Hello from Mishawaka, IN My name is Jim and I'm a retired industrial arts teacher. Lasted 36 1/2 years! I've always been interested in all things mechanical. I now have a shop in the basement of my home where I have a 9" South Bend lathe that my father bought new in the 50's. A Rockwell mill that I have added a DRO, power down spindle and power x feed on the table. Projects so far are include Fords's 1st engine and in the process of building 2 of Bob Shores Hercules. I just returned from the NAMES model show in the Detroit area and realize how far behind I am!! Make lots of stupid mistakes but keep plodding along. :doh: |

Welcome Jim! I'd like to see a pic of your powered down-feed. Do you mean that the quill is powered?What was the reason for doing that? |
