Making parts

[My Old Tools]

I make a few parts for obsolete machines. I love an excuse to use my South Bend 13. I make these replacement arbors for old Millers Falls hand boring machines. I make them in two parts with an interference press fit. I also make the square key for locking in the bit. After 100+ years of use with steel on cast iron, the old shafts usually show a good deal of wear.

-Retired toolmaker here likes that somebody still makes parts for "obsolete machinery". What else does the shop have besides the SB-13?
