    Ultrasonic cleaning and Loctite

    I have some parts that were assembles with Loctite on the press fits and also thread locker on bolts that need a good cleaning. Does ultrasonic cleaning with a "normal" general purpose cleaner sold by the place I got the ultrasonic cleaner from affect the Loctites? Henkel doesn't seem to say...

    Fireproof filter fabric?

    I've got a DoAll model B T&C grinder which is a rebadged Boxford G200 that has an internal dust collector. The original filter bag was torn and missing a piece of fabric so I added a piece that I had and proceeded to try it out. Bad Idea. 10 allen head screws removed in record time while the...

    3D shop organizers life?

    I've put this here as it isn't about how to do it but rather how did it work out. I've been thinking about getting a 3D printer for making organizers and boxes for the shop. Things to keep collets with the tapping head, racks for common allen keys and wrenches with the lathes and such. The only...

    Political policy in threads?

    There seems to be more threads going off the rails and degenerating into political rants lately. Is there a formal policy on this forum about that? Personally if I want to read that stuff I'll look at the news. Bob

    Fire extinguisher tech?

    In the thread "The heresy of cutting oil?" they touched briefly on fire extinguishers and I was wondering if there is anything new out there to replace CO2 in a hand held extinguisher. Unfortunately I have had to deal with fires and their aftermath a few times. Dry chem is one hell of a mess...

    Oil resistant flexible line?

    I need a flexible oil line to go from the lube pump up to a block on the carriage of an HLV-H. What material would be suitable for cutting oil and be flexible enough to not cause any drag on the carriage? I think flexibility is king here so as not to mess with the feel or rack anything out of...

    Well tooled Hardinge DV-59

    I’m selling my well tooled Hardinge DV-59, Serial #15895 208v 3 phase. The electrical drawing in the cabinet is dated 1978 so the lathe is around that age or newer. The machine runs very well, everything works correctly including the oil pump. Everything goes together as a package. I need to...

    Cincinnati 205-12 lost the knee feed?

    I've got a Cincinnati 205-12 that has been working fine for years. I just installed a DRO and ran the knee all the way down to check cable clearance and now it won't come up. The rapid turns the shaft on the front of the knee and the hand crank also turns the shaft fine but no movement in...

    T slot cutter speed?

    I just got a chinese tilting table and need to open up the T slots for a standard 1/2" T nut. I plan to run a 1/2" end mill down the slots first then run a 6 flute HSS T slot cutter through to open up the undercuts. What kind of speed should I be running the T slot cutter at. I'm not in a hurry...

    Recommend me an end mill please.

    I'm cutting 3003 series aluminum, spindle max 4000 rpm, mist coolant only on a cnc controlled Supermax mill. I need a recommendation for 1/8" end mills. So far I've been using generic, uncoated carbide and even at .050 depth of cut, I'm breaking them at 3 ipm. The cut finish sucks too but I'm...

    DRO on mill with universal table?

    Has anyone installed or have pictures of a DRO on a universal mill table? Universal meaning the table swivels. I'm interested in the installation of the x axis scale. On my Cincinnati 205-12, because of the lever and dogs for the power cross feed there isn't room on the front of the table. At...

    DV/DSM59 questions

    I've got a 59 configured as a DSM59 and would like to get a compound for it. Does anyone know which ones will fit? I think the DSB or DSC will but any others? While I've got your ear, the serial number is DV-59 15893. Any idea when it was made? Thanks, Bob

    I just got a 16" G & E universal shaper with power down feed. :) My problem is It's missing the ramp that actuates the downfeed. If anyone has a ramp they would part with I appreciate hearing from them. Perhaps someone can take a picture of the ramp straight on with a rule in the frame so I...

    Plazma, water table or downdraft suction?

    I've been thinking about putting in a plasma table but the deciding factor is if I can run one for occasional use CLEANLY. If its going to crap up the whole shop like my hand held does it's not worth the hassle. I can't afford the floor space to enclose it in its own room so what is cleaner in...
