Looks to me like you did about as good as anyone could have done. Finishing up all the little stuff always burns more time than anyone would think it should. That's why I never put a price on a house until I was completely finished with it, all the tools were moved out, and everything cleaned up. Most of the time, it sold on the first weekend. I never kept one longer than two weeks once I put a price on it, and never used a realtor, or advertised more than having a small sign at the road all along. -
I have had one of these for a while now and really like it. Well worth the money. -
Hi everyone. I have an F.E. Reed lathe, built in 1890. It has the original babbit steel bearings. A few days ago my faceplate got stuck on the spindle. (No, I didn't have my plastic washer on unfortunately.) It has happened a couple times in the past, but this time it is *truly* stuck. I have tried everything I can think of including: 1. heat 2. PB Blaster and heat 3. Liquid Wrench and heat 4. I made a flange out of hard maple and grade 8 fasteners and mounted a 1" section of pipe to it as a lever, attached it to the faceplate so that I could get leverage and torque. The lathe spindle locks by putting a pin through the cast iron frame and into the stepped flywheel. Here's where I am stuck: With the flywheel immobilized and my newly made massive torque bar, when I crank on it, the spindle actually moves separately from the flywheel (only with significant force. It definitely doesn't want to.) I've tried a more acute blow with a sledge, I've tried using wedges to help nudge it away... I've tried everything I can think of, and am truly stuck. I'm at the point now where I think I may need to find a machinist because I'm out of options. I'd truly appreciate any helpful hints. Thanks in advance, Peter -
I've done that and uploaded the manuals and receipts to my Evernote account and Dropbox. And yes, I made sure the receipt for the Mega Flush Trim bit was uploaded. -
It might have been a year ago, but@Coop mentioned that he keeps his receipts for major equipment with the manuals. I thought that was an excellent idea and finally got around to implementing it. The idea is that my estate's executors would have an easier time figuring out what's what and what things are worth. Probably helpful to me, too, if I want to sell something. One thing else I might do is photocopy the receipt and the cover of the manuals of the big items and keep those in a separate place for insurance purposes.
