I'll come back and edit this post to include the available models, part numbers etc along with the years made. I'll need help from you guys with the old catalogs for some of the info. I have a few grinders on stands, a band saw, table saw and a couple others I will post later. For now, here is...

Hey guys, a lot of you have machines with Digital Read Outs and a lot of us want them. I recently picked up one for my mill and just got it installed the other day. I have 0 knowledge or experience with a DRO and between that, the poorly written manual and poor comprehension skills, I am lost. I...

Anyone here install a DRO on an old round ram BP? I have the 9x32 table round ram mill and want to install a 3 axis DRO on it and have some questions. Do you install the Z axis on the knee or quill? What size linear scales did you use? I'm looking at the cheap Chinese ebay kits, anyone here...

(A) I have six sticks of 1/2" finned copper tubing I got from my scrap guy. He said it came from a hot tub iirc, anyway I want to use it to cool the air from my compressor and help remove moisture from the system. My question is should I put this setup between the pump and tank, or tank and...

I am wiring a drill press with 240v single phase input to a vdf but I want to pull 120v for a work light. Will I need a 4 wire(two hots, neutral and ground) circuit from the breaker or can I use a 3 wire(two hots and a ground)?

There is a pick up only item I am interested in on eBay, I would be looking for someone to pick up and drop the item off at a fastenal or shipping store. I would be happy to pay a pick up/drop off and any palletizing fee if anyone is in the area of Collegeville. The item weighs 100-150 lbs...

So I keep on reading about Arduino on here but I'm not real familiar with it's uses. If you have one or experience with them, please post up your projects. Thanks

Looks like they are a Chinese manufacturer of several tool brands here in the US like Stanley, DeWalt, Baleigh, Delta and more. Link: http://www.geetech.com.tw/index.php/en/strategic-partenrship-e

I moved my mill under my pallet rack today and want to remove the temporary pallet. I have a chain fall and come along, I would like to fabricate a "bridge" of sorts across the pallet shelving that I can secure the hoist to. I have a few different pieces of scrap steel laying around so I'll need...

Just watching a show called Garage Dreams on Velocity and they were interviewing a guy in Australia with a Fairlane wagon. The camera kept panning across a shelf in his garage and there was a Jalopy Journal sticker on it big as ****. :3gears::3gears:

I'm going to kick this thread off with my latest addition to the Delta family in my shop. Good friend and fellow member Merclsu hooked me up with this machine he scored recently for an awesome deal, the motor is included but it's base needs welding so it's not attached in the pic. I didn't note...

Okay, I made a deal on a small Bridgeport M Head 3ph machine today over the phone after seeing pictures online. The machine looks decent and was sold as good working condition so it should be fine for a beginner like me. Does anyone have one and what should I look out for? The machine will be...

There is a Lagun mill posted locally for sale, I want to know if anyone knows anything about this model, potential value etc.

Anyone have any real world experience with this stuff? I kept seeing ads on my IG account for it, looks pretty handy and if it works as shown, probably would have saved a lot of my electric tools from the flood... In one ad, they are running a corded electric drill underwater!:rocker:

I'm in the process of refurbing an old 20" Delta metal/wood saw and it needs tires. From all my reading so far, they suggest crowned tires for proper tracking. The price difference is outrageous, flat tires are around $50-75 per pair and the pre-crowned tires are about $255 per pair. I have read...

Lots of members here with cool band saws, show us what you have! Prior to joining GJ, I only had one, since then I have bought and sold a dozen or more in the quest to upgrade on a budget. Earlier this year I snatched up a 20" Delta wood only machine but because it had the wrong motor/pulley...

Hey guys, it's hot as you know what down here and I woke up today with the ac not working. The thermostat is working, it is telling the house fan to circulate and the outside unit fan to kick on to cool the compressor(I guess) but it is NOT cooling. The large copper pipe that comes from the...

With all the recent mentions of sewing and GJ'ers making things with sewing machines, a couple great guys twisted my arm into starting a sewing projects thread. If anyone has any hand sewn or machine sewn projects or questions, please post up! To kick it off, I will post a pic of some seat...

I have been looking for a smallish mill for a while and now my partner in crime is heavy on the hunt for one as well. He has rounded up a few options but none local so we would like to hear some real reviews from actual owners. First up, he found a Precision Matthews 727 two states over and is...

I've been wanting to make my own bead roller for a while and have been collecting parts as I come along them. I think I have enough materials from what I seen in pics but I've only used one once and it was not mine so I'm not sure how to go about making it right. Does anyone have plans or pics...
