1943 Wade 8a (Serial #407) Second Operation Lathe. Teco L510 single phase 220 to 3 phase 220 powering a 2hp motor. Vintage controls + tons of learning how to properly configure the VFD = Vintage look and feel with contemporary results. Most importantly, it makes chips. :) When I got it, circa...

I realize this is an old thread. Some of us actually use the Search feature. :) I have a similar taper attachment, model 200. Some additional Googling came up with this ad from a 1946 printing of Popular Mechanics magazine. Make with the clicky thing. Cool old lathe accessory, IMHO. :)

Years have gone by which is the exact point of my post. How is the longevity and sustainably of the US General boxes? Casters are easy and cheap to upgrade. While interested in any caster failures, I'm much more interested in drawer and drawer bearing issues. My purpose is to house machinist...

I realize this is an ancient thread, but Jason, I sent you an email. Thanks, Darren

Great wood burning stove. Just do not need it any more.Just surface rust, very little use. This would work well in a hunting cabin, shop,etc. Cast iron, heavy, ready for winter. $250 OBO or trade for just about anything gun related. Bring a truck and a friend, it's heavy! Send me a PM with...

Any updates?

Wow! Small world. He's my Chiro! I know the message wasn't directed to me, but I'll say hi to him anyway. (Small freak'n world.)

Any reason for not going with a metal building? (HOA?)

Jeeezzzzz how did I miss this build?!?! And in Aledo too?? Are you in Aledo proper or Annetta? If you need anymore help in the future shoot me a PM. We just moved out here in the summer and I sure don't mind meeting new garage junkies!!! <-- Garagejunky before "The Journal". Plus, I really...

Anyone know what this is?

Pm sent!

I'll take them if a buddy of mine can swing by. I'll check with him and get back to you ASAP. (Yet tonight.)

Awesome!!! Well done. How much cash do you think you have invested in that little ******? Less than Harbor Freight I'd bet ya. ;)

I was going through Miller's website and found this. Looks better than the Chinese made one. :D http://www.millerwelds.com/interests/projects/ideagallery/project/965970285/

Defender makes a great point about time. My interest is the build itself and is a hobby. If it's a business, then obviously you don't want to spend time making tools. I'd have to agree. Again, good luck!

Personally, I think you should. An angle is easy enough to mill on a straight line. Do the other side to your liking and viola. You've got yourself a great break. Not to mention. YOU BUILT IT. Also, what are you talking here. 16 gauge, 14? Sheet steel? Aluminum? Honestly. The "business" end of...

Can you weld? If so, just make the thing. It's a piece of angle iron w/ supports. I made one and it's quite easy. Does it look great? Well, it would if I wanted to grind and paint it. Does it work? Yeah, and it only cost like $10 in SCRAP. Hell, I'll make you one for 200, free shipping. What color?

Looks great. As a Shelby fan I'd be VERY proud to donate 250 to a good cause in his name. The voluntary signature would just be icing on the cake. (Who knows. That donation may save my life, or my kids', one day.)

General cost on that floor pictured?

SOME are the same as their SAE equivalent. Like the 3/4" will work on a 20mm. Not perfect, but damn close. Still, I have filled in the missing ones, when needed and ticks me off when I have to as well. SAE to Metric Conversion
