I was following along with @TonyK AAMCO Shaper rebuild knowing I might have a chance to get one too. @gerritv was aware I was looking and generously put me in contact with a seller in Sarnia with an AAMCO 7"quite similar to Tony's. I visited on Thursday and agreed to purchase it. Well, they...

I don't think we can call this a bug because I don't think it is a zenforo issue. However it is an issue that users need to be aware of. When I am logged on, I expect that my logon status would show that I am on-line. When I am logged off, I expect to be shown as logged off. These generally...

Am I the only one who noticed @JustaDB seems to be MIA here? Must have a new toy, or the whipping was closer to home than he wanted us to know about........ Or both!

Seems a repeat problem for me is properly identifying an odd thread. Is it metric or imperial? Thread gauge can be difficult to use. Custom threads make everything difficult. My standard process, is to make an educated guess, then use thread checkers and fastener gauges. But if that doesn't...

The Teco L510 on my Mill just went crazy. Prolly my fault. I was recording my settings in preparation for swapping the VFD to my lathe (it's a 3hp VFD, and I have a 2hp VFD for the 2hp mill - long story) and was going through all the settings with no problem till I got to 00-21 in the basic...

On my ToDo list all most forever is a power X and Power Z for my mill. Both are 5/8 shafts. The Z has a castle drive and the X is key drive. I'd like to keep both manual drive handles as well as the adjustable zero dial. Vevor has a few that look promising to me. Power Z $180 450 in lbs 37.5ft...

My Royal Versa-turn precision (half a tenth) live center has a brinelled bearing in it so I need to take it and Rep ace the bearings. Here is a blowup I saw on Royal's Website. I'm thinking I'll drill a hole through the shank so I have something to pull it apart with.
