What Did You Buy Today?

Dang, @DavidR8, I see one heck of a nice shooting bench hidden in that clothing rack. Or a welding table, seeing how the top is good steel!

Unfortunately, the top is only 1/16" thick so not much better than the Norther Tool clone table that I have.
 
Ah, that settles it. You already have a welding table!

(Is the Northern Tool table only 1/16 thick? Yeesh!)

I just measured the Northern table. It's top is 5/64" thick so a whopping 1/64" thicker :rolleyes:

I bought this the other day though and I think it will become a better welding table with a proper 1/2" top.

I bought a like new ats 5C collets chuck to go with my huge selection of 5c collets.

Now between both of my lathes I have A Jacobs rubber flex chuck, b60 chuck with s-16 and s-20 master collets, a 5c collets chuck, a couple 3 jaw chucks, and a 4jaw

I guess now I need a 16c chuck and a 3j chuck to make sure I have every standard covered.

I like the ATS closers. I have one in 16c, another 5c (different brand)

The ATS is my favorite one.

What spindle mount do you have?

Mine is an A2-6.

A2-6 on the cnc and the manual is d1-6

Bigger lathe has a2-8 I believe but I haven’t got that running and it just has a 12” power chuck on it.


My other chuck the b60 is ats aswell. They seem to make ok stuff. The run out on that other chuck ain’t the greatest I’ve seen. It’s older though I’ll have to try this chuck out I just gotta make an adaptor for my draw tube and get the huge 10” power chuck off.
 
David, first thought I had is to figure out how to cut the under center braces free, measure all long tubes for cutting, and cut the table cross ways, overlap the table shortening it by half, you should have an X brace under the table, and double thickness. The X brace would need to be sectioned, and spliced, and everything else welded back together. I'm kind of a hack, but it is a thought I had. :rolleyes: :cautious:
