    grizzly 4003G VS PM 1236??

    Almost all modern lathes, Grizzlys included, have a sacraficial synthetic gear somewhere on the outboard drive set to prevent excessive crash damage. Get an extra sacraficial gear if you think you will be prone to crash damage...............Ive had a spare for 20 years, never used..............Don

    Need help finding moderately priced rifle for beginner

    If you are strictly target shooting for accuracy and punching paper, then take Lynns advice and get the 6BR, it is the best most economical choice. If you might also use the rifle for hunting as well as target shooting then the 260 Rem would be fine, as it is an excellent and accurate...

    Tail Stock Too High?

    If really bothersome or critical to a particular machining job (most high tailstocks are not), an easy fix is an adjustable center, several manufactures provide them and there have been some examples in the past of members making their own, see the following example (first I came across in a...

    Ugly threads

    Check your compound lash adjustment screw, sounds like it might not be tight and/or missing, not allowing your compound to reposition itself repeatably when transversing in and out. Also, you have not mentioned anything about "thread infeed pass rate", a very important concept and requirement...

    Brake/choke fix?

    . It appears that this one was also soldered but with a large space between the boss i.d. and barrel o.d., in order to allow a gap for the solder to fill, unfortunately this large gap prevented a tight fit centering of the boss to the bore centerline, and subsequent part fits are also off...

    Two questions

    1. Any carbon remover, I like to use "Never dull". 2. "Brake Cleaner" use in BR is generally for de-greasing, any application for the removal of oil, grease, or solvents without leaving a noticable residue, most common use is probably to clean bronze cleaning brushes of solvents so that they...

    Charles you are correct about the "cast" part and the tubing material, I some how missed that on my first read thru, thanks for the correction........Don

    Alumium, As a dear departed friend use to say, Stocks:

    Because they are ugly, I know, because that is all I shot. But, they have their advantages; -light weight to stiffness ratio, my sporter/lv's weighed a total of 15 oz. with 6 verticle stiffeners. -absolute straight tracking capabilities because the tubular members were straight dimensioned...

    Possible Dangerous Cartridges, Caution!

    Something is not right about this. Check the cartridge again. Generally speaking, primer detonation alone will not cause blowback thru gas ports and chipped extractor. First, weigh the entire cartridge and compare the weight to a known good round of similiar bullet/powder loading. If there is...

    For the want of a Nail:

    Ive seen "o" ring installations to steel and brass rods, "shrink wrap" to synthetic rods, bore diameter, to prevent rod and jag contact.........solution to a non-existent problem if proper rod usage is followed, I believe. These "fixes" also make it more difficult to use rods and rod guides...

    boring bar usage question

    inward Sounds good in theory but in actual practice I find myself starting all boring cuts from the outside and boring inward, mainly so that I can see everything that is happening, confirm cut depth, feed direction, feed rate, etc.............stop boring if anything does not look...

    Another column B question

    . Hi Charles, I may be assuming too much here, or we are using different terminology..................my assumption was that you were referring to a .3080" diameter gun barrel bore therefore the freebore could not "squeeze" a bullet down to .3075" diameter because a reamer with a .3075"...
