Re: Taper roller bearing removal ?
If they are like automotive wheel bearings I doubt if they are secured by any more than a very light press fit. I'd try tapping the spindle on the threaded end with the black grease, toward the lower end with the new grease. But that is just me and I have no experience with this or any type of mill....

Re: Assorted car stuff
I'm with the coolant in the oil answer. When I was in college (in the dark ages) one of my classmates worked at a garage and he said one car came in with an absolutely full crankcase which he had never seen before. He did say that the engine oil pan was exceptionally clean. No mention of gas mileage...

Re: Ideas for pushing oil through zerk fittings and ball oilers
There was a thread on this site long ago about doing this same thing. I built one for my mill and use 80wt motor oil in it.

Re: Another newbie question about buying a used lathe
My advice would be to avoid any Atlas/Craftsman lathe no matter how inexpensive it is. The bed has two flat ways and the bed is way too flexible for any heavy usage.
Just my opinion for what it is worth.

Re: Double ball joint design
The third hand that I bought when my son was in high school and making circuit boards for robotics is just like the one shown in the Micromark catalog picture but the cast base on mine has XACTO in cast letters on it. I probably bought this 35 years ago, and I'd bet it was from Radio Shack, remember...

Transfer from paper to engraving material
My friend is a hobbyist manual engraver. For a number of years, he was able to print a pattern on his IBM LaserJet printer, including backward printing in various fonts. He would then place the paper pattern face down on the material to be engraved, put a few drops of acetone on the pattern and the ...
