Re: Did I buy a milling machine or a mistake?
I also have what looks to be the same mill, also inherited from my dad who bought it new in the 80s. Mine is branded as an Enco model 91000, and is similar (if not identical) to the Rong Fu RF-30. I have the "manual" that was supplied by Enco, but it's too big to upload here. If you need s...

Re: Rail Bender
Okay. Here are the pictures. Like Bill, I didn't have to jump through any particular hoops to view them. Then for the record, as Bill says, to upload pictures first hit the FULL EDITOR AND PREVIEW button. Then select the ATTACHMENTS tab, then ADD FILES, and then follow your nose to complete the uplo...

Sometimes a Google search works better than the search built into the forum software. Type the following query (without the quotes) into Google and see if you don't get more and/or better results:

Re: New Knurling tool
Very nice. I've seen plans for similar tools where they suggested hardening some of the parts. I don't remember the details, but I'm wondering if you did anything similar?

Re: Another What Is It
That's kinda what I thought, too, but wasn't sure the spacing was right from the picture. Maybe check if there are 10 (for Pica) or 12 (for Elite) teeth per inch. That would help confirm the guess.ChipsAhoy wrote:Tab spacer off an old typewriter?

Re: Fitting and bonding corrugated metal roofing sheets
You're welcome. Besides the general tone of the writing, johnwinston's post contains a few specific things that are just kind of "off": While ctwo's original post is asking mostly about how to cut and mechanically join the parts before soldering, the response is more of a tutorial on "...

Re: Fitting and bonding corrugated metal roofing sheets
Russ, I've played around with ChatGPT enough to just sort of recognize what its responses sound like. So although I'm not 100% sure that the above post was AI-generated, I'm about 99% sure. To show you what I mean, following are a couple of ChatGPT's responses when I asked it to answer ctwo's origin...

Re: Advice On Buying A Wiggler and Centre Finder 5 Piece Set.
If the point is not concentric with the wiggler's shaft, the DTI will show movement of the shaft when the point is actually on the rotational axis of the part. Only if the wiggler is rotating. actually...if the wiggler is not rotating, it will not make a difference where the point is relative to th...

Re: Advice On Buying A Wiggler and Centre Finder 5 Piece Set.
If the point has been sharpened and is no longer on center, location will be compromised by an equal amount. I don't see this. If the chuck is adjusted so that the wiggler does not move when the chuck is rotated (according to the DTI), it seems to me that the point of the wiggler must be on the lat...

I guess this is where us obnoxious bastards from Arizona are supposed to gloat. I'd hate to disappoint. You all can get even next summer when it's 110F here.
