I was asked to liquidate a pair of vacuum pumps. Are these worth $500 for the pair to anyone before I throw them up on Ebay?

I bought a couple collets and nuts, No-Names from Ebay. Ruined two good bits. If you get them there make sure to use a name brand. The extra $40 would have saved me $120 worth of bits. (and the...

No clue at all on the preview. I am a newbie that just fumbles through as best I can. In fact when people say "feed and speeds" I can understand what they mean but no idea on making them. The machine...

It is just pine but was interesting to do. The legs...

Carving time is hard to determine exactly. I ran the first carve with a 1/4" ball nose and it ran from Wednesday afternoon to Thursday evening. I wasn't happy with it so ran it again with a 1/16"...

So I purchased another motor controller and installed it. However, When I tried to reset and start I do not get power to the spindle at all and the machine does not start. I checked the fuse and...

I have a PRT with ASD30E-R-B1 controller and ASM911AA motor. I tried to zero (C3) this morning and the X axis had a slight hum but didn't move. The program said successful zero.

I don't think I am ready to run 1 full .5 deep cut. Call me timid but I really hate the screeching sound when I cut too deep. (For my ears that is.) The attached is a similar drawer for my Vidmar...

Technics collets are way too cheap on Ebay to risk a bit in the face. Toss the one you have and buy some new ones. NEVER, EVER use an insert or a collet that has slipped even once!

I am finishing up a cut in MDF that includes about 300 smallish pockets with a 1/4" ballnose. (The coated one from Beckwith) It is basically taking two full 12 hour days to complete. I like the small...

I have seen some great ideas in ShopNotes magazines. One uses pegboard with spacer blocks. Another uses the square holed flouresent light covers.

Personally I have the one that came with the...

That is what I want but not out of foam. We had the ones made from foam at work when converting to the "5S" process. They didn't last four months before the foam was torn up.

What you show there is exactly what I want to do for my tools!
I suppose it will end up a time sink but we'll see how it turns out.:)

I have one of the plastic Craftsman tool kits that hold multiple sockets, wrenches, and screwdrivers that has become worn to the point that it doesn't hold the tools well. (If I pick it up and carry...
