• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

    Headstock Bearing Races

    Normally cup and cone install isn't pressed fit. So the cup should slide out. But the ice and or weld would work. Access to the offending area is the tricky part. Gluck

    Headstock Bearing Races

    MIG or old smokey would work too. YMMV but this is my exp! I suppose if you had some dry ice cubes or nuggets you could use your needle nose pliers and grab some while you "rub" the race gently. :D

    Mystery lathe, for real

    More likely a 3600 rpm motor. But yes this is exactly what I did and many others have done in the past. At that point a 150$ VFD would compliment your new motor ( would have to be 3 phase ) Nice to dial in some speed when parting off, I enjoy my vfd on both my mill and lathe. Gluck
