Hi, i`ve been thinking recently about the finer things in life, and i landed my thoughts on the idea of harmonic dampers being used on a lathe... Now there are a few ways of going about the whole idea... One is using a harmo. damp. on the motor shaft to attempt to nullify the harmonic vibrations...

I recently bought a LeBlond regal 13 lathe and this was in the pile.

I have a 4 inch diameter disc, 3/8 inch thick aluminum, with a particular hole pattern. I need that same hole pattern in a 3 inch disc. I have already cut one down from the side, 5 thousandths at a time, on my Jet lathe. It took close to an hour and made a pile of shavings. Is there a way to...

I’m trying to find a good tap and die for my legs like an MT3 set up. All of the reviews on the ones I’m finding or not so great I didn’t know if anybody had a recommendation for a good set that would do a good range of sizes? I try to single point thread as much as possible but I want to be...

Oh boy did I screw myself this time... First of all, thank you guys for reading and please excuse my writing because English is my second language. So a while ago I bought this old used Spanish lathe for 500€, and I've been restoring it. It was in poor condition (and still is), but it's usable...

I am pretty new to machining, although my father was a hobbyist and my stepfather was a machinist, and feel like I am learning quickly. That said, I decided I wanted to really get myself setup for success. I inherited all of my father's tools after he passed away and he had a Smithy CB-300 3-in1...

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum, I am sorry if I have posted this in the wrong section. Please could someone help me with making a thread dial indicator, the part that I am struggling with is making or getting hold of a gear that I can use on my Chester MF42-B. It has a TR20 x 4mm...

I have been setting up my new to me Takisawa 14" lathe. Wow, is it fun to make chips with this. It cuts steel like my old Logan cut aluminum. But now all my tooling, accessories, DRO, etc. needs to be redone. Buying a bunch of CXA tool holders, I quickly figured out that setting the tool...
