I bought a set of Drill Hog metal bits and theyre pretty good. So I bought a set of their center drills and they are also good so I bought a set of their deming bits for metal and theyre also pretty good. The chamfer bits are so-so. I'd recommend Drill Hog they also have great customer service.

Is it 7x57 Mauser?

Napa Blue work light. Dont get the cheap one get the good one. I got one as a gift and then bought another. Great magnets, on the back and on the base, if you swivel the base around you can put really tight angels on the light and the base magnet will still hold. It takes a couple days for the...

I pulled the arbor out and gave it the file test The draw-bar area was not hardened so I decided to do the mod. Dont know what the heck I was thinking, I got flustered trying to find a 17/32 drill bit. After stomping around in the heat I said "Screw it, I'll just buy another one", Then it hit me...

Thanks!

The only problem is my rack that holds tooling is behind the mill and up close to the lathe. The draw bar wont come all the way out unless I move a bunch of stuff. I may end up having to cut a big hole in my shelving...... if I can figure a way so it doesnt look like a mickey mouse trailer park...

It's a Cincinnati No. 1-1/2 horizontal mill. Very old. I havent been able to date it yet but by the construction, I wouldnt be surpprized if it was made in the teens. If I could figure out how to post pics on here I would make a thread about bringing her back to life.

Got an arbor that's Brown & Sharpe #10 that's sized 1/2-13 for the draw bar. My draw bar is 5/8-11. I know this because I ran taps into the new arbor and one that I know works. Doesn't seem like there'd be too much trouble but wanted to make sure, B&S #10 aren't cheap arbors. Let me know what...

I bought a lathe and when trying to get power to it I noticed that coming out of the motor was two blue wires, a brown wire, a white wire, and a ground. The brown and white wire then are attaced to an outlet receptical and the blue wires go to the switch that turns the lathe on. Then at the...

Cool, how's that done?

Im old and only part of my brain works. My wife is going to school full time and working so I cant bug her with this stuff. Can someone give me a photo hosting site that in their experience works well with GJ? I'd like to post a bunch of my projects, ideas, and stuff but cant because the...

For my way of use, I've got a 9" Milwaukee, a 4" Makita, an old Makita corded drill with a 3/8" chuck, and one adjustable Dremel with a long whip. It is AMAZING how much faster the 9" is over the 4", especially with a truncated cone grinding wheel. The 4" mostly on does flapper wheels now for...

Thanks LX!
