What Did You Buy Today?

i have not bought it yet, but when i first got the lathe, i was thinking ever since then, that it was a D1-4, well i went to pull the chuck off so that i could clean the inside of the spindle and all! And to my amazement, it is a D1-3! Now I wonder, how many Emco Super 11's have a D1-3 on it? Anywho, what this boils down to, is that i will be needing a ER setup. I would like a 40, the biggest material i would prob hold in the ER collets would a tad over one inch. It is that or i'll have to get a ER collet block and mount it in the 4 jaw on the lathe..

What is your opinion about stuff from HHIP? The have a D1-3 direct mount ER40

Are you positive it is D1-3? Did you measure?
 
Now please tell me that inserting that rod in the hole was not a satisfying experience!!! The tap wrenches I have used in the past were carp... when I got that one (I got all three sizes as well), man!, the first time I had to use it, the way you can insert and remove the handle is brilliant.... Just felt great.

I am not one to tempt people... but you really should get one of these (or better yet, all three sizes)... using it is like caressing a freshly powder coated Brembo caliper for a Porsche... trust me on this... the tactical feel of using these is something else... excuse me, I need a moment alone... will be right back...

Starrett 174 Tap Wrench
Starrett 91A Tap Wrench
Starrett 91B Tap Wrench
so you like removing the handle on your T wrench? just out of curiosity, why?
 
will it help it any if i were to get one of these?
Before I got that. I would look at the PM offering first, as it is a set tru style. That is if you have a D1-4 (also has just 3 cam-locks so measure if you haven’t…) the majority of your run out will be solved with that. Then a bearing style nut would help, but marginally less that of the set tru.

my Chuck runout is less than 1/10th

 
To store it back in the bag and then in its box... I get the feeling of having a new tool every time I need to use it again :D:grin big::grin big::grin big:
Ok, I thought there was a usage that I wasn't thinking of. My generals are captured, they don't come out as far as I know. Which is fine. I like them like that.
