Found WIA 16tc 7016 a great rod, good to use once you get used to it, WIA 18tc 7018 is also a great rod.
Have always used them with an engine driven 225 amp DC welder.

Anyone know what is the correct oil for an older Hercus Lathe, and where it may be obtained.
Thank You.

A great many things were built with these welders, although not as easy to use as a DC welder, a great number of people learnt to weld on these and
similar welders. I still use one...

Thanks for your informative reply, the way his ad reads, makes them sound like the greatest set of plans ever.

RW He does bend thick walled tube or pipe with his bender . It is a heavy duty unit .

Would need to be well anchored down and a long extension on the handle.

These plans are for a tubing bender.

Strongly agree with post #17 regarding satincraft , in fact would say they would have to be the worst electrode in their category that I can remember using, as stated before slag trapped in the...

I'd build a large power hacksaw from the ground up, the larger the saw the easier it will be to construct. I have 14" HM one that I bought for $20, works

well. A PH would be much quicker and...

Going through some old engineering and farming magazines I have come across many articles re
homemade tools and equipment.
What have you built with your welder.

Multicraft 7016 were a good rod but hard to start and run, no where near as easy to use as a WIA 16TC or 18TC. Purchased a 5KG pack in 1975, only used them when
necessary, had only used 2/3rds of...

Have found 16TC and 18TC work best on a good engine driven DC welder.

Google, Homemade Power Hacksaws, there are some good HM machines shown.
Also there are 4 PH for sale on Ebay at the moment.

I have a HM power hacksaw that does not have a return lift and have not had a problem with excessive blade wear.

I feel that set up would work OK , provided it was built to take a 12 or 14 inch power hack saw blade, as it looks on utube its not much more than a powered hand hacksaw.

I have 115 mm , 125mm and a 9inch, all Hitachi.
Wouldn't go any smaller than a 115mm and stay with the better makes like Metabo Makita Hitachi etc. I always ask for the heavy duty tradesman model.

I'd use a inch round bar with heavy inch pipe.

Looks to be based on the same principle as the COLE DRILL that was made in the US. These are often listed on www.ebay.com

Have found LPR excellent to deal with.
Would not buy from OZMxxx, as they have never answered any emails sent regarding their
products.

Paid $63 for one of these at a good quality tool store, thought it was more than enough.

The time & expense incurred looking for free pieces would most likely make a
new piece look cheap.

If it was mine I,d weld a piece of 39mm round into the 50mm gap before fitting the sleeve.

Shipping costs from the US are the main deterent, otherwise they have great tools at a reasonable price

Looks Good. Utilising pipe fittings is an great way to go, should make it easier to keep things square than welding.

A good book to have if you can find one at the right price, but not a beginners book.

Are you trying to weld the hub or the stub axle?
I've seen Holden /Falcon stub axles welded successfully, at a guess I'd say the axles and hubs are
cast steel.

"How To Run A Lathe" puplished by the South Bend Lathe Works is as good or better than most to start with.

That could be possible, will have to check it out.
It is a horizontal mill with a flat belt drive (3 stepped pulleys & a backgear similar to a South Bend Lathe),table has 3 slots for work holding ,...

Your right about the spelling, although the change didn't bring any thing worthwhile up on Google

Has anyone heard of or know anything about "Emerick Milling Machines".
They were apparently made in Australia around the early 1960s.

If its going on a welding table I'd go for a cheaper fabricated one preferably an off set type, the towbar idea for mounting is a good idea.

Have used 4.5" angle grinders for over 30 years, havn't found finding consumables an
issue.
They are stronger than a 4" , the extra 1/2" does make a difference and ease of
handling is retained.

DC has always been easier to weld with, but providing you have good mains power the older AC 130/140 amp are OK. Have seen a decent size stock crate built with one.
My preference has always been a...

Mounting and aligning the work piece correctly would be the hardest part of this type of boring.
Has anyone bought or built any attachment for their lathe to facililate this.

The design of the cutter is a big factor in the Super Drills success, over all they are a well thought out and well made tool, you could put in a lot of time
trying to make one even using their...

A large truck brake drum or wheel makes a good base for a dropsaw stand.

That is the way I'd go.
Should be one in every workshop.

Recently ordered one (8.5"Dia) from the US, came to $145.00 Including shipping.

Thanks for the Information.
Have dealt with 3415len & dezza001 and found them very good.

Who Where or What are You Referring To?

How did you come up with this figure?
Congratulations on your very informative post.

Has always been mine too, have a heavy duty Hitachi can't fault it.
