    What to use to seal oil site glasses?

    What do you guys use to get a good seal with oil, like a site glass? The glass is cemented in a disk of metal, which then is fixed to the machine with three screws .... leaks are between the machine and the disk. It's about impossible to get both parts clean and oil free (the machine cavity...

    Congrats to Team 2852 on their Silver Medal win!

    We have been a proud lead sponsor of this high school robotics team for many years now and they were silver medalists at last weekend's season opener. If you start feeling grumpy along the lines of "kids these days", you have to get to a robotics competition. They are different every year; the...

    My YouTube Channel is Back UP!!

    Yippy. Even more boring videos to come!! Terminated last last June, it has now been restored. Repetitive inquiries yielded "our decision is final" "there is nothing we can do", "the decision was carefully and thoughtfully made", somehow through the fog I reached someone. And they...

    Machine New Headstock Bearings - Dealing with Precision Taper Mount Bearing Installation

    ... or why I love the old quality stuff. Less than a micron run out achieved. Still have not got my youtube back.

    If you are thinking of upgrading ..... a DSG type 13

    I've got a type 13 x 42 but this has box ways which I've not seen before and is a 13 x 50. Wonder when they switched? Anyway, they are an amazing lathe. Super heaving duty and tons of features. My 13x42 is 7.5 hp and weights 5100 lbs. Cuts inch, metric, module and diametrical pitches, multi...

    Tool Mcgyver's drill sharpener

    All the discussion on the Vevor sharpener prompted me to dust off some digital photos and give a description of mine. The Vevor for a few hundred dollars is a heck of a lot easier than making this, and if the quality and results are good it may be the best solution. What this one offers is...

    Chevelair benchtop Tool and Cutter Grinder TO, $1200

    Vendor calls it a Heinman, but they are just the distributor. I've got one and they are a great little grinder, better than the Cuttermaster they are patterned after (better because of the column). Made in Taiwan and very smooth running. Given it comes with the air bearing, radius attachment...
