I have 2 boxes of WIDIA CNMG 433 inserts. I prefer to use positive inserts on my small Atlas lathe so i'm looking to trade. If anyone has CCMT inserts and would like to do a trade for these CNMG, let me know. cheers!

I think my only option is to replace the "Center plate" when I want to have a solid stop in place and then install the electronic stop when i'm using power feed. I can't really think of any other way to manage it, but really it's just 2 screws. I have not tested to see how accurate the...

Very cool stuff, thanks for the detail!

I'm not sure, I haven't thought about it. I have never done any blackening but maybe this would be a good opportunity to learn the technique.

Hi Peter, its the same concept for my table stops (electronically though). There is a two sided switch and as the button depresses the switch, the table stops (when in power feed mode). I have attached a photo for a reference. Before I installed the power feed, I found the exact same...

As many of you have seen, I made a 60 Deg. Dovetail cutter and the reason I made it was to make some QCTP holders. I'm just about finished my first one, which was a prototype and then i'm going to batch out a bunch. I'm very please with how this is turning out..... I made this one to hold 1"...

Very cool Peter! You are an artist! Lots of interesting setups and jigs! I was also going to ask about the liner. How are you honing it to tolerance? Are you using a commercially available hone or did you make something? Are you using stones or a lapping compound?

Very nice peter! I am going to make some new X stops for my mill as well. After I installed the power feed, I discovered that the stock button stops are slightly out of alignment with the electronic feed stop switch. I like your implementation and i'm sure those are VERY solid. I'm...

Thanks sorrelcreek. It was most definitely a bit of a let down once i figured that the bore was out of tolerance after I thought I nailed it but in the end I think I made a better part. I found it surprising that if the ways are not perfectly level, it throws it out so much! At first I...

Hi Peter, on the topic of using the unused edges of inserts, I have 2 face mills that take APKT Inserts and one of them uses the insert in the vertical orientation and the other face mill used the inserts in the horizontal position. Its very convenient to have both of these face mills and i...
