I have a set for a CX706 (10x22) lathe, might be the same. Was not really planning to sell them but I could probably be enticed.

I will do some variation in the near future, so many projects and not enough time.

Thanks. Link to video...

Largest bit is ~1". I use annular cutters above that. So mostly S&D 9/16 to 1" Anyone using a fixture to keep on track angle wise?

This looks like a viable solution. Great thing is it's free. Thanks for the image, I will definitely consider this option.

I'm going to go poke around PA this week, see if they have something.

I did, but because of the short engagement length, I think it might be too floppy. Good idea though.

The thought occurred to me but I don't have anything like this at hand and even at a pick-and-pull prices would cost more than something from Ali. I was also thinking something from a yard machine of some sort, I see John Deer splined stuff on eBay but only one side not both sides. Looking at...

Without seeing/understanding the circuit it's not possible to answer your question. In many cases (neglecting cost). Just use a bit "bigger" one is a reasonable approach for a repair. Triacs come in many flavours with different on/off characteristics relating to the quadrant of the cycle they...

I use a Drill Doctor for small bits. For larger bits I need to hone my drill sharpening skills. I only have one grinder at the moment and the wheel has a very coarse grit. Seems like I should start with a smaller grit wheel. I actually have an older but good white much finer grit wheel so I...

I'm looking for a splined coupler set, a bit like a PTO shaft. I'm fairly flexible on tooth count, anything say 7 teeth and up and 1/2-1"1-1/2" diameter. Rigid straight steel, no universal. I want to fit this between the quill handle and quill shaft on my mill so I can easily change the angle...

Looking great. A good restoration is a thing of beauty. My buddy did a SM a while back, better than new.

Thanks for posting. The crazy thing is that crappy bus bar actually has a certification sticker, some of the crap with the meaningless CE mark stickers is even worse, I have tested 5V USB type chargers with 120V Hot connected directly to the 5V output! It might be a fake or rubber stamp type...

Yes, it's a two speed motor, it has two sets of windings a low speed high torque and a high speed. However as stated 3P motors can also be wound as two speed with the same benefits so the magical monarch motor is not all that magical. One example...
