    Replacement of lead screw on Atlas 618 Lathe with 1/4-20 acme

    If I got some of the 3/8-20 acme and was able to change the split nut to match, would the gear ratios be the same on the threading table as using the original 1/2-20 lead screw? If I’m asking the right question properly. I would graft the old lead screw with the new section of acme so the...

    Mini 7" Horizontal Shaper Advice Needed

    Kuhlmann GM1-2 Pantagragh

    I just brought home a Kuhlmann GM1-2 Pantagragh. I haven’t had a chance to take it off the trailer yet. It didn’t come with a manual. Does anyone here have the same pantagragh mill or have a manual. I bought it to do 2D duplicating and engraving. The previous owner is a great guy but he didn’t...
