How about this one? hightower inlay machine

Taper Machine Are you talking something like your breeze with a longer travel or a stand alone taper machine? As a beginner, I'd be interested in the prior when I reach the inlay stage. Scott

I've got one Hadn't planned to list it for sale until I got a chance to bring it up to Jeff and have him clean it up but oh well. Overall Forearm Butt 19.5 ounces. 13mm tip. $650 Thanks, Scott

my setup Not sure what kind of lathe you are using but here's my crude setup. It still needs refinement and isn't fancy but works fairly well. I tried fancier things but this works better so far. I like the hose moving the the carriage. If you're thinking about long term effects on your...

some options I'm no expert but I'd get this: Enco: 619-1391 or turn the router the other way and use this: McMaster.com:3073A62 or LeeValley.com:44J20.03 or LeeValley.com:16J49.01 Hopefully this helps. Scott

WillieCue, I noticed the same thing. Looks like he cuts toward the tail stock. In case of failure, is one direction better than the other? I imagine neither way would be good... Thanks, Scott

MacGuy, I wondered if thats what people were doing but I wasn't too confident I could be sure the switch would be thrown every single time. I have to admit, after seeing your pictures, it does look like you can be sure it will flip. I think your pictures have given me the confidence to get out...

closed spring arm switch Chris, I'm not quite sure what a closed spring arm switch is but I do think I'll end up using a 2-pole contactor/relay as I'm wanting to shut down a 220V metal lathe. Guess I did know what I was doing when I bought two to build a remote control for my 220V cyclone...

I did a search and didn't find any posts about it. I'm curious if anyone cares to post the switch they've created to automatically turn the lathe off once the carriage has traveled the full distance. I'm getting sick of watching the lathe cut and I'm afraid I'll forget as I'm getting bored...

micro 100 mills I assume you are talking about the TM-375. Are you using it with a bore diameter of .292 or larger and not milling more than 1.5-1.75 inches in depth? The math I've done says that you'd need the cutter head diameter ground down to do the above and the shank undercut to cut in a...

minor diameter Most of the 3/8-10 pins I've measured have a minor diameter between .234 and .240 thats why I was thinking of going with a minimum bore diameter of .250. I didn't want to go too small as I don't know how small I can go with a 2" neck and expect stability. Thanks, Scott

I haven't done this yet and need to pick up a tool for doing it. I'd like to get the tightest fit possible to the 3/8-10 pin. Here's what I've come up with. I figure this will cut in a minimum bore size of .250 and should have enough tooth to get all the thread cut. 2 inches of depth so a 3 inch...

Sears Live Center Dick, That's exactly what I was hoping for. Does Sears sell a straight shank live center or have you somehow adapted a MT center to fit the boring bar? Thanks Again, Scott

I'm fairly new to cue building and looking for a fairly cheap way to offset my tailstock. I have a 1950 something Clausing lathe and using the two bolts to do it just isn't going to be feasible. Best option I've found thus far is to use these parts: 3" Enco 22-1530 $57.95 #3 MT Enco Boring...

Positive Feedback I bought Ernie's i3. Just wanted it noted for any possible future transactions that I am very happy. I paid up front and it came very quickly and packaged very well. Thanks Ernie, Scott
