A VERY NICE Instructional Machining Site!

[seagiant]

Hi,
I thought I would turn everyone on to this site I found that has a gentleman Tom Griffin. teaching all phases of machining instruction.

He has projects with videos and CAD blueprints free for downloading so you can do the project yourself if you want!

Just a very nice site! http://tomstechniques.com/

He shows how he made a air assist draw bar actuator for his mill.

Hi,
Welcome to the addiction!

One of the things that used to aggravate me when trying to rebuild an old reloading press was the lack of springs that needed to be replaced.

I used to go to the hardware store and sometimes lucked out but usually not!

Finally figured out, I would be better off to make my own! Not that hard really,knowledge is sometimes everything!!!

I have aquired a 9X19 Jet lathe that needs some repair work on it, having been used in a highschool shop class. These video's are too cool. can't wait to get started. Thanks to all that contributed!
