Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Your chuck says 4JT which is a 4 Jacobs taper. You need an R8 to 4JT adapter. Ours is a 3T cause the chuck is smaller.

 

Quick search found this one, you may be able to get one quicker somewhere else. @BananaMan

Big time thank you, I appreciate not having to chase over hell and back to find that info. Now to tell my boss he spent $400 on a chuck that needs another part for us to use...

 

Anytime

 

Better than the "it's not returnable and we can't make it work" discussion!

 

Ugh, this is going painfully slow. If only I took time to shorten everything up. Close gap between ways and chuck

 

Interesting that schematic said just what Kirk and I said

50amp breaker 6/3 wire I wonder why your friend said it can`t work?? Maybe some sort of local code ?

Did he offer to buy it for a few dollars?

 

But those cool machine gun sounds from all the interrupted cuts

How big is that chuck, 24"?

 

For those learning what I'm talking about is closing up this gap. You've all heard me talk about having everything ridgid as possible. If I closed this gap then everything would be more solid. I wouldn't have that boring bar hanging out there and could have chose a better tool entirely. I even had my wrench on the nuts that lock those ways down....said nah, I'll just do this....

 

Shipping is going to cost more then the donuts!!

After all it needs to be climate controlled

 

Haha yes is stead of tink tink tink tink I got that times 2 because I cut them corners off!
It's 47.5 " diameter chuck and little over 9" through bore. Things a beast. If set up properly it would take .150" depth of cut, in steel, and not even break a sweat.

 

If gas was not so high right now I would take you up on the offer.

If I could afford it I need a adventure I am not really used to being in one spot so long even if this is home.

I really do miss working.

 

I was thinking the same thing?

 

Apologies in advance if this is a trigger for anyone who has stopped drinking.

@wilcam47 you'll likely remember
my super mess up on the stainless steel doors for the whiskey cabinet?

The failure

I could never make myself throw those pieces away and today I finally redeemed myself.


The redemption:

 

You can go stand in the corner and think about what you said.

 

Doesn't bother me at all. Just because I'm not a very good drinker, I still think it's nice for people that can responsibly. Cool project and nice save.
always good when one can redeem themselves I have that quality. .

 

Suddenly moving to Minnesota has an odd appeal for some reason...

 

brother!

 

Ugh. I think going to go grab me a diet Dr pepper. I'm thinking about regroup and set this machine up proper. I'll be time ahead if I do.
