Lugs are too wide, besides, I thought you wanted it?

Are your lugs bolted in ?

Reading through this thread is like visiting a forum in another language; the pictures are cool, but I have no idea what anyone is talking about. LOL

I will def start taking more pics if that's the case. Right now I am using the lathe more than the mill....getting well acquainted as it were. I have used a lathe for 10 years....but it had digital readout and other bells and whistles. Using this bare bones old girl is taking some practice . Its like learning which stair is the squeaky one when sneaking out at night. I am learning new approaches.....

Glad I'm not the only one, and I was a machinist in a former life.

They appear to be pressed in. While the holder *might* be able to be modified to fit the shell mill, I'm not sure if it's worth the effort??

Bridgeports are too big for me - so I got me smaller toy.

Its got a knee...i like that..

70CB750 · « **Reply #162 on:** July 31, 2014, 03:04:16 AM »

I figured better to buy big(er) than need to upgrade later. Now for tooling

Please support us, the honeless people of this online community... PM any information on what you have.

Oh yeah, there are a couple lathes available, one is an atlas table top lathe, and other is a South Bend which would be a good one for somebody, and a third that is a huge W.S. turret lathe, pics are posted of all of them on the shop thread.

Might be able to deliver the SB or the table top Atlas to Barber if anyone is interested.

We never set up the Atlas but it should be a good unit. I know that there are a couple people who have an interest in it and they maybe have too much in it to sell it real cheap, not even sure what we'd need to get. The WB pictured I think asking is $1200, might come down just a little depending on how the deal goes, but it would be at least a pickup truck to get it anywhere.

I have Logan 210 since 2006 or so and if I ever upgrade I will go with new(er) machine. It is not just about how tight it is, but for the old American Iron typically it is complicated to cut metric threads.

faux fiddy · « **Reply #168 on:** August 01, 2014, 05:40:28 AM »

These have been superceded with a morei sakae that is perfect for a MC shop. It has one gear that needs replaced, but you can work around the ranges with the others.

FrankenFrankenstuff · « **Reply #169 on:** August 22, 2014, 04:25:56 AM »

OK , so I was supposed to be cleaning out my basement for a move.....and I got more tooling...I have a problem.

Prokop- just tell me what you need and we can pm a price. I have started listing stuff on eBay for $2.22 (xjoemamax is my eBay name)

Reamers, end mills, drills, scales, micrometers.... anyone?

70CB750 · « **Reply #170 on:** August 22, 2014, 04:32:28 AM »

OK, will take a look.

FrankenFrankenstuff · « **Reply #171 on:** August 22, 2014, 05:29:07 AM »

I just think it is easier to put together a package for you knowing what you need rather than .....here is some stuff. Tell me size mills, styles...etc. 2 flute TIN 1/4" 3/8" shank.....

Stev-o · « **Reply #172 on:** August 22, 2014, 06:32:53 PM »

I could use a micrometer, jomama

FrankenFrankenstuff · « **Reply #173 on:** August 22, 2014, 07:49:32 PM »

For your "sand cast" ? That eBay message was a hoot. The micrometers are the "C" looking outside style. Brown and Sharpe .

Yes, will the micro meter work on my Sandy cast?!
