The way my buddy makes these is place a half inch slug of carbide in the Sneeburger 5 axis CNC grinder. It will take a while. When I ran Homag CNC routers, we used 1/4 inch shank upcuts. If your breaking cutters, it’s either a jerky movement of the router or you feeds and speeds are off. If the...

I have heard good things about Harrison. But they tend to pro level machines…. In other words heavy. I would not hesitate to jump on a Harrison.

Grizzly Machinery got their start rebuilding sour bends. They ultimately bought all the rights designs and parts. They have the card catalog containing every single SB made. If it’s a 9 in you can get the rebuild book off eBay.

Wow you learn something every day. I recall seeing the term gum turpentine but it register in my brain. I would like to get some gum turp to see how it works. we are having issues now with solvents. Environmental issues with voc release. I never thought turp would be on this list. I actually...

All these posts are accurate. Been looking for a Myford for a while but they are all turning into gold. In the English line up I like Myford ML7 then Boxford then colchester. Colchester is simply a bad *** lathe. Tooling has become a real problem. Prices are crazy right now. Four jaw chucks...

Interesting. I haven’t looked at mine in a while but if you think about it, the clapper needs to release on the up stroke. Engage on the down stroke. Tooling is the issue. E head tooling is a bit sparse so you have to make your own. I have not seen many if any E heads that didn’t have the...

This is crazy and interesting. My experience here is with ponderosa beetle kill. The dap picks up the blue stain and the heartwood doesn’t. Previous poster mention the xylem. That moves juice up and down. Or is that the cambium. Any way trees store food in the sap wood. They move it...

That is just gross! I was thinking it might be one of my ex girlfriend’s toys. The industrial look suits her like a glove!

Ohhhh Boyyy! Apple! A wonderful rich wood to work with. I would try to get a couple of plane blanks out of it.

I am a sucker for pretty pictures. I am on this one to.

Looking Good! I am going to check on this one. I have the engineering books on timber framing as I was trained as an engineer and can sign off on timber frames but have not done anything since I got involved with now soon to be ex girlfriend. I am looking forward to spending some good quality...

There are a lot of suggestions so I will check these out. Never know when you find something with good text and pretty pictures. I got Pekowhiches last book from fine woodworking. Not that I would learn much new but the book layout, photography and overall book are really nice. That said, Ted...

Wood turpentine. Turpentine is named after a chemical in trees called turpins. Green evergreens have the most in their needles. When trees die, the turpins dissipate. But green evergreens also have a lot of moisture. In forest fires, green trees are harder to ignite but when they do, the...

Nope! I am in a battle with my ex girlfriend. The bimbo used title theft and common law so I am feeding lawyers and just about earning my law degree. The same bimbo burned 5000 dollars with of CITES pre ban timber collected over thirty years. If a woman does not respect your shop and shop...

What I miss is cutting the tenderloin out of a North American ELK, rubbing it up with salt, pepper and garlic and butter and roasting it on a stick over a fire. The smell is like nothing you can describe. The flavor ….. OHHH the flavor!!!!!!

I love my two wood burners. One made in the 1860s. Does wonders to hide screw ups. But! I am in a fight for my life with an ex girlfriend who stole my house. (Title Theft). I think I would be better off if I strap on a pair of watermelons, a Victoria screcrets bra and a blonde wig! I filed a...

There is a lot stuff I disagree with. There is a lot stuff I said that others disagree with. There is lots we all agree with. At the end of the day any forum whether this one, a soap box in Piccadilly square or your own House of Commons is a venue for dynamic opinion. That is a good thing...

I would check out what Tony says on lathes.co.uk. The ML7 is a classic in a good way. It has features that make it rather useful in model engineering. The slotted extended saddle make milling jobs possible. Hemingway carry’s kit upgrades. The drive system is basic but works like a champ. You...

Personally I would return it and get another one by a different maker. This is the first issue…. What Other Issues are lurking in the bowels of this thing?

You didn’t tell us about the table sort of. The tables are either ground or planed. If the table is planed, it will have distinct stripes running in the direction of wood flow. These are the best and really deal with stiction. If the table has no marks but a satin finish, these are ground using...
