very cool machine, never seen one of these for sale in Canada before...
I happen to have 3 tripan 111s (lol), one came with my Holbrook minor (it was a factory accessory funny enough - weird for a british lathe) and two of them came from a really good deal on ebay kleinanzeigen that an instagram friend in germany very generously bought on my behalf and mailed. helps...
Haha, this is actually just plain 'ole HSS... I haven't used brazed carbide in ages. the picture looks deceiving I guess.
Thanks! just what I was hoping for.
Hi all,
so I've got this Lorch LLN that I bought a couple years ago, recently I've had to use it a couple times to make a few small pins/shafts and it got me thinking that maybe it's time to actually tool up to make it more useful and less of a comedy item in my shop.
The parts I've used it...
what are they called?
I worked in that area for like 4 years, didn't know there was a metal recycler there...
for what it's worth I've been using resource metals recently for my stuff, everytime I walk into metal supermarkets I know I'm getting fleeced pretty hard @_@
Here's a funny -
I've got this round mag chuck I bought years ago, and I'm finally going to make a backplate for it to use it for something (the idea is to use it to make tapered gibs to restore my lathe...). It was kind of stiff so I thought I'd pull it apart to grease it or something. Boy...

Another one - a real S0 this time. this one looks pretty hammered and I would not advise spending 1000$ on it...
and in case anyone was wondering if a real Deckel is worth much more than a clone...

not my ad, looks like a good deal though. I had a pregraph U2 just like this and it was pretty solid.
not sure what's up the the work head on it - maybe an endmill or drill grinding thing?
Oh yeah, that's not a bad idea for shorter pieces, didn't really think of that before. I should keep an eye out for 5c emergency collets now that I have this sjogren thingy.
I guess the whole appeal of the 6 jaw or whatever is to save time and not have to make custom fixturing. sometimes I get...
Thanks for the replies, everyone.
I (supposedly????) repair cameras so I think having a 6 jaw is justifiable. filter adapters, lens shades, lens tubes etc.. are all thin walled tubes. I have a pie chuck for one of my other lathes that I call into action sometimes for stuff like that.
I've got...
Hi all,
any thoughts on reasonable priced options for a 6 jaw chuck? I'm thinking maybe it's about time I get a chuck for my lathe (holbrook minor) that doesn't look like it was fished out of a dumpster.
right now I'm looking at aliexpress ones which seem to go from 200$ ish (125mm with one...
