    VISE REPAIR 101 all vise repairs, lubricants, sources for parts and the tricks to fix

    So with the Acme style threads, I feed in the same way you would with a normal 60* thread, except with the correct angle for the thread I'm cutting. Those ones don't chatter too bad. The square threads must be cut feeding directly in, the one I did with a square thread did chatter quite a bit, I...

    The Machine Work Thread

    Just got all these back from anodizing. Took roughly 6 months pecking away at them in my free time at work / after work. All done using our HAAS toolroom mill. Everything is 6061 aluminum. They are all for RC race buggies, not sure of the scale. Just about everything was custom designed by the...

    Interior metal walls NEED trim piece at bottom

    You could make your own "J -channel" Out of some wood. Furring strip on the back side to take up the height / thickness of the gap, and some 1X to bake a basic base molding? Could even use Azek so you dont have to paint and could plug the holes with the trim kit.

    Best of the vintage Craftsman machine lathes

    The Craftsman lathes are made by atlas, but seem not as good in my opinion. Most have no quick change gear box, some of the smaller ones don't even have carriage or cross feeds. Most models had change gears, and you need to make sure you have a complete set if you buy one without a quick change...

    South Bend Lathe help

    Definitely no South Bend. I would also pass because of the condition, and because its all in metric. Probably impossible to convert to English without knowing the maker.

    That Bridgeport WILL come out one way or another...

    If the sled is the only option, make sure you pull it out backwards - with the back of the column facing up the stairs. That way all the weight is up front and there's no risk of it spinning around on its way up Definitely consider removing the head and ram, it will make it much less topheavy...

    Craftsman router gear - 315.17380

    Well no wonder my router wouldn't raise and lower! The gear has broken. I've poked around for a couple days on marketplace and Craigslist, but I have not found a donor. Would anyone happen to have a donor router for sale, or possibly just this gear? It's listed as part #27 in the manual, and...

    American Precision Museum - Windsor, VT

    Stopped by the American Precision Museum yesterday, located in Windsor, VT. About a two hour drive from where we live, so an excellent day trip. For those who do not know, the museum started life as an armory producing rifles in the 1800's, and eventually moving to consumer products. I've...

    Thanks for the catalog page Lugnutz! Also forgot I had a BSA hatchet made by Bridgeport in my camping gear. One of the later models with the rubber handle and painted red. Seen better days, but it gets the job done. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Show your vintage Bridgeport tools!

    A good friend of mine gave me this hacksaw the other day. I can't find ANY info on it. Cant even find any pictures of the same thing online. Maybe someone here has some info on it? Bridgeport no. 30 hacksaw. I love the green handles, and the ribbed design inside the handles is interesting as...

    What is this "nut" called?

    So I'm restoring an old shopsmith, and the threaded one of these "nuts" is stripped. I'm going to make a new one myself, but I was actually just more curious what it was actually called, and if they were commercially available? Im leaning towards it being called a clevis, but I've found no...
