My rocking lever is tapped 5/16" x 32 TPI as per DHC's book.

Can you elaborate?

The leather on my mill came from my father's briefcase!

Sadly, no - just a lover of the big sky county.

In North Norfolk, UK, the Hopper is the bus service that runs along the coast.

The width of the wheels will be governed by the blade width but there is a potential complication: the crown will normally cause the band to ride in the middle of the tire but there is a school of thought which holds that the teeth should project.

My vintage 6" x 4" bandsaw wheels have a flange at the back and the blade rides directly on the flat cast iron wheels.

Chef de cuisine - et chef de gare?

My Vertex tapping chuck in operation:

I find it very useful.

That is the one I had in mind; I wonder why the idea never caught on.

The lathe allowed a bowl to "embrace" the spindle nose end of the motor.

I think that a woodworking lathe has been made this way.

And for the same reason you need a long spanner to remove either pedal which will have self-tightened in use.

If you make your own bandsaw wheels it may be important to balance them.

I use the Evolution Rage saw blade for thin metals in both my portable circular and radial arm saws; in either case, the saw is mechanically guided but advanced, with great care, by hand; this is made possible by the chip-limiting form of the teeth.

Is it possible, please, to correct the thread title so that it can more easily be found in future?

Is that the third or the first reichenwagen?

That lack of lube may have been due to the use of grease rather than oil.

ChatGPT seems like a potentially useful tool.

I looked in vain on Wikipedia for the Cheltenham classification for library books but ChatGPT came up with an informative. albeit bland, "lecturette".

As I said, the "rough edge" meaning is old. OED gives various examples of its use accessed free, in my case, via my membership of the local library - worth a look if you can do the same or have your own subscription.

I think the OP meant it rather than "them".

TH is entertaining and informative.

OED has the old meaning of "A rough edge or ridge left on nails, cast bullets, etc. "

The front bar, presumably of steel, slides in the base so that aluminium may not be ideal.

Yes, it reminded me of an episode of Dad's Army when the platoon get in the harvest.
