Rigidity matters. Inspired by robin renzetti and stefan gotteswinter, I ditched my compound and made a solid tool post block. I can now take 0.050DOC in mild steel, and 0.100DOC in 6061 Al... On a 7x10 minilathe.6yr ⋅ ExHempKnight ⋅ r/Machinists
Help me identify this mic? Made by J. T. Slocomb. Likely custom made for some specific task for some specific company, and it would be cool to figure it out.3yr ⋅ ExHempKnight ⋅ r/Machinists
Been jealous of all the Look at this score I got for *ridiculously low amount* post over the years... Finally got one of my own. Drove 4 hours, and paid $150 for a sweetheart of a surface grinder. Can't wait to make my first sparks!5yr ⋅ ExHempKnight ⋅ r/machining
My new (to me) shaper! It's a Rhodes 7, S/N 2259, which dates it to before 1929. Tore it down completely, cleaned it up, and made my first chips today! I'll eventually scrape it in and repaint it, but for now, I'm going to enjoy learning how to use it.4yr ⋅ ExHempKnight ⋅ r/Machinists
