Tool post identification
Mntndew, Now that you have mentioned it, I would have to agree. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to do that… I have done the only thing I could do, and that’s to just delete that one picture. I’m sure that doesn’t help someone trying to determine what tool holders are included. Bob -

Tool post identification
Guythatbrews; I will have to say that you nailed it with Monarch guess. At least, Rke[ler did or so it seems. My tool post came with 6 holders, one of which is missing some part or parts. It is the bottom-most holder of the picture above. I am grateful for the knowledge and helpfulness of this... -

Tool post identification
Gentlemen (and others) I bought this tool post a couple of years ago. It has no name or other information on it. It came with 6 tool holders; they really do appear to be factory made in my opinion. Perhaps someone will recognize this and clue me in. I paid $25 upon finding the ad on Craigslist. Bob -

Looking for value information Vintage Helios Stainless Steel Vernier Caliper. It is 0- 42.5"
Joe; I really enjoy your stories. I too started into the surveying field as my first real job. I can vividly remember “turn left, read right” when learning to read the vernier on the transit. At the time, I learned on a 30 second gun and a 20 second gun. I cannot recall what brand of transit I...- OlCat

Nichols Vertical Milling Head WC-234
I have a 1953 Nichols mill with the vertical head also. When the literature was printed for these machines, it shows NMTB40. Included in the lit is the factory adapter for 4NS collets. I have that adapter on my mill. The standard set of collets only go up to 5/8” capacity, although I suppose...- OlCat

Steesbassoon; I have only an 1/8” 4NS available as surplus. PM me your address if you want it. It’s not the prettiest of faces, but appears to be usable. I have not tried it in my mill. Bob- OlCat

4NS collets and Nichols parts exchange?
Steesbassoon, I think I have a few 1/8” extras, I will check to see if maybe any others. I will give you one of the 1/8” ; await on other sizes. JST, I would be interested in a 3/8” if you have one; it seems that Steesbassoon has one already. Bob- OlCat

OT: Flu Shot Reminder
I got the Moderna shot a couple of weeks ago; not even a sore arm. I got my second shingles shot in my left arm and flu shot in my right arm. I am feeling a little discomfort from the flu shot this afternoon… I wouldn’t call it pain. Bob -

Anyone have a BH9 Troyke rotary table?
Just to update all. I did contact Bob Hooker at Troyke. I emailed him a couple of questions regarding my table; the next morning I had a reply. He included two pdf drawings. The first being a part-numbered overview of the table, top and side view; the other, adjustment instructions. Bob searched... -

Anyone have a BH9 Troyke rotary table?
Hey Guys; I have a Troyke table that is missing the table lock. I do have the internal rod that has the tapered end. I need a picture and hopefully some dimensions that would allow me to recreate the screw that locks it. I don’t even know what threads it needs, but the minor diameter is about...
