    Help with a Bradford Lathe

    Hard to say exactly where, but look on the lathe bed, maybe down by the tailstock end? You'll have to look all over everywhere. Could even be covered by grime. Perhaps somebody familiar w/ Bradford lathes might post a location to look for the S/N.

    Help with a Bradford Lathe

    Lots of information here from the Bradford Machine Tool Co of Cincinnatti, OH. Note that the Bradford Machine Tool Co of Lansing, MI made power hammers. And appears to be unrelated to the lathe mfgr from Cincinnati. http://vintagemachinery.org/mfgindex/detail.aspx?id=2316 This sales brochure...

    Kurt D30 3” Milling Machine Vise with Swivel Base

    My main vise I use most often is a Kurt D50. Just easier to lift on/off the Bridgeport than my D675. I did order a rebuild kit for the D50 to have on hand about 5 years ago. Included the thrust bearing and hardened washers, a plug, half-ball, a spring clip retainer, and an oring. Wonder if...

    Kurt D30 3” Milling Machine Vise with Swivel Base

    Somebody listed a NOS vise @ $71 and no reserve and thought they'd make some cash. And a bunch of jokers bid it to the moon... It's a cruel world out there...:wrong:

    Excess Hardinge 5C collets

    You should put together a list of the sizes you have, the individuals condition, and photos, if you are serious about selling or trading them.

    Dimensions? Difference? KURT A-50-4 and D-50-4 swivel bases

    Note that a vise marked "A-50" is actually an early version Kurt D-50. The "A" is a foundry code. https://www.practicalmachinist.com/forum/threads/is-this-a-kurt-d50-or-a50-vise.215934/

    Colorcode on Hardinge HLV-EM

    When did production end for the HLV-H & HLV EM? I always wondered, is there any particular code or meaning to the sequence of letters that make up the name?... "HLV-H"? I do know that EM=English/Metric :-)

    Way OT: Earthquake here in NJ.

    Felt it here in MD. Working on my mothers tax return in my 2nd floor office (at my home). Felt it through the floor, my two computer monitors were wagging back and forth. Seemed to last 2 or 3 seconds. If I wasn't sitting down, I may not have noticed it at all.

    Well crap - I am ordering a SawStop tomorrow. (Mildly graphic pictures)

    CPSC may soon force manufacturers to equip table saws with safety brakes. Was listening to NPR radio news and they covered this topic. https://www.npr.org/2024/04/02/1241148577/table-saw-injuries-safety-sawstop-cpsc

    Making a 3 jaw adjustable.

    I had a dividing head that had a chuck & backplate w/ about .005 runout. And I modified it to be an "Adjust-tru" sort of chuck-backplate. Details are several posts in, in this old thread from 2005 about making chucks "Adjust-Tru". My photo links are dead, might be able to find the old photos...

    Advice on annular cutter for 3" hole please

    Sure, that kit would work provided it goes large enough. If you have a boring head you could possibly use a boring bar with it and grind your own trepanning tool for the BB. Kinda like this:

    Advice on annular cutter for 3" hole please

    Why not a trepanning tool? Like this... Cutting a 5" hole in steel. An annular cutter is one size, you can vary the hole (slug) size with a trepanning tool when you have to do a different size hole on the job you get down the road.

    Ot...ship hits bridge

    In my Un-expert opinion I believe that to be the case. Below is radar animation of ships in the region as the container ship left its berth and hit the bridge. Two tugs assist in getting the ship turned 180* then depart to elsewhere once the ship is on course. It was reported that the ship...
