Grinding Brass
Yep, you can really use any wheel as long as you don't mind dressing frequently. Minimizing the grind stock helps a LOT when the wheel isn't optimal, too.- eKretz

New machine day (FP3NC)
Yes, there was a small amount of oil pooled behind the plug that was in place of a toolholder.- eKretz

Grinding Brass
A silicon carbide wheel would be better. An 'i' hardness maybe 24-36 grit would be what I'd start with. Lap for finish later on a piece of emery real quick if needed.- eKretz

Buy a set of expanding mandrels. Very handy to have around. -
New machine day (FP3NC)
The one in the spindle nose, there was a 40 taper plug in there. Also, got around to checking the wipers today. Eek. Good thing I did. Rock hard and crackly, came out in pieces. Wonder if they're from 1986!? Probably *all* wipers are going to need replacing. Are there wipers under the bellows too?- eKretz

New machine day (FP3NC)
Good stuff guys, thanks. One more question: when I flipped up the vertical head and removed the plug in the horizontal spindle, there was a fair bit of oil flow from the spindle bore. Is that normal?- eKretz

Manual machine to cnc handle feedback
I only ever used that tactile feedback on small machines like a Bridgeport or similar with small cutters like corncob roughing endmills buried deep. It is very good as far as getting a feel for when the cutter is dull so you can stop before the cutter breaks. For most stuff you can readily tell...- eKretz

New machine day (FP3NC)
I'm about to order some fluids for the machine; what are the rest of you guys using? In the manuals I've found notations that the previous owners of my machine were using Vactra 4 and DTE Medium. Not sure what they were using for coolant, looks almost like a light brown oil. But the machine is...- eKretz

Heavy duty lathe
Looks like possibly something for indexing. And BTW, your title is awful considering the subject of your thread. The two don't even seem remotely related. Edit that to better reflect the subject or the thread will be locked... -

What is the most positionally rigid 12 inch manual rotary table?
That's how my Advance is. The worm can be dropped out so the table freely rotates, then it can be popped back in wherever you want that it is aligned (every 3° are obtainable as a drop in). The drop out mechanism has an adjustable stop so that the worm is returned to the same center distance... -
What is the most positionally rigid 12 inch manual rotary table?
I would have said this myself, but was thinking he wanted infinite indexability. If set divisions are good enough, Super Spacers are very good indeed. -
Re-grinding G&L saddle support rails - Advice
Not a real complex job, just need to find somewhere with a big enough grinder. We had a set done for a 120" X travel machine I installed around 1999, but I don't remember where.- eKretz

I read somewhere that the air line is used for the index only table. The table is an air lift. Possibly a toothed indexer.- eKretz

New machine day (FP3NC)
Anybody got any idea why someone would put shims here? Found these today when I flipped the vertical head up for the first time to have a look at the horizontal spindle. I saw in the manual where they want that top part slid to where it's perfectly aligned with the lower section before clamping...- eKretz

New machine day (FP3NC)
New battery in the console connected to the memory board seems to have everything up to snuff finally. The machine is booting up the console properly now every time it's turned on. I used Ross's approach and soldered in a plugged wire harness to the board so I can remove and charge the battery...- eKretz
