Van Norman heads tilt 90 degrees from vertical to horizontal. They get the bad rap from the Bridgeport fans because they don't generally have a quill movement. I agree, if I want an all purpose floor mounted drill - A Bridgeport Mill is the best solution. But for actual milling Cincinnati, K&T...

Lookin Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the tip Mike.

Nice use of that panel Oregon - very organized! I'll be in the 50 taper tool collecting club very soon!

Oh I agree wholeheartedly. Sign said 20 years or older. Hard to think that 1992 is 25 years old.

Thank you all for the comments & suggestions! I agree that there are some really nice options out there in preformed styles. Trouble is that they all expect a single set of wrenches to be organized by itself or are generic in 1 angle / 1 cut size for every wrench. I'm doing 1/4 up to 1-1/4 by...

Nice reading & great results!!!

Since we are talking 'Benchtop" & "Grizzly", allow me to introduce my G0773 Combination Lathe / Mill. I separated out the power feeds to each motor to allow for auto feed for milling operations. Only took 2 separate 20A breakers on a 100A subpanel.

Shows us your ideas for wrench organizers. I like having 2 of each size together, so came up with a quick 'proof of design' a few years back & need to make a better version. Show us what you have or at least give ideas for an improved version.

Re: Quincy "speed franken-pressor" tear-down. Nice write up & pics. Looking forward to updates!

2 thumbs up!!

Before HVLP paint guns came along, I was having to let the 80 gallon compressor at work rest, or charge back up more than I cared to rest myself. Now I have a measured 120 gallon tank from an old 138KV Circuit Breaker with a 2 stage Worthington as a project for my future shop.

1992 Hard to think of these as old. Just picked up a vintage Kennedy Machinist box! Been needing something with small drawers for lathe inserts.

Used the draw bar to make a slide hammer. With a lot of PB Blaster, that did the trick! Nice #26 Oregon! What is the box on the wall? I love the VN Logo. I've seen it on some belt covers, but, mine is plain. Id like to see the 1RQ-3-28 that 454 mentioned too!

Thanks Mr 454! Nice car too.

Hello, Anyone have experience using the no24 or similar from Van Norman? Getting my lighting to work again at the moment; but unsticking the overarm is also at the top of my list of things to do. Then it's sort out the garage more & figure just how I want to add the 3 phase converter to...

Thanks Ajohno & Cajunfirehawk! Hmmmm me love crawfish Todd.

Nice score!

You are allowing for voltage drop (good) & yes, you are overthinking. When I was a Distribution Engineer for a power company. we diversified the total load. In your case all lighting + plasma + air compressor & any type of heating or cooling would be figured for conductor size & reduced by...

Hello. No I'm not from the smog city. I'm from the state of LA. Teaching myself to be a machinist. I've enjoyed my midsized Grizzly lathe/mill combo. But, found it's limits quickly. Now I have a Van Norman 24MLA that I will be getting up & running in the coming months. Hope to find others...
