Jim, I have two friends that have had knee replacements in the last six months. Both of them have said that it was not as big a deal as they were expecting, you just have to faithfully do the...

My Logan mill uses R8 collets. That, and every Bridgeport I have ever run (dozens of them) that used R8 collets required a tap on the drawbar to break the collet free.

Thanks for the info Dave. That knee has a prior history of torn ligaments when I crashed a minibike on a gravel road as a kid. I’m probably looking at a knee replacement at some point, but it will...

I was almost a Vietnam vet. I blew my left knee out in AIT carrying an M60 up a steep hill in Nov. 1970. I was given a medical discharge “for the Convenience of the Army” I was “in” for a little less...

Thanks for posting that Jim. It took two sessions, but I totally enjoyed the video. He has a nice shop including a small CNC with a 14 station ATC that he designed and built. I’m surprised he doesn’t...

I had lunch at a Denny’s a few days ago and the waitress, aside from the forehead tattoo looked very similar. To each their own..

It sure is green! Very pretty!

There's a thread on the Vectric forum on the v12 upgrade. There's a lot of unhappy campers. I decided to stick with 10.5 for now.

There were very few car wash/gas stations around here. As far as I know they all closed down years ago. They have been building semi do it yourself “ride through the tunnel” washes left & right.

Your shop has filled up nicely. That is a lot of floor mats.

Back on track

Exceptional!

I am leaning in that direction too.

I absolutely agree with you. I ditched Norton 20+ years ago and remember an unpleasant fight to remove it from my PC.

I’ve been tossing this around since last week. I don’t use all of the features of 10.5.

I got one this morning. Generally all you have to do is look at the senders email address to know it's bogus. Gmail does a good job of recognizing junk. My Outlook account seldom spots them. As...

I sent my 1 ton lathe packing last week to its new home. It was fun getting it on the trailer! Note the once mine MM16 in the background. Package deal..

I hate borrowing tools or anything else. I typically will buy whatever I need when I need it. I will loan some tools out, (but not others) to a few trusted friends/family.
The downside to buying...

I had a MT chuck fall out of the quill while side milling on a DP. It got very exciting very quickly.

Not entirely true. I have had a knee mill in my shop for 30 years with no noticeable wear on the ways. As long as the way-wipes are in decent condition you shouldn’t have any problems. I do most of...

That was beautiful Maurice, thank you.

Last week I posted a pic of my MM16 departing. Today, my engine lathe is patiently waiting for the evil forklift to arrive.

Thanks for posting that, I had no idea Eddie Albert was a WWII hero. He was one of my favorite actors.
RIP

Nice work Tom. I'm in the process of getting bathroom/shower remodel quotes right now. Can you come to Albuquerque? :)

A sad week for me as I’m in the process of downsizing the shop of things I don’t use enough. The MM left the building Saturday afternoon, and the 1 ton lathe will be gone next week. :(
