Today's video from @Woodmachinist (AKA Matt) is an unboxing video (of sorts) wherein his employee/editor makes an appearance!

BobginpghFinal beauty shots of the Wilton Bullet No. 4 I just refurbished. It is probably from 1941 since it doesn’t have a date stamp on the dynamic jaw key, and shows patent pending - the Wilton patent was granted in 1941.

This well used and abused Wilton Bullet vise has been under the bench for a few years. I was waiting until I got the Van Norman mill set up to tackle the dynamic jaw that had been fitted with a welded jaw insert. It didn’t take much to remove and clean it up. More to come...

This well used and abused Wilton Bullet vise has been under the bench for a few years. Time to do a basic refurb starting in my new 5 gallon bucket of Evapo-Rust. This will need some mill work, a new handle, and a shop made set of jaws. Stay tuned. .

Finally got around to making a case and tray for my L15 & ER25 collets.
These came with an #Emcomat 7 combination #Lathe & #MillingMachine I was given.
The machine and tooling belonged to the manager of the New Product Design Office where I worked back in the early 1980s.
I hope he'd be glad to see that I took good care.
There's something special about a man's tools. Something of their spirit stays with them.
poleguy looking for lost toolsI'm in a fun rabbit hole. I decided to use my #mill as a #lathe. I didn't have #tooling so I ground my own from a drill bit. I didn't have a tool holder so I made that too. I wanted to turn a 1 inch cylinder but don't have anything to hold something that big. So I drilled a hole and press fit a 3/8 inch rod into it and mounted in a #collet.
I'll post steps, photos, video, rationale someday. "Doing it the hard way, on purpose."

Raphael LuckomInterested to hear from any machinists. I'm finally replacing the heavy-but-wobbly wooden tables that make me too nervous to use my benchtop metal #lathe and #MillingMachine. I have heavy steel workstand frames coming, but I need to figure out the benchtops. I am especially interested in damping vibration. One interesting idea I've heard is a top layer of corian over a couple of pieces of MDF...
