Hi Mike, The axis when you are stood at the operators position at the front are; X Side to side Y Front to back Z Up and down Gerry W Leeds UK To: 7x12minilathe@... From:

I have not heard of a arduino board. Would you care to elaborate on that a bit? Dick

Hi Dick, I am not quite sure what the Z axis is and I note that other people are also confused judging by some of your replies. However, I have added a digital readout to the long axis of my lathe

IMHO Lindsay books are a hit or miss proposition.. I ordered 6 books before they closed down around Christmas and 3 of the books are already in my "Sell on eBay" pile.. The South Bend book, which I

I think ,now after looking at the schematic again, that it is best to get as close as possible to the original value,,that is 4 times 0.1 ohm parallel = 0.025 ohm ,as said from others. there is a CL

Hi Mike, your post correcting the earlier one arrived just in time. Cutting oil on cast iron makes a pretty effective grinding paste, not something you want near your lathe! Gerry W Leeds UK To:

I am replying to my own post, as I made a mistake in the original reply.I use nothing on cast iron, I use cutting oil on steel, never on cast iron. mike

On aluminum I have used WD-40 with success. Steel and cast iron I use dark cutting oil the plumbers use for tapping. Usually nothing on brass or bronze, though I have used cutting oil on bronze if I

There was a discussion about June of last year about using a digital caliper (from HF?) as a DRO on a lathe -- but it was in the Atlas-Craftsman Yahoo group. Visit that group and search for "DRO

On my mill more than the lathe I use a small plastic bottle with plastic tip filled with soluble lube solution. I clean up the mill with WD-40 (I got an official WD-40 pump bottle free once when

I use Tap Magic on steel, but only when “necessary”. That’s mainly when parting off, but also tapping, of course. WD-40 is my lube of choice for aluminum. Both are kept and dispensed from small,

I agree , either use a 0.022 or 4 in parallel . If you look at the schematic, you will see that all curent drawn is going through this resistor, and an opamp are then measuring on the current .. The

or cut the brass bits off the old resistor and solder on the new ones. -- Jerry Durand, Durand Interstellar, Inc. www.interstellar.com tel: +1 408 356-3886, USA toll free: 1 866 356-3886 Skype:

Someone at projectsinmetal.com is working on a similar project using an arduino board and a tablet for a display. Grizzly sells a couple of different types of scales. One may even work for you out of

Do not use coolant/lube on cast iron or brass/gunmetal. ?Coolant is normally used on steel. For normal hobby type work, if you must use a coolant/lube then soluble oil is quite adequate when used

I am strongly considering a Z axis digital linear scale for my 7 x 16 lathe. I am thinking I might want to mount it onto the rear side of the bed below the saddle gibs. The scale would have a remote

Excuse me if this question has already been asked but I am curious as to what you recommend to keep cutting tools cool. Do you recommend a pump to flood the tool and material being machined, a mist
