    Brown&Sharp Dynamaster Vertical Mill

    Giving away this mill for restoration. Cannot do it myself due to severe life situation change. It was fully functional when I took possession of it 5 years ago from a closing machine shop but I foolishly deferred maintenance on it hence it has rusted. Please see details and picture on...

    Help! Older thread link redirects incorrectly.

    I've been studying old threads on RPC's and transformers when I ran into the thread entitled,"Three Phase 120/240 Delta". In post #3 by Peterh, there is reference to a diagram from some previous thread but the link "here" just goes to the home page. Can anyone kindly direct me to the thread...

    Will this transformer work?

    I found a tranformer that might work for my need to step up 3 phase power from my 10 HP RPC 220V to 480V three phase. My source of single phase 220V is breakered at 50 amps. My three motor vertical mill has a 3 HP spindle, 3/4 HP table motor, and a 1/2 HP sump motor. The transformer is a...

    Three phase step up transformer 480V

    Gentlemen: I am a long time lurker in this forum. Its amazing the amount of information present here and the willingness to help of the volunteers of knowledge herein. I learned a lot hanging out here. In my research, my old mill I recently acquired ran on 480V three phase. My approach...

    Searching for K&T 2CHL Vertical Mill

    I am on the west coast, southern California in Orange County. I have been searching for a # 2 vertical mill. I was looking at a B&S vertical mill close to me on Craigslist but the owner never responded to my queries. I prefer to spend my limited funding on buying the best quality 2CHL I can...

    B & S No. 2 Vertical mill

    Is this a rigid mill? 10" x 52" table, feeds and rapids, 3 HP, 50 - 1800 RPM, 40 taper. Described as "good condition". Is it comparable to the K&T #2 Vertical? Would it make a good hobby mill for my garage. Are they difficult to restore if some areas need work? I have yet to see it...

    DPMS style 308 upper

    For the life of me, I cannot find an AR 308 upper in the DPMS variant anywhere for a reasonable price. I mean the upper receiver aluminum component without the bolt carrier group or barrel. Does anyone have a lead on who has this part available commercially, some enterprising small shop...

    Brass Casings

    In light of the new regulations by the government requiring the military to destroy their fired brass casings, it has perked my interest on the actual process of turning raw material into finished brass casings. What machines are involved in the process and how are cases formed? What is the...

    Almost ready to fire up my 10EE!!!

    Hi there, Long time lurker. Have an August 1950 built 10EE serial #32981, an M-G powered lathe from what I've learned here (piggyback exiter). Trucked it clear across the country to CA and sat in my garage until I could get an RPC. Read the RPC forum for a while but decided I'm just too weak...

    Almost ready to fire up my 10EE

    I've had my 10EE sitting in my garage, bought untested, all this time waiting for an RPC. I finally got the funds to buy a Des-Co Industries 15 HP RPC panel to hook up to my Magnatek 200 V three phase idler. That's what the motor plate says, 200V. Des-Co says its not a problem. Do you folks...

    20 HP RPC Build

    Hello, new to the forum. Been lurking awhile, learned a lot but not nearly enough to build without feedback. I am quite familiar with residential wiring but have minimal experience with industrial stuff. I bought a 20 HP 3 phase motor sometime ago and a capacitor box from eBay about 5 years...

    Sundstrandt hydrostatic drive

    Out of great curiousity and historical interest, why was the hydrostatic drive considered undesireable by many? What about the concept of hydraulics as applied to the lathe is inefficient/ineffective when it comes to lathe operations or ergonomic feel? These considerations and reservations...

    Monarch 10EE

    Gentlemen, fairly new member, long time lurker of this forum. I am a fairly new hobbiest. Posting to announce the arrival of my Monarch 10EE that I acquired through eBay for a good price I think. I don't as of yet have a way to power it so I can do a more detailed assessment of the lathe. It...

    Single phase to 10 HP 3 phase VFD output

    Trying to research an idea. I have a 10 HP 3 phase motor I would like to use on my newly acquired Monarch 10EE with nonfunctioning drive. Hope to bypass the backgear altogether hence the 10 HP motor. As a hobbyist, I only have access to 220V single phase power source. Is there a VFD that can...
