Thank you. Im giving the car a 1.5” lift in the front so I’m looking for round bar stock preferably that I can turn on the lathe but I could definitely make flat bar / sheet stock work as well… would just need to be 1.5” thick. I did locate some 6” Uhmw round bar stock from industrial plastics...

Anyone happen to have any 6” or larger aluminum round bar plastic round bar (delrin, hdpe, uhmw)? Making some spacers for a small lift on my VW wagon. Lmk, Thanks in advance.

You guys still have these scales? I’d pick them up… I’m in Calgary

Cool, I'll check that out as well. Thanks for the lead.

Thanks for letting me know. please keep in touch about it as i have a machine that i need to get running within the next couple of weeks. cheers!

Does anyone have a line on single to 3 phase converters? Looking for 7.5 HP or in that range. I also need a 3 phase transformer (600v). I thought i would ask around before i go drop a pretty penny on new equipment.

Oh ffs! I forgot about those rounds!! Work had me all over the place for awhile and then I recently got laid off, which isn't a bad thing! Can you PM me your number and ill send you a txt and come grab them rounds early this week!

Any of this material still kicking around? im in need of some approx 4" solid bar. approx 12" length

I have 2 boxes of WIDIA CNMG 433 inserts. I prefer to use positive inserts on my small Atlas lathe so i'm looking to trade. If anyone has CCMT inserts and would like to do a trade for these CNMG, let me know. cheers!

I think my only option is to replace the "Center plate" when I want to have a solid stop in place and then install the electronic stop when i'm using power feed. I can't really think of any other way to manage it, but really it's just 2 screws. I have not tested to see how accurate the...

Very cool stuff, thanks for the detail!

I'm not sure, I haven't thought about it. I have never done any blackening but maybe this would be a good opportunity to learn the technique.

Hi Peter, its the same concept for my table stops (electronically though). There is a two sided switch and as the button depresses the switch, the table stops (when in power feed mode). I have attached a photo for a reference. Before I installed the power feed, I found the exact same...
