I just picked up a Central Machinery (item #44859), BD 812 8" X 12", series no. 061098 metal lathe at a local flea market for $200, and everything is in working order but far from being a good...

...I couldn't find any battery for this particular dial indicator but i did find a tech at baystate that will put a battery together for me for $19.50 + free shipping. I made a video of the dial face...

I appreciate the info and link but I found this particular indicator
Locally at a tool consignment place in my area for $14.00! Their website is (www.toolsconsignment.com) That's why
I'm looking...

The battery is found when you remove the face of the indicator, then you'll run into a mother board, unscrew the motherboard and you'll see the battery. I didn't take the back off, I went in via the...

Well it turns out the battery seems like it's dying, I tried the 9VDC [300mA] wall adapter and it turned on with all zeros but when I moved the plunger the travel amount gave me a read that remained...

OK, I just found this:

at the bottom of the page it shows the exact Brown & Sharpe indicator I have but it states that it...

I found I have a few spare 9VDC 300mA [AC] wall adapters and cut the wires to reverse the polarities to fit your description of how the positive but nothing seem to be happening. Do I wait until the...

I apologize for the delay of response. I never did resolve it until now, sort of, I put the indicator project on the back burner because I wasn't coming up with anything that helped and I had other...

Sorry, I couldn't load pictures of the build. Have to go through shutterbug or something. Well, for the most part it's a cantilevered design based on a pick and place platform found on ebay for $600,...

I just purchased A Brown & Sharpe Digital Dial Plus 599-1033 dial indicator as "cold" item (just the indicator- no documention, instruction manual, or any other parts...as it stands a paper weight,...

I found a Carter motor while cleaning out our Prop storage for a TV news company I work for, it was used for an [automatic] Green Screen, possibly for weather dept. about 20-30 years ago....

Hi jackary2003, I'm hoping you can assist me; I've been trying to follow your stepperhead lathe for awhile and have found the pics on Tony's site:

I just threw Timken brand bearings out there, i don't necessarily need Timken but the posting was to start a snowball effect of what would be a better type of bearing for my Sherline headstock from...

I've had a Sherline 5500 milling machine for over 10 years but have used it, in what would amount to less than 6 months time, since getting the machine.
Now the headstock bearing (one underneath...

Sorry, I have the measurements wrong, the correct measurement are 2.280 collar dia. and the width of the bar is 1.750, Well the arc is going to sit on the OD of a 2.280 aluminum collar, so I thought...

I have a small 4" sherline rotary table that i have never used (came with the milling machine package) but I now have a project that requires a concave arc within a 1.530 -1.535 radius on .375 thick...

Yeah, I have a very good stock of stainless, so i'll go from there. Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

One more question on the spindle from the website of the guy who built his own mini-milling spindle, is that a stainless steel he's using for the spindle body? Thanks.

Thanks RotarySMP, that really helps, really appreciate it.

RotarySMP would you happen to have or know the dimensions of the guy's website you mentioned above homemade spindle dimensions?:

I finally have the time and money together to build a cnc machine but have run into a problem. I want to run DC servo's that run between 12V-18V, I was told that three toroidal transformers at 6V,...

Hi there Herbertkabi, I was looking over your posts, again, and wondered if you can give some dimensions to the homemade high speed spindle featured in this thread. I know it may be an old post, and...

All right, this may be a basic question to you all, but that's why I ask, you all may hold the answers, and where better to get machining answers than here on cnczone.com, let alone the members?

...and no pics, huh?

Why not have fun and make your own, it'd be a nice challenge. Maybe something like this:
