  2. Olsa Tools Lesson Learned - The Hobby-Machinist

    www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/olsa-tools-lesson-learned.89515

    Olsa has addressed this issue with a 'push' technology which reverses the direction of the ratchet by just pushing the wrench toward the bolt and turning in the direction you want to go. It's pretty slick, and easier to use than it sounds like it would be. (There are videos on youtube.)

    Just a follow-up. With the help of the endoscope, a wire coat hanger, and an overabundance of determination and patience, the 15mm is back home with it's brethren. Fortunately, the well where it was trapped was too small for it to fall down flat, and the box end was up, so I was able to hook it...

    I have a good amount of Shars stuff. Everything is of good quality or I wouldn't keep buying. 1" digital mic and 6" digital calipers are my go-to measuring devices all day long. When in comes to press fits in .001 or tighter then I use Starrett and gauge blocks, Almost all Shars comes to NC in 3-4 days. no matter how shipped.

    Joined. Oct 27, 2023. Messages. 666. Sep 5, 2024. #1. Hello all, have a few tools that I got a while back from a deceased jewelers lot. The first two are a set and may not even be able to be classified as tools but I have no clue what they are so hoping to get some insight here. The second is some sort of an alignment gage I assume.

  6. OXA Tool Holder and Cutoff Bar Woes | The Hobby-Machinist

    I did need to mill some off the bottom of the GTN-3 Holder (red) since at 1/2" the holder is too large for the 0XA; the GTN-2 Holder (silver) is 3/8", so is a good fit as supplied. Here is a comparison of the regular cutoff tool holder and a 3/8" turning insert tool holder, both set at center height: Again, ignoring parallax you can see that ...

  7. Logan 6561 H Restoration - The Hobby-Machinist

    www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/logan-6561-h-restoration.106841

    Jun 24, 2023. #1. This is the restoration story of my 6561 H Logan lathe. It has a 14 inch swing and 40 inch between centers. Well, after having the lathe for seven years, I made it my priority to be the first project when I retired. It took me 9 solid months (almost every day) to get it completed. I totally underestimated the project for time.

    Messages. 19. Feb 27, 2018. #3. American Tool Chest Co., Wauwatosa, WI (a suburb of Milwaukee), has been added to Pg 40 of ‘The’ Guide. It was formed in 1920 by John H Ehlert and burnt down in 1921. This also answers questions about Ehlert Hardware and Ehlertbilt machinist tool cases. Also, I have rearranged the manufacturer’s listings on ...

    391. Sep 5, 2024. #1. This fixture came from the bench of a clock maker friend who passed last year. The NAWCC folks couldn't figure it out so maybe it was something he used in his machine shop. It's made from brass and aluminum with a steel guide pin.

  10. A Very Inexpensive Way To Sharpen Brazed Carbide Lathe Cutters

    www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/a-very-inexpensive-way-to-sharpen-brazed...

    Normal procedure for grinding a brazed carbide tool is to first grind away a little of the steel shank underneath the front and under the cutting edge. The reason for this is to better expose the actual cutting edges of the brazed carbide for sharpening. After grinding the shank as shown above, a “green wheel” is used to dress the carbide ...

  11. [How do I?] - Sharpen carbide lathe tools | The Hobby-Machinist

    www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/sharpen-carbide-lathe-tools.72177

    Aug 18, 2018. #2. Carbide tools can be sharpened on an ordinary bench grinder, but it does not do the best job in terms of finish. It takes a special grinding wheel made of silicon carbide abrasive, When I was an apprentice, that is all the shop had, and we used a lot of brazed on tools in the shop; they had several grinders for carbide tools ...
