FedEx Rolled In This Morning

[John P.]

110 pounds of good old American Iron. Easily adaptable to my 14x40 Gear Head Jet.

Everything works great, just got to figure out how to remove the 6 tool holders. I suspect 60 years of congealed lube after sitting on a shelf somewhere. Kroil is doing its thing now.

Ya hoo, got them out. 2 hour soak in Kroil did it. And a little help from a lathe dog to add some twisting motion .

After some minor fitting and machining I will have it set up on the lathe.

This thing is pristine inside. Some of the tool holders are blanks, never used. Still can see the hand scraping.

I will be tooling it up for loading die making. Mainly for the odd big bores.

Thats nice, wish I could find one new like that.
