I like vipers venom for threrads and chambers. I have noticed however that this oil mists all over the place when hit with the air hose. The Vipers venom is the worst compared to any other oil i have ever used. I know this oil, or any other oil for that matter, cant be good to breath. i no...

I am going to use 1/2" jacking bolts with 3/8" ball bearings. what i plan on doing is drilling a hole in the center of the bolt and inserting a 1/16"x 1/2" long earth magnet into the front of the bolt. this little magnet should be just strong enough to hold onto the ball bearing while i place...

Good shooting Mr Greg King!!! Travel safe!! Lee

I can use 72" belts with my unit, but im polishing on the top side of the unit. The dust spins right into my face. With the double wheel attachment the barrels spin just above my belt line. Much better positioning. what type of belt do you all prefer? Do you simply use aluminum oxide, or...

I bought a china special, belt grinder/polisher/sander on line a few weeks back. This unit takes 2"x82" belts. 2"x72" belts are a lot more common for this type of sander, so i am having a hard time finding the belts i need. I want belts with 320, 400, 600, 800, 1000, and 1500 grit but the...

justin your emco lathe is really similar to my new production South bend heavy 10 actually other than The SB having a built in VFD i think they are the same. Great machines. I absolutely love mine!!

Justin I do! LOL I love the dam things, what can i say.. Actually my prized little south bend Heavy 10 " new production model" is no longer being made. I guess the company that was making this machine, didnt like or couldnt make any money with Shiraz quality demands. Such a great little...

Inside diameter will be 2'' i am thinking. Not any bigger than 2 i dont think. I am going to make a cat head like Alex wheeler shows in his on line videos. He used small v blocks with 3/8 ball bearings to hold his barrels in place. Hard to explain. I can see where this method would be...

I bought another lathe, and im gonna be making a heavy duty front cat head. I am looking for a piece of 6" diameter solid steel rod. I only need it to be 6" long and i cant find anything i can afford. I have found a few pieces, but my god they want a weeks pay for the dam thing. Anything from...

why so fast?? interesting..

2" spindle bore is ideal!! My big grizzly has a 2" hole and it allows me to chamber rail gun barrels easily. Lee

A Tig welder for my gunsmithing in reality would be a very rare occasion . Building fluid tanks and repairing some equipment on our farm would be more the norm. My father is in the process of building a 41 willies coup, and i think we are gonna find a machine that will work for us both...

Thanks men. I think I'm going to look into a course at the junior college here in town. When I venture into something new I like to succeed. If I go with a lincoln or Miller it's gonna cost a couple grand to get started. I want to be prepared. I keep reading some excellent reviews on a Hobart...

Im thinking about buying a new or used tig welder. I haven't ever tiged before so this will be a nerw learning experience for me. Im always up for something new to learn. Perhaps if i find myself capable i can tig weld some bolt handles anyone have any recommendations on a particular...
