We used to use White Spirit in the parts washer at work, but my old Boss switched to Parts Washer (solvent based) from Bursons as the white spirit was getting a bit pricey. I actually preferred the...

Actually no the machine feet would actually increase the contact area. The BM-20E mill that I have has a base like the BM-30A so the contact area is only on the corners and this is about 100mm each...

Hi Matthew I have a Herless SM-1 at my work and it takes 'B' section belts. The belts have always been a pain as I've had to use multiple sizes to cover all the speeds. I did a lot of searching on...

Thanks for the replies Guys. I agree RC, that they don't need to be levelled as they have a solid base that doesn't move cause movement unlike a lathe's base. It's more a personal preference that the...

Hi All,
We put my Turret Mill into place yesterday at work. I checked the table with a Level and it's out a bit, but not massively. I've had a bit of a look online and I found a video on YouTube...

Hi,
With your 1635mm bandsaw blade fitted to the saw how much adjustment do you left ? - I would imagine that there would still be a fair bit left. You are only talking 3mm difference and...

I'm the same Dave and I probably don't have much choice as the knee locks are on the left side and there is a pipe for the one shot oiler on the right so a bracket from the reader head of the scale...

Thanks for the replies. I was searching just now and found this old thread https://metalworkforums.com/f65/t201620-dro-decisions-easson-vs-sino which seemed to answer my question as well. I couldn't...

Hi All, Does anyone know if Easson and Sino DRO Scales to Readers are compatible or not ?. I have just bought a Turret Mill with an Easson ES10 2 Axis Dro on it. I have a brand new Sino SDS6-3V 3...

Welcome to the forum Mark. I did some googling and came across this these links which someone had on The Hobby-Machinist https://collections.museumsvictoria.com.au/items/1511701 Instruction Sheet...

The Mill is dated 10/2006 but yes it does look good considering how grubby it looked in the pictures that ESP sent me before it was cleaned. Apart from a few marks on the table (no drill holes or cut...

Looks great Dave

The Wurth ones are quite good. The one we had at work lasted about 10 years and only ever had petrol in it. They are quite pricey though.

Yes the picture is a bit funny. There was a bit of drama with the Mill when it arrived. The Mill was sitting on a Pallet which was a pretty good pallet, but the pallet had broken and the mill was...

I've had a UB70 for over 15 years. I wish I had of bought the UB100 the time, but money was short. I've done quite a bit of bending with it over the years and it's still as solid as the day I bought...

I got a new to me Turret Mill today:yippee: for just over $6K. It's a Hafco BM-20E. It came with a 2 axis dro, 6" Vice, Collet chuck and collets, 75mm Face mill and a Boring and facing head....

Incredible, I didn't know that they could do something like that. Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic work Dave :2tsup:

I ordered two Oil level temperature gauges for the coolant tank on my bandsaw from Aliexpress on the 4/3/2021 and they arrived today 17/3/2021. That's the quickest time I've had anything from...

Maybe try emailing them and point out that you've tried ringing with no answer.

I decided to give this mob a go after doing some googling 0.5-16mm ISO30 NT30 Integrated Shank Arbor Keyless Precision CNC Drill Chuck | eBay . I could have bought the drill chuck cheaper off...

I have had a couple of things of Ausee in the past, but nothing recently. The delivery was very quick at the time. I did get an email earlier this month to say that they are moving. The number that I...

Many thanks Snapatap, that gives me some info. It looks like you didn't get much with a mill back in 2004 just the very basics like no vice, no clamp kit etc. It looks like the splash tray/chip tray...

I googled a bit before I bought it and the results that I was getting was models made in the 1990's. The picture of the motor that ESP Machinery sent me on the one I bought has the date as year 2000...

Hi All,
I'm just in the process of buying a Hafco BM-20E Turret Mill and I was wondering if anyone had an old Hare & Forbes Machinery House Catalogue with one in it. If they do could they please...

Really nice job and thanks for posting the drawings.

The link for the SINO DRO is the same ones that Hare & Forbes sell https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/K5200 . I did a Google search and came across this Website...

If it's the thread coming out of the gearbox I would suggest looking at a universal gearbox such as these...

Looks great and it looks like it's ready to eat something. It will look even better with a coat of paint.

I've been watching the channel as well for a while. It's good to watch an Australian for a while, good bloopers too LOL.

I did a Google search and ended up with this result https://www.traverscanada.com/belt-drive-milldrill-machine/p/87-115-929/ and this is the link to the manual...

I don't know if any of these links are of any use or not. They aren't schematic diagrams, but the first two links might be contactable people that might be able to help...

Welcome to the Forum
It looks like Lathes UK might have a manual https://store.lathes.co.uk/varnamo

Looks great. Out of interest what did the Laser cutting cost ?.

What about Interchangeable Pilot Counter Bores https://www.ausee.com.au/shop/item.aspx?itemid=4143 . They come with a 4mm Pilot, but the nearest Counter Bore is a smidge bigger than what you want at...

That certainly looks like a very handy gadget and not just for a Mill either, it could be used in a drill press too. I didn't watch MrPete's video for the same reason as you, but I did watch this...

With the tire inflated try hitting the rim with a rubber mallet. Don't keep hitting in the same spot though, rotate the wheel. A bit of spray like Inox or CRC doesn't hurt ever, spray it on first and...

Just an update. I ended up going for the Penrite Mild EP Gear Oil 110 which hopefully will arrive tomorrow. I went that way, because looking at the others I was likely going to have to buy a 20LT...

That's too neat Matt you need to mess it up some

My Bandsaw in question is the beast from Eden. I don't know what Brand the bandsaw is as there is no makers sticker or badge on it, but i does have the model no. UE-250S. The manual that I downloaded...

I did come across the Machinery Lubrication link, I should have shared it on here. Here is where I seen that link https://www.shopfloortalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13797 I had asked a supplier...

Hi All
I've just been doing some research trying to find out about oils for bandsaw gearboxes. I recently bought a UE-250S Bandsaw and I want to change the gearbox oil. The manual that I downloaded...

I paid the seller a deposit this morning after looking at the Bandsaw. I didn't haggle with him on price and the way he spoke I don't think he was going to budge anyway plus he is going to load it on...

Interesting set up. Unless those castors are lockable it would move around the floor a lot till the power cord plug pulled out.

I have heard Jatt that apparently Power Hacksaw blades make good scrapers. I must have a go at one myself and see what they are like as a gasket scraper. Just an update on the Bandsaw it's still...

Thanks for the reply's. I have to agree with you Guys about going for something that is overkill. There has been a number of times that I've had to cut a large piece of steel with an angle grinder...

Your probably right in that there's probably not a great deal of difference in them. I wasn't aware of the Bandsaw in Eden so thanks for that. I have got a good three phase supply at my Workshop. I'm...

Firstly MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE.
I'm looking at buying a Bandsaw for my work sometime next year. I already have a 6" X 6" Power Hacksaw for cutting solid metal sections. I...
