LOL! The worst would become a #2 for the mill. It came with it and I suspect it's 1987 vintage like the mill. It has all those years of accumulated patina & dried cutting oil in it (as did the whole mill) so I expect it would need a long soak in something rather nasty to soften up all those...

UPDATE: Might as well put this here for anyone who has the same idea in the future...... Spoiler: @ChazzC gets the prize for the answer closest to correct. I got in contact with Rohm (handed off to NA Service....) to ask how they came apart, their initial reply was they don't offer service on...

Yikes! D :cool:

If I recall I bought their low odour varsol at Home Hardware so that might be an option too. When I order from Grainger they set up a temporary “account” just for the order, it goes away when the order is complete. That way there’s no need to do the overhead for a permanent account like...

I saw that. That’s the chuck. I actually have two of these chucks, I planned to take apart the worst one first. It came with my First mill and it is way out of spec and stiff, a good candidate for a tear down. I actually bought another chuck for daily use on the mill. The other came with my...

Quick question: Does a 1/2" Rohm plain bearing chuck come apart like a similar Jacobs? Said differently, does the outer collar (with the teeth the key engages) press off toward the nose of the chuck like a Jacobs? I've gotten around to opening the chuck that came with my mill to clean it and I...

Grainger are good if you are OK buying a package (50 - 100) etc. Often cheaper to buy a box even if you only need a few and better selection than retail. D :cool:

I like it also. A side benefit is that it doesn’t smoke so I don’t get the evil eye for the smell of hot cutting oil when I’m using it. Instructions on my bottle say cut with up to one part water, I guess that means 1:1. D :cool:

+1 After a few experiences with my HSS blade I’ve had the same thoughts about plug and play carbides. That said I have recently had good success by grinding a nice negative rake/chip breaker, dressing it SHARP with an EZ-Lap and running as low as 32 RPM. This would be on my lightweight...
