    For those that are wondering The Sako extractor did not reliably pull a PPC set up as a standard 308 bolt face. As you all know the difference in bolt face diameter between a 308 and PPC is about .032". I decided I needed to lower the Sako extractor into the bolt face by .016". I...

    mounting lathe motor on the floor?!

    Jonathan, That is exactly what my old buddy Homer Strickland did to his 13" MSC (aka 'Prince') lathe. He removed the motor mount from the base and re-engineered it to be bolted directly to the concrete which totally isolated the lathe from any motor harmonics. It worked like a charm. He took...
