    Oil grooves and Deckels

    A few days ago, I had to make a new bronze bushing for the piston axle of my vintage bar-cutter mower... I was in a hurry because grass is growing incredibly quick now and I need that machine back together and running again asap, before I can't even open the door and get out anymore ! :D...

    Fun with the Deckel punch milling attachment

    Hello I thought I'd post some pics of my curentof my current "work"... I'm pretty interested in tool grinding, and I've managed to put together a nice Deckel S11 and most of the useful accessories for that machine. Not bad, but that wasn't enough ! The machine lacked the hyper-hype original...

    All what you ever wanted to know about the Schaublin 102N-VM

    You'll discover in that thread. It's in french, but the pictures will speak for themselves, and the author speaks a perfectly fluent english, should you want to contact him (not to mention he's a PM member even if more of a lurker so far ! ;). I thought it may be interesting for 102N-VM...

    Yes, Deckel parts can be expensive...

    A lot have already been said about Deckel spare parts prices... I'm not gonna open the can of worms again, but I have to admit *some* prices can be outrageous. I knew it already of course, but I think we've reached a new level. How about a little poll ? :) How much do you think the assembly...

    How would you repair that broken casting ?

    It's been pretty slow on that forum lately, so I thought I'd throw some food for thoughts. Not sure this is the best place for posting. Could have been on the machine reconditionning forum as well, but since it's a deckel casting (from a T&C grinder though), I thought I'd begin here. So here...

    Unusual spindle arrangement - Deckel S1 grinder

    I'm in the process of adapting a Deckel S1 spindle to another T&C grinder and examining the parts list, I stumbled across this view of the cartridge : What catched my eye is the belleville washers at the rear end. In my limited experience with that type of cartridge, springs are usually...

    Is it good practice to leave a rather heavy height gage on a granive surface plate ?

    I have 18x24 granite surface plate and was lucky enough to find myself a Tesa M 350 height gage for cheap. The height gage weighs a little more than.70lbs, so I wonder if it's wise to let it rest on the plate or if I should find a convenient way to take off when I don't use it (wich is most of...

    Hello Could someone help me determine the machine this small boring head is supposed to mount on ? The head is extremely small, taking 4mm shank tools. The rear end diameter of the shank itself is 8mm but curiously there's no thread neither external nor internal (and no hole to begin with...

    Question about I/M 10EE regarding metric use

    After reading numerous posts about the Monarch 10EE, I've always wondered if an I/M machine was basically an imperial machine with some metric capability, or if it could be used for metric just as simply and directly as a "real" metric machine.
