    Tool Good grinding disks

    Tool creep?

    I'm also talking the vise itself. I usually lightly stone both the vise bottom and table, wipe clean and lightly oil. I then clamp the vise down and tram the edge so it's square, but also the bottom of the vise jaws to make sure it's not off kilter. Off by a few thou or two and errors can...

    Troubleshooting Colchester Master

    So I recently got a Colchester Master running. I found that when the lathe is on (motor and pump running, chuck not engaged), the chuck spins until I hit the brakes a few times. The chuck also continues to spin when I hit the carriage lever to neutral after some cuts. One would assume the...
