Yes...... please tell.

An hour !!!! Took me two fricking hours just to get my jaws aligned back correctly on the damn scroll, lol. Now that I added power feed I notice mine isn't as smooth as it should be and was wondering if the delrin gib would help any. I'm having a hell of a time getting mine adjusted where it...

FIXED !!!!! Thank you..... thank you..... thank you Todd Schultz, you are fricking awesome !!! Lee Casto

Dave and Busbee........ May I ask which controller you guys used ?? Did you have to do anything special to wire them up and make them work. Having no tattoos and never seen a tattoo gun in person, I have no clue as to how they work. I have 2 places for plugs on the front panel. A foot switch...

That's pretty neat Eric, brings back old memories of playing with my old train as a kid,LOL. Might have to look into that if I can't get this tattoo power supply to work.

Dave..... not sure of the problem. It powers on but I have no power output to my motor. I KNOW for certain my motor is good and my wiring is correct. I can hook it to a known good power source and it works fine. Left...stop...right... just as it should. Hook it back up to tattoo power supply...

What are most using for a power supply for the powerfeed on your Taig lathes ?? I want something that has variable speed so I can control the speed on the motor and not just one speed. I saw a few used digital tattoo power supply but I've tried that and having zero luck with that. I think I may...

Personally I think the best thing to get the clear off is sandpaper. Lee Casto

I found a place to buy 3/8-10 taps for under $12 bucks a piece. The only problem being is they are only about 3" long and too short in length for what we use them for.

Looking to buy 2 standard Taig risers and 3 wide Taig risers if anyone has any extras laying around not being used. I KNOW I can buy them from Todd and/or Chris but being unemployed I am looking to save every penny I can so I was hoping someone had a few used ones they might sell for cheaper...

Contact Todd Schultz at Mid America lathes, forum member name is tsp&b. He can hook you up with an entry level lathe for doing tips and repairs for probably less than what a Shaftmaster cost.

That's what I kinda thought. I wish someone would post up some detailed pics of how that mod is done. Many people have that mod but nobody will ever post any detailed pics of how to do it... Lee Casto

What do you mean by the "screw" style tailstock ?? Any pics ??

I know this thread is older but I was bored and found this searching around the forum.... yall should be proud of me just for using the search function :D http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=117059&highlight=powerfeed

Also if you have a large bore headstock there is no "wrench" to use as there is no nut behind the chuck like the std. bore headstock. You HAVE to use a strap wrench. Lee Casto

Jayman...... I did the same exact thing. I wanted to always have a cue with me, so I bought a cheap Dale Perry off of ebay about 5 years ago. I live in Georgia where it easily gets 130-140 in the trunk of a car in the summer and sometimes down below freezing in the winter (not much below and not...

They come in VERY handy if you ever have to pull your 3 or 4 jaw chuck off your headstock........:)

Thanks KJ. Actually, this cue has been sitting around for well over a year and all I did was pull the connecting pin out after cutting the forearm off (what was left of it). So I got REALLY bored last night while the wife was at work and after kido went to bed. So I decided to strip the finish...

LOL. Nope but I did say I was open to all suggestions didn't I. This is just for fun and the experience while I'm unemployed sitting around bored. It's too short for a tomato stake anyways.... gotta add a forearm to it so it's tall enough. :) Lee Casto
