My retired aircraft restorer friend has forwarded this information to a current restorer at the museum, but he says unless they need one now, they will probably not be interested. That being said, once a Smithsonian airplane guy finds out that there's an old piece of history out there, he's...

I have a friend who used to be an aircraft restorer at the USA's Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. I'll drop him a line to see if knows anyone.

Do whatever you did on that upper right weld. Just keep trying and messing with speeds and voltages. Also understand that the thickness of whatever you're welding will require that you fiddle with those speeds and Volts again. You'll get it, just keep practicing.

Done! I tacked it onto the end our your thread, and may I say that your thread there is the finest thread of its kind ever written and thanks to ALL who replied in it. This kinda thing is what the internet was made for. P. S. Somewhere in the thread is a parts explosion, and that seems to be...

Hello to all, I just bought a used S45 to replace a 40 year-old 14" Delta that threw itself to its death in my driveway when one of its casters hit something as I was pushing it around in my driveway. Several things got bent and its trunnion casting broke so it was either rebuild a saw I never...

Well, it did now Pastor! BTW, thank you and Deema for the rebuild posts about the Mini Max S45 bandsaw. I just snagged one from the local hardwood shop and it helped greatly although mine seems to be a simpler machine. There is no rack gear affair for adjusting the vertical throat as with...

I know this is a late reply, but try this... Go to https://carbide3d.com/carbidecreate/ and wait for a window to pop up asking for your email address in exchange for Carbide 3D's crash course on CNC. They want to sell you one of their machines (which I have), but it's a general course. Those...

I am an old robotics guy, and can perform surgery if your expectations are low, really low. The AutoDoc moniker came about as I was an industrial automation guy who used to carry my tools in an old doctor's bag.

Hello, I'm Doc Williams from Delaware, USA. Thanks for letting a Yank into the fold. I'm a 69 year-old retired controls engineer that piddles around in a two car workshop building anything that comes to mind or is commissioned. Along with all the normal machines you'd find in a shop is a...
