel Back (or similar) Straight Edge

    I'm wanting to expand my horizons, so I am looking for an 18" straight edge as a reference for machine scraping. I need one that has both that flat reference surface as well as the 45 degree angled surface - I think they are referred to as "prismatic." I know that I can buy a new casting from...

    Dial Indicators, DTIs, Calipers, Starrett, Federal, Brown & Sharpe

    Well, the time has come to let some things go. I’ve been collecting these indicators for a couple years, and frankly, they sit in my tool box. As much as I would like to keep them all, I need to raise funds for other shop projects. Some of these (**) have been serviced, cleaned and/or repaired...

    Oak piece in K&T overarm support

    Before I resort to phone-a-friend, thought I would ask here first. This forum has been incredibly vital to finding these odd bits of information, hoping that this time might be no different. On the K&T over arm support, style B, which is the intermediate support, there's a gap in the bushing...

    FS: Micrometers and other misc tooling

    These are tools that I have collected over the last couple of years that came out of either auction purchases or were in a tool chest when I bought it. I have duplicates of these and have not personally used them, nor have I checked any for calibration. These need to find a new home. All prices...

    Cincinnati Bickford Radial Drill HELP!

    I volunteer at a roundhouse that has this biggish radial drill. We have it wired up and it runs. BUT, we can’t seem to get it to go down. We managed to use this lever on the back to get it to go up, but now, someone has raised it up to near the top, and no one can figure out how to get it to...

    Smaller quantities of shim stock

    I've got a K&T 2HL that I am trying to rehab (not rebuild) and the table gib has seen better days. Besides being a banana (I straightened it already to at least a reasonable degree of straightness), it has been broken and brazed back together at one end, has some significant scoring on the...

    Replacement hand wheel grip?

    The Y axis handwheel on my K&T 2HL is missing the grip. I don't expect to find an OEM replacement, but would like to find something the at least has a similar appearance to the others on the machine. The hole is ~5/16". The handle on the Z axis crank is about 2.75" long. I suspect that the Y...
