    Sunnen Pin Hone with mandrels and accessories

    Hi Wrebuild! They are handy for bushing work but for cylinders the AN series protables are actually a better choice, I made a cabinet from a laundry tub with oil recirculation and mounted a vise so I could Hold the cylinder in a plate, it was very versatile and accurate and using a drill motor...

    Sunnen Pin Hone with mandrels and accessories

    Hi There! I did sell it to a friend. The thing about them is when you need one it's one of the few machines capable of delivering. You are right in that they were for king pin bushes but they were for sizing wrist pins when pistons had to be fitted by the installer way back when. I used it...

    Taig 2019 CNC mill and accessories

    I've decided to sell my small CNC mill, It'd had little use in the years I've had it but it's been fun. I bought it in 2015. The pics below show it's current installation. I converted it from 1/3 hp AC to 550 watt DC with a 2 to 1 tooth belt setup. This gives 0 to 10,000 RPM at the spindle...

    Would this be possible

    Hi Folks! so To conclude at least for now I found this through my felers for about what the copying would cost. So I have a solution : ) All things comr to those who wait : )

    Would this be possible

    Hi Dan! I don't see me doing that myself. I don't have the room or the desire to do it. Not sure why but working in plastics etc just isn't my think, I've had some stuff printed over time and for me other than a development tool I have no real interest. Ive looked at laser engravers with much...

    Would this be possible

    Hi Bandit! If push came to shove I have to equipment and skills to make one from scratch using the existing one for a model. I have ads many places for an original and i believe I've sourced another to use in the mean time, as I say I have other guns to shoot so it's not a desperate thing I was...

    Would this be possible

    Hi Bandit! I have studiously avoided the 3d Printer black hole. I spend too much time trying to get my small cnc mill to do what I want in between other things and I really only use 2d drawings on it. There just isn't enough time and brain power for all this : ) I'm on the search for a kid with...

    Would this be possible

    Hi Bandit! Thank you! That is what I was wondering, now I need to find a 12 year old with a printer : ) My plan is to have the back half of the stock printed for use as LH and use as a template for the copier It should be easy enough to add a fake wooden forearm with the correct dimensions then...

    Would this be possible

    Hi Bandit. The thing about shooting is everyone typically has a dominant eye. There have been a number of suggestions to "just learn to shoot Right handed" If you have a dominant eye, which I do thats nigh on impossible. As a young man I entered the Cil safety training program which had a...

    Would this be possible

    Hi Don! you'd be surprised at how many of us there is : ) It's common enough because in the 60's and 70's a true LH firearm was very rare so a lot of companies went the route Anchutz did and used an existing action but made the stock accomodate southpaws. I've got a lot of feelers out we'll...
