    Want To Buy 80gr JLKs

    Give me time, I thought I have some left over from the 90s. Two years ago Jimmy Knox asked me to chamber a 6XC for his AR10. In return he sent me a large box of his personal stash. There may be some 80 grainers. I know there are 168 7mm, 175 30 cal and 90s in 224. Give me some time to look.

    Total Shoulder replacement...

    Yes, it does. I sleep on my L side mostly. With L replaced I put a long pillow on my L and sleep on the R. But, any time in my sleep when I guess I tried to move to the L, sharp pain shoots up and wakes me up. The again, I am still under a month since the L was replaced.

    Yes, sir. Thank you, you are right about the change gear. I have a spare 2HP motor and a spare Hitachi VFD I can use to upgrade it. It would be a nice project come winter time when I recover enough from my shoulder replacement. Hoping to find the mill attachment for it so I don't have to use BP...

    Here. You can see the scale is mounted on the extruded aluminum. The rigid aluminum makes your life easier indicating its parallalism to the carriage. Indicate the top and back to make sure there is no noticeable runout as you move the carriage from end to the other. Adjust as needed. The...

    May I make a suggestion? For the Z or carriage scale, buy an extruded slotted aluminum square to mount the scale on. It is much easier to mount and indicate it square and level in the back of the bed, then mount the scale on it.

    With the Super11 in the stable, I can now swap D1-4 accessories between it and the Trump 1236 and PM1440TV. Make Machining Great Again!

    Nice one. Looks like, you can thread imperial and metric without changing end gears.

    I am replacing it with this one, a Super11 for the same price. Super 11 is an upgrade, I just need to add a VFD and DRO. Headstock length are close to the same length. A D1-4 nose is a plus.

    Copper ring on a 4J or set thru 3J or 6J works. I custom cut lots of rings to fit barrel shank or muzzle end. On a spider I prefer the blocks with ball bearings. The adjusters are cup with a ball end mill to mate with the ball bearings. The barrel pivots on the ball bearing.
