My collets have been rough going up in the spindle . I looked up in there and the little R8 aligning grub screw is a little bit galled over. I'd like to remove this grub screw but can't figure out how. I removed the quill base but see no way to get at the grub screw. I called Matt earlier this...

While the Z is out in the open, i've found the X and Y axis locking screw handles to be a bit awkward. I had bought new bolts and had planned to weld wing nuts on the ends but when I removed the x/y lock bolts and unscrewed the handles off of the bolts , I thought the little screws might aid me...

I have a Suburban Fly cutter and their 5" bar . I started getting familiar with it by facing off all my aluminum chill blocks. Roughly 4"x5" one inch thick 6061 blocks . The fly cutter works great but I have to run it in low range in my mill, which is 370 RPM and slow table feed . I can run it...

A short vid , fly cutting jaws of an old vise I found at the scrap yard . The aluminum jaws were kind of chewed up and a few places where cutters cut into the jaws. Welded those over then milled and fly cut them. No clue what make or model this vise is...was on an old Supermill at the junk yard...

Saw this vise on an old Supermill at the scrapyard I frequent. It was outside, covered in gunk and chips but the handle still turned so I grabbed it for scrap price. Took about an hour to scrape all the encrusted chips and gunk out of it, then about an hour or so with wire brushes and wheels...

I am new to milling but pretty machinery savvy. I am completely befuddled on how to use the manual quill feed handwheel and depth stop. Does anyone have a video showing that in action. The handwheel would be useful for dialing in depth of cut, but mine always jumps out of engagement and settings...
