    Existing Feature torrent lathe T.72-42

    Hopefully these links worked. Luckily before I sold mine off I scanned the manual. I think it's two pdfs because one is the even pages and one is the odd ones. Let me know if you can't get to them...

    Thinking About Acquiring a Mill

    My pricing is based just off of general knowledge, there's always some flex depending on how the machine actually looks in person.. The nst 30 is the spindle taper, I'm quite certain that machine is a 30 taper as 40 taper is quite a bit larger. If it's 40 taper that's even better but it's...

    Thinking About Acquiring a Mill

    50a is LOTS on something like a vfd. Because that acts as a soft start ramping up the motor speed the current draw doesn't spike when it starts up. I run a 15hp phase converter which was starting a 10hp lathe on a 50a and have never tripped a breaker. As for the mill, depends on where you are...

    Engraving endmill

    Grab some nailpolish, infill and give it a bit of time to cure.. Ideally hours. I wouldn't suggest using acetone to wipe off the excess as it tends to get into the inlay and mess it up, lacquer thinner or even isopropyl seems to cut it much slower, use a lint free cloth in case it does soften...

    Engraving endmill

    I've been doing a bit of engraving (picture attached) in stainless and brass. Attached is a picture of the bits I used, These are 30degree with a 0.4mm flat on the bottom and do ok. This is on a router running at like 16k rpm and a D.O.C of I think 0.1mm, then a 2nd pass at 0.175mm. I...

    2x swivel bases, free to a good home

    I don't know to be honest, I've got some other cast scrap you can have if you're interested in trying it.

    2x swivel bases, free to a good home

    I likely used the vise on machines that have long since left and I have two swivel bases for machine vises.. If anyone wants them let me know before next weekend.

    Free To A Good Home - Work Table

    Well, this guys is back up for the forum. I didn't really use it much, just managed to get stuff piled on it so I'm trying to clean up and I 'discovered' it again. Anyone want it?

    4 Jaw Chuck

    I think this one is a bit thinner than the busy bee one, but the busy bee one is hollow.. Or at least the one or two I've had. You'll have to make an adapter plate or buy one. For that price it's worth a try.

    Anyone ever come across Milwaukee mag drill ?

    I wouldn't have ever ordered off of this site but since someone here has and got the product: https://vevor.ca/products/1hp-750w-magnetic-drill-md13-1910lbs-magnet-force-hvac-mining-annular-cutter?_pos=7&_sid=95c011572&_ss=r

    Anyone ever come across Milwaukee mag drill ?

    Yeah, its an option for sure. A couple things I've learned: I've got an old one that I picked up for $100 and its done -PRETTY- well but its sloppy in the bearing and really only has clearance for a 1" depth annular cutter. The centering pin deals with the slop more or less, the depth thing is...
