    I also work with both units and this lathe is a bit on the strange side, it reports measurements in metric but has parts made to imperial standards, my metric tools don't fit quite so snug where as the imperial ones do.

    Making My Bed After a few weeks I got the all major parts removed from the lathe and got it stripped back to the bed, the paint isn't in really bad condition it was just CAKED in grease(which I consider the enemy) I then got the head stock bull bear removed and packaged up for sending off to...

    Le Chuck Now on to the chuck, the 3 Jaw that I got with this machine has seen better days. Its jaws were all stuck and one of the cam lock pins is bent. Never a dull moment with old machine tools, I guess that's why we love em. The problem All 3 jaws are in the wrong slots and somehow by some...

    The teardown complete I spent a few weeks on and off the machine learning how to take it apart, first was the easy stuff. Took off the feed gear that was missing a share pin, after this moment i was unstoppable, pulling the board off the headstock (which I will be keeping on, never liked it...

    I was looking into them a while the Myfords and yeah I think they are ML7s but not sure specifically which ones, one was dropped and the gearbox broke off of the machine sadly(if you look at the last picture you notice that the cover is lean on the machine) but they say they are going to try to...

    Meeting Admirable Nelson Earlier this year I got a call from a friend that a machine shop was going out of business and they have some equipment for sale. I went there honestly with no expectations of finding anything since most shops have machines that are larger than what a home user needs...

    Fusion 3D has infiltrated my world

    it is one of the best and most annoying features in fusion. It allows you to edit any feature/operation that it has stored on it, for eg if you created a hole at about 1/2" deep and then decided that actually 3/4" deep would have been better then you can double click the hole operation on the...

    Fusion 3D has infiltrated my world

    alternately you can create the one hole then use the array command on the hole instead of the points, this gives added flexibility when you have the timeline enabled where you can just go in and create more holes easily

    Fusion 3D has infiltrated my world

    I use fusion360 every day as part of my day job, why do you need to copy a hole? If I may make a suggestion you could create points in the sketches, array them using circular or rectangular array if needed, then make holes from those.
