  • Thank you for all of your videos. You often speak of buying a used machine. Would you please put together a video on how to judge a used machine to know if it is worth anything? What do you check? How do you check it?

  • @ctjctj2 THANKS--already have videos on buying a lathe. Do a search on----MACHINE SHOP TIPS #52 Buying a Lathe Pt 1 of 3 tubalcain

  • Congratulations on the feature in the YouTube blog!

  • @tjw1963  I'm unaware of this. Can you send me a link--I cannot find the feature.

  • @hoofie2002 Perhaps you could tell us why you accuse him of plagiarism, when his use of the name Tubal-Cain is in reference to the man who invented metal working in the bible (Gensis 4:22), probably just as Tom Walshaw did. Mrpete has previously mentioned this. Don't knock how one uses a nickname or alias. Blatant ignorance.

  • Mr Pete is the granpa i never had :,-(

  • Maybe someone's already said this... I do this just about every day in my work, I just use an edge finder on the solid jaw and a stop on one end of the vise, so X & Y 0 is in the corner, then come off the solid jaw half the diameter of the part and however far off the end. Also using a single parallel to hold the part near the top of the jaws, sliding it to one side to clear the bit. Nice jigs for beginners or use in the drill press though.

  • Kubalcain, I keep trying to convince my wife that the Bridgeport in the Drive in the back of my 25 year old pickup has more class than any new car would.......one day I will figure out how to get it out of the truck, but for now, it is my 'MOBIL' milling machine, along with the Clausing 14" on the trailer next to it......

  • One of my first projects as an engineer, I designed a jig to assist an artisan to do a task. My supervisor was quick to correct me. It was a fixture! I was not allowed to use the term jig, because, in my supervisor's own words, "the word had racial connotations." I complied, but, the lesson he taught me was one I've shared and laughed with others about for many years since.

  • my grandads just like you he used yo work in the rowntrees chocolate factore repairing the machind by making the parts :)
