these will be lighted. but they are going to use a gray stain on the wood so it wont contrast well. I was worried about wood movement too. so I...

I really need to get this machine out of my friend's garage. I will accept any reasonable offer. Send text, or call.

Great! As to your comment about the sander, you can easily get your indexer to spin by just doing a MB 36000 to get it to spin 100 times, then MB...

Check e-bay: dragon 3-d relief, etc.

Here is a picture of the pendant

Well i have completed my first indexer project - to build a stand to hold the Paschal Candle for my church. They changed from the spiral designed to...

Steve, Nice looking sign. Push through letters are good looking with light behind them. My only concern is moisture that will set around the...

Thanks Brian.

A "Fine thread tap" is much easier to use for tapping such a shallow hole... I think I have thrown my 1/4 20 away....

Chuck, The M5 x 0.8 is pretty typical in metric stuff -- it is also just about a perfect match to a 10-32 (good thing to remember when you're in...

Thank you Brian for looking into this. Maybe this sound dumb,,,,,,, while I am no machinist, I do have a couple of complete sets of English and...

Those look to be M5 set screws -- 0.96" is a little under 2.5mm -- and a 2.5mm allen key should fit an M5 -- snapping a measurement from the photo...

Sounds like your implying that SB's supplier has changed, or altered quality of pinions... Are we all expected to go through an hour of re-machining...

And... don't waste your money on some no name brand tap. Most likely, it will crack within two turns in steel. Get a Hanson tap. They seem to hold up...

Get yourself a thread gauge too if you don't already have one in your tap and die kit. Don't expect most big box stores to have taps in stock... that...

Thank you for the handy chart Curtiss. I'll go out tomorrow and buy a tap, as I don't have the right size in my limited stock. Thanks, Chuck

this chart might be handy ... perhaps 1/4 - 28 ??

Thank you Brady. I'll match the thread of my old set screws. I do have a good floor standing drill press and a machinist's vise. (Someone gave me...

Need to either edit the post processor of vcarve, or choose a different one. The spindle off command must not be in the one you are using. Look...

No problem...Just hope that problem with responses disappearing into the ether like a couple times in the past hasn't come back! I had additional...

I just cut out about 20 sheets of plywood for cabinet parts using ecabinets and the spindle shutoff each time like it should. Used vcarve and it...

Yes...Just do it. Machine yourself a jig that will hold each pinion in a cradle square to the drill press quill. If you don't have a drill press,...

Thanks,,,,,,,,, I guess the more properly focused question which I should have asked is: With some basic experience in tapping non-hardened steel,...
