    Mysore 1330 lathe, govdeals auction, Kingston, ON

    I recently watched a youtube video where they cast lathe beds in India or Pakistan. After cutting the v-ways on a planer they then proceeded to use an angle grinder to “polish” them up. Perhaps they are very skilled with the grinder.

    Looking for a machinist to make Bronze Hardware for my Banjo build project.

    Interesting project. Where are you located? There is an art foundry in Cochrane Ab that does bronze castings. Perhaps they or another art foundry could assist you.

    Tool Lathe files

    Modular collet rack

    It looks like you could slice about 1/4” out of it near the bottom to reduce print times.

    Modular collet rack

    Fresh off the printer, ER32. As printed they would actually lock together, likely wouldn’t come apart without destroying them though.

    There is a photo from slightly different angle on the website. The rear wheel is single wide cylinder that appears to run on a cylindrical track. The spokes are fixed and don’t turn. Even the engine is enclosed within the rear wheel!

    @trlvn I’m not using HomeKit. I do use Google home but my plugs are not compatible with it so I am using a dedicated app to control and set schedules. The schedule continues to work even with my iPad powered down. I assumed schedules were stored internally, I’m not so sure anymore as they do...

    Nope. I have an app that allows schedules to be set. But with the app closed everything continues to work. I’m now wondering where the schedule is stored, what happens with loss of power etc .
