Dman, that is a good sign!

Blech. 3" today...

Jon, I thought your wife would be used to that by now?

[oldestof11]

She sick of it. Especially when it hit 16".

Dodgefreak, you don't want that. You need a new compressor housing. Dumbazz cutoff the part the boot slips over.

I have a comp housing off my other one. plus we have a junk housing that my cousin can cut the end off and tig weld on it. $240 shipped I think I'm going to snag it.

Picked up a new toy yesterday. Bought a Bridgeport J head mill. Gonna take it to powder coat and rebuild the motor before I put it to work. Got a really good deal on it I think.

[DMan1198]

That is a nice looking machine right there

[oldestof11]

If you paid less than a grand for it, I hate you..

I've been chasing one of those for a couple weeks now. Complete with a rotary table, boxes of collets, tooling, etc. It was out if an estate sale. Only contact has been threw email, and I've never gotten a response. I've emailed every day, and still nothing.

[diesel freak01]

I paid 1k for it. With DRO and power feed. Power feed motor is missing but that should be pretty simple. Not cheap but simple.

You're dead to me...

[diesel freak01]

You're dead to me...

Maybe so but I have a Bridgeport!!

I just wish it had some tooling with it. Now I need Bridgeport lessons.

There's a decent deal on a 47re on Compd. Comes with converter and 241 t case for 1500 shipped.
