Thanks.. I reread Carla's post and now it makes sense. This morning I read it as the head (not the head of the valve) had the pockets/recesses, so that led me to assume it had to do with the seats (thread-in instead of press-in) and was trying to figure out how the youknowwhat that would assist...

Have you tried unscrewing it? Likely reverse (LH) thread.

Forgive the naïve question (only on second cup of coffee)... so the adapter was used to thread in a valve seat... ? I'm trying to picture how the adapter would assist in lapping the valves themselves...

You can also try just about any safety equipment or welding supply retailer...

Going back maybe six years ago, the majority (if not all) of SO's hydraulic jacks were made by Shinn Fu/Shinn Fu America.

Nice score on getting a cabinet model so cheap! It would be fun to bring something back from the brink like that. Here's to hoping the bed, ways and carriage are still true...

One of my brake lathes is identical to yours. The actual manufacturer is a Canadian company named RJ West. To my knowledge, they made these lathes for a variety of companies, some already mentioned such as Atlas, Bear, etc., and the one mine is branded as- Hofmann. They also have produced a line...

Stopped by the last day of an estate/garage sale this morning. All for $20. Not that I needed any of it, but I have spent much more than that for a single long 17mm Allen from S-O before. The largest in this batch is 5/8". The S-016 filters are discontinued, so I figured someone I know may...

I suddenly feel compelled to visit Connecticut, and have no idea why... :headscrat

That's the same lot- and it all sold this morning (not to me).

What exactly does the company you work for do, anyways?

WHAT THE.... WHERE did... How did.... When... WTF!?! Oh, yeah... YOU **** ! ;)

jmark- no doubt, and good safety tip. Anything I would have on a shelf would be like the one I pictured above, so I would not be leaning over the lathe to reach what was needed. For items that would be needed during operation, I am planning on having a collet rack with attached shelf that would...

matt- True, and that may end up happening. At least for the time being...

Thanks for posting this! I have been trying to find the rare optional full belt guards for the Atlas 10" lathes with no luck. I just sent the ad poster an email... fingers crossed!

Not sure you can pinpoint that exactly down, but you can start by looking for a manufacturer stamp. For I don't know how long, the manufacturer has had to have an identifying mark on at least one lens and/or a temple. Some are etched or embossed into the polycarb, some are inked. For example...

Well, I wasn't asking anyone to create a design for me, merely to see what other people have along with any input as to what works for them and what doesn't. That said, I never really thought of approaching this from the angle you propose, so here's the basics: - 10"x36" bench lathe ~46"...

As the title says- I'm after photos of lathe backsplashes for design ideas. Skimmed through most of the lathe-specific threads here, did Google image searches as well. Surprisingly, not finding too much out there. I've been thinking of various designs, sizes, tool storage integration or not...

I just dug something up I thought may help some of you- it's a welding filter selector guide we used to have in the catalog. It is not brand specific- the info applies to any filter, made by any manufacturer. As you can see, it shows the minimum safe shade, and a recommended one based on the...
