    Broken tap removal

    I broke a tap in a thread over the weekend, but it was a bit bigger at 1/4-20 and it was a thru-hole in 3/8" plate. I also should have known better...

    Not really a deal: Sharp 1440 Lathe, West Kootenays

    Yeah, he's got the original paperwork as the ad's 2nd pic. Bought brand new straight from Sharp machine tools in North Van with all the usual stuff (dro, follow rests, drill, faceplate).

    4x6 bandsaw cart and improvements

    So, in another thread I mused that my 4x6 bandsaw was a neverending projects list but I think with these few improvements I'm done for now with the upgrades to my little bandsaw. These are certainly not new ideas and I leaned heavily on the internet for inspiration and ideas. First off, a new...
