Underthetire,

Thanks, I know this thing is old but for a home machinist I think it is ideal.:) Now I just need to find out how to fully use it.:confused:

Jack.

Underthetire,

If no manual, could you tell me how to get the image to project onto the screen?:):) Also, do the ones at your work have a name plate or a model # on them?

Thanks,

Jack.

Underthetire,

Thanks for the quick response. Would you have access to a manual for that thing?

Jack.

Thanks guys for the response. I should have typed "Metallurgy".(chair) I thought it most likely a toolmakers microscope but haven't seen one with a screen before. Also, although I can see an image...

Need help to identify this. See my thread in Metallurgy
Jack.

Dave,

Thanks for the reply. The box to the left is the power supply. I don't need it but it will be nice to have once I figure out how to use it.:cool: Was hoping someone here could shed some...

Need help identifying this instrument. It has no name plate but has Carl Zeiss on the removable parts. I bought this from a C/L sale but got no manual. The person I bought it from thought it was a...

Anyone here use ViaCad? I downloaded the free trial version of ViaCad 2D/3D v6 and find it to be a steep learning curve. Any feed back from other users would be greatly appreciated.

Jack.

Frank,
Thanks for the reply. I'll give it a look.

I (and possibly others) would like to see some plans for a home made T & C grinder, please not Quorn. I have seen the plans by Harold Hall in the " Workshop Practice Series" but it is way too small...

Hi 21,
My lathe is a manual grizzly 14X40. I tried a screw yesterday but it didn't fit. The threads didn't look right(the space between the threads wasn't deep enough by the time I reached the...

Lots of good responces guys. The existing screw measures .1335 on the threads with my dial caliper and I checked the thread again with my trusty thread guage and 44 seems to be right on. Jack.

Thanks guys. One of the specialty screw stores thought it might be a m3.5 but he didn't carry any. Tried another screw store....they didn't carry them either. Tried on line... same story, so I guess...

Thanks guys. I tried a 5-44 screw and it goes in OK but it is loose. I tried a 6-40 screw and it started but bound up right away so I think it is a 6-44. I went to a gunsmithing site and found some...

I have a need to cut a 6-44 screw. I need it for one of my indexable lathe tool holders as the existing screw is too short for the carbide cutter I have. I have tried the local specialty screw...

To N4NV... I love when that happens. For myself I am retired from the printing industry after 38 years. Mostly worked in the pre-press or prep department as a stripper, cameraman, proofer and...

For what it is worth I have a friend with a older 9X19? or 20?. He complains about the lead screw being quite worn. He is retired and uses the lathe and a Grizzly benchtop mill quite a bit to make...

I forgot to add that I had to take .020 off the 12" face plate to get it to run true. Jack.

I recently bought a used Grizzly 14X40 (G0554) and have found it to be a verry good machine. No broken parts, good finish, quiet, and turns a good finish at close tolerance (.0005 over 8"). I work...

Vince,
I see you are in San Jose. The guys at "Mechanical Maintenance" are in S. Cal. somewhere. Try a google search for ..Mechanical Maintenance B.S.R. They helped me fix my ball screw after I...

A friend of mine not a member of this site wanted me to search for anybody with info on a "Childs model 0000" horizontal mill. It is about 12 inches tall by about 12 inches deep. He needs the...

I bought the Harold Hall book a short while ago. It is a good short course for the beginning machinist. I havn't made any of the projects but plan to soon. I don't care for the metric dimmentions and...

Put the capasitors between the two powered legs and the 3rd generated leg. look on this site for several plans showing where to connect them and the starting values for your application. the desired...

Got most of the lathe sanded down, puttied & re painted. I busted the same gear I replaced so had to order another one. Maybe should have ordered two. I think I know why it busted again and will try...

I finally got the mill cleaned up (it had a ton of coolant and chips stuck to much of the front and sides of it) and back together (as much as I had at least). I had to make a new shaft (the one that...

You guys at M&M B.S.R. were a life saver. Thanks again. Jack.

Hi Damae,
Thanks for the interest. The phase converter so far is just Jerry riged to test the motors. Set up only with start capasitors for now. Will need run caps. to balance the 7 1/2 hp. The...

Hi Kevin,
Checked the local shops and found zip. Made a new end cap for $10.00 and it's 10 X better than the factory unit (heavy bittet vs thin cast). Paid $ 10.00 for each motor and they both work...

Tested my homebuilt phase converter last week with the 7 1/2 horse motor. It works. The motor needed a new end cap so I made one on a friends lathe and bridgeport. The end cap was my most complicated...

I tried to brighten up the pics alittle for this try to show more detail. Jack.
