    Re: Mill Turn 5C chuck

    A few more photos.

    Also you could use the collet blocks and drawbar that Shopmaster sells. Works with a 3, 4, or 6 jaw chuck.

    Re: Mill Turn 5C chuck

    I had a sketch at the time, but, it is long since gone. These are important measurements I found on my phone.

    Re: Threading on a Patriot Shopmaster

    You may need a new Hall switch. I had to replace mine. The light on the switch should be lit when near the magnet.

    Re: Threading on a Patriot Shopmaster

    For what it's worth, I have never got a G76 cycle to work right. I use G32 I think. I have some notes for what worked written in my manual but don't have it with me right now. I fought the thing for...
  6. Shopmaster Bridgemill spindle wrenches and tool post

    I have a couple of shop made wrenches that I am pretty sure fit the older Shopmaster Bridgemill lathe spindle. They were quickly made when I needed them so they are not perfect but worked. Also a...

    Re: 2007 Tri-Power not repeating

    What kind of accuracy are you looking for? Plus or minus .0002 or .002?

    First, I'm no expert by any means, so take what I say with a grain of salt. Seems like lack of accuracy could be caused by...

    Re: Mill Turn - Limit and home switches

    Limit switches do add to the safety somewhat but they are no guarantee by any means. They are valuable in setting up work offsets too. Each pair of switches on an axis is wired in series and normally...

    Six jaw chuck for Shopmaster

    Seems like I am always chucking stuff by the threads so I decided to look at getting a six jaw chuck to hopefully cause less damage to threads. I ordered a cheap Chinese Sanou six jaw 6 inch chuck...

    Re: Touch off

    How do the numbers on the Delos dro compare to the Mach 3 dro? Is there some lost movement somewhere? Are the steps per unit set up correctly? Backlash?

    Maybe a video would help.

    Mill Turn - Limit and home switches

    After thinking about it for a while, I decided to install limit switches on my Mill Turn machine. I found only one or two examples of limit switches installed on Shopmaster machines and nothing on...

    Re: Shopmaster Mill Turn 2017

    @timshufflin,

    I don't know much, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

    Shopmaster Mill Turn 2017

    Things are pretty slow around here so I thought I'd upload some photos of my Mill Turn 2017.
