    Machine Lubrication

    Well, to keep you guys up to date: I wound up going a totally different route than I had planned! My shop and many others use Fuchs brand lubricants; after talking to the rep and getting awesome service I am now running Fuchs in my lathe and will be using it in all other machining equipment that...

    Atlas 1020 Drill Press Restoration

    It's funny you guys are talking about scraping, I've actually been e-mailing Richard King about getting his DVD and about his classes. He did say that due to hassles with Canadian Customs he doesn't think he'll be coming back to Canada, but I bet if we got a good size class together we could...

    Atlas 1020 Drill Press Restoration

    Just read through both of your restoration threads, Earl. Great work! I like the sound of that Wurth epoxy too; my lathe ways are pretty scarred up from abuse, I might have to look into getting some of that.

    Machine Lubrication

    Thanks for all the input, guys! I definitely have some things to think about. I'm going to ask work if they mind if I occasionally fill up a small oil can with way oil; that would be one thing down. As for the two types of grease my lubrication diagram calls for I know I want to make sure that...

    Machine Lubrication

    Hey PeterT, thanks for that sample page! I think the page you mentioned is http://www.lathes.co.uk/ it's an amazing source of information. I do have the owners manual, and there's a lubrication plate on the back of the lathe as well. The recommended lubes are: Texaco Regal Oil BR &O Texaco...

    Hey Earl, I know where there's a small Southbend shaper that I'm hoping to someday convince the owner to sell. Have any shots of your restored machines? -Eric

    Machine Lubrication

    Hey guys, I haven't been here in forever! My stupid phone is a piece of junk and I had to get rid of Tapatalk. Anyways, I'm finally getting my lathe back together after a year apart (I know, it's embarassing) and I'm wondering: What do you guys use for lubrication? Where do you go for...

    Old motorcycle projects

    Looks great, John! If you still wanted the engine turned look you could probably anneal the back-side of the aluminum before bending too. This bike is going to be damn cool! Sent from my B15 using Tapatalk

    Looking for Shaft Repair in Calgary

    Hey guys, I got ahold of a guy through Kijiji who was looking to get a couple of shafts machined down after he gets them welded up. I was going to do the work for him but it turned out he was down in Calgary so I figured I'd pass the ad along and someone here could contact him. Here's the ad...

    Sourcing Metal | General Discussion

    What scrapyard in Edmonton still lets you pick stuff? The ones near me (General Scrap and Maple Leaf) won't let that fly. Closest you get is the cut offs shed at General. Sent from my B15 using Tapatalk
