Welcome Luker. A very nice looking & running engine.

Thats a bummer. Do you have a manual for the mill ? If so the parts list might show if the part is removable.

What mill is it ? Hopefully repairable.

Good luck, regards

On this forum we do not pick up people for spelling or grammar mistakes. We leave that to the pedants in other forums.

I think an Irish gentleman by the name of Murphy has something to do with it Howard.

Thaks for the link Gray. I had a quick look but will need to study it further when I get a spare half hour.

Simple but effective Nicholas. I keep mine on a shelf attached to the splash back at the minute.

The 3D printed hangers are a great idea. I believe there are a lot of designs on Thingiverse that can be downloaded for the 3D printer. A 3D printer would be handy but do I really want to get into another tech stream at my age?

I need to find someone with a good 3D printer locally and have some made.

I must agree. I very rarely look at "which one" or "did I do ok buying this" threads.

I am still of the opinion that there should be sticky posts that lay out the "what to look for", "Imperial v Metric" & "Chinese v Others" that new members can browse through and get some ideas before starting a post for advise. If they do ask a question they can be directed to that post before members have to go into a long drawn out post giving the same advise they gave to 2 others last week.

Thanks for that Gray. I need to dig out my MEM pw & see if I can find the article.

I would not use a like button. The more likes people get the more inflated their ego gets.

No problems are insurmountable Tom. A phase converter and a hole in the floor come to mind.

In the absence of wavy parallels a piece of foam rubber makes a good substitute for that purpose.

regards

Hi Clay. Wavy parallels are very handy for use with thin work pieces as they will deform within reason to the width needed.

I would be very interested in the drawings for the SB/Boxford AUD clutch. Are they available any where ?

Condolences to John's family. It is always a major blow to a community when one of it's pioneers and most knowledgable members passes. It is good that many of his skills have been saved in his books.

If you are mearuring the runout on the chuck body it means nothing. The runout needs to be checked with a dowel pin or similar in the chuck. You dont say how the chuck is mounted.

What does "Due to the unauthorised procurement of our items " mean ???

Had my jab Thursday at local doctors surgery. Had to stand outside in a queue for 15 minutes before I got in though. Not told to wait for 15 mins afterwards so all good. Now waiting for 2nd jab appointment.
