RE: [atlas_craftsman] Tool Post for 6x18 Craftsman - test

 

Robert ,

 

Apologies to the group for hijacking this thread , but my direct emails to you come back as undeliverable – any idea why ?

 

Here is an example –

 

“The following message to <wa5cab@cs.com> was undeliverable.

The reason for the problem:

5.4.7 - Delivery expired (message too old) 421-'4.7.1 : (DYN:T1) http://postmaster.info.aol.com/errors/421dynt1.html'”

 

Kind Regards,

 

Carvel

Dave,

The correct size for a 6" is the 0XA.  I would get a steel-bodied wedge type.  The aluminum body tool post might be OK for a few years but the steel body will outlast it.  And although I have a piston type tool post (an AXA on my 12"), it is a Yuasa from 1981 and has nearly twice the piston head cross section of the Chinese made ones.  And the price difference today from the same vendor isn't that much.

Buy some extra #1 and/or #2 tool holders.  It isn't exactly true to say that you can't have too many of them but you can certainly have too few.  I currently have a dozen of them (two are oversize ones) and at least 8 of them have cutters in them all of the time.  If you have to change cutters in your one holder during a job, you just lost the major advantage of the QC over the lantern type.

And buy one of the bubble type height setting guages, either the two-hand cheaper one or the better but more expensive one hand one.

I have a Craftsman 101.07301 that I want to put a quick change tool post on.  It currently has the original lantern tool post and I want to put in something that I can set accurately and get a bit more rigidity out of.  I don't use the lathe much but it is very handy to have for small parts.


Any suggestions on a model or vendor for the upgrade?  I don't want to spend a fortune on it but I also don't want a piece of trash.

Dave

Re: [Simply Computers] PXE E61 Media test failure

 

You put in a 1 TB drive, but did you format it and install an operating
system?

If you have the computer set to boot to the hard drive first, but are
getting a PXE error, then the computer is not finding an OS on the drive.

RE: [Simply Computers] PXE E61 Media test failure

 

From what I can gather this is a Lenovo B570.

 

According to what I was able to research on Lenovo's support site, this unit takes a maximum of 8gb of ram.

 

Were you able to determine if the drive is operating apart from booting. For example, it might be worth testing the drive with WD's drive tools.

 

The exact error message seems to indicate you are attempting to boot to a network drive. One solution suggested disabling or turning off booting to a lan.

 

One other recommendation pointed to a failing CMOS battery.

Re: [Simply Computers] PXE E61 Media test failure

 

For testing purposes we usually have the CD first to boot for installing Windows or running Boot or Live CDs like Hiren's Boot CD or Puppy Linux. Of course, I never ran an SSD hard drive, so testing those might be different...others will help you, too.
Hmm, PXE usually means booting from a network attached server...

Re: [atlas_craftsman] Truth about Purple cleaner actual test

 



I have no idea if the material was coated in fact, or not.  If it was, it is a thin coating, and the lye apparently removed it easily.  There was a slight delay between putting in the sample and the beginning of bubbling, which I can accept attributing to a coating.
 
I have no doubt whatever that the coating, if present, was removed and the aluminum was directly attacked, due to the vigorous bubbling on both sides.  The "hand" of the etched side is different, in keeping with it being somewhat thinner, as well.  I did not, however, attempt to ignite the gas given off, which would presumably be hydrogen.
 
Mentioning the test elsewhere produced a host of folks who routinely clean aluminum with lye based cleaners, and who cannot figure out what the fuss is about.

I am very willing to believe that the Purple cleaner has only a slight reaction with bare Aluminum over a reasonably short time, ie cleaning but not prolonged submersion with a large volume of cleaner.

That said, it is possible that the cleaner in the experiment only removed the plastic on both sides? If the plastic is on both sides its removal might explain the difference in pre/post test measurements?

Might be interesting to repeat with a non coated sample?

Yes, it may have a 'skim coat" of plastic on it.  But not enough plastic to bother the test, since the foil, after a slight delay as the plastic was apparently penetrated, was visibly covered by bubbling solution on each side.  Obviously the plastic coating, if present, was not affecting the test.
 
There WAS measurable removal of material, and therefore we can confidently say that the cleaner was contacting the aluminum, since we know that it does react with aluminum, and would expect to see evidence of that.   The bubbling, material removal, and foam on both sides of the material during the test verify that the plastic was not preventing the reaction.
 
It took approximately 20 to 30 seconds for the cleaner to penetrate the plastic and begin vigorous bubbling.

Aluminum foil is actually a bit of foil covered with thin plastic on each side. I don't know what this means to your test, thank you for doing it, but thought I'd mention it.

There has been a lot of comment and hyperventilation about how purple
cleaner and its relatives will eat aluminum parts. I say it doesn't, and I
decided to do a test.

Aluminum foil seemed to be a good subject for a test, it's thin, and might
provide dramatic photos of the foil eaten right up to the "water line".

Well, don't get excited, it wasn't very dramatic.

I filled a small yogurt cup (chobani greek, if it matters, 6 oz size) about
half full of undiluted purple cleaner (Zep Industrial Purple Cleaner from
Home Depot). A square of standard aluminum foil (2.25" x 2.35") was
immersed approximately halfway in the purple cleaner. Aluminum foil was
measured to be 1.8 thou thick, using a Mitutoyo 1" micrometer.

After 20 seconds or so, it began to foam up, and looked like this
http://smg.photobucket.com/user/jstanley/media/purpleclean1_zps3aa3fccf.jpg.html

I waited 10 minutes, after which not much seemed to be happening, and
removed the aluminum foil.

The remaining cleaner in the cup had a very substantial "head" on it.
http://smg.photobucket.com/user/jstanley/media/purpleclean2_zps8c4aeb1f.jpg.html

The aluminum foil was visibly complete, and after washing it was not visibly
affected by its immersion.
http://smg.photobucket.com/user/jstanley/media/purpleclean3_zpsfd7d5ffc.jpg.html

The immersed portion measured at approximately 1.2 thousandths of an inch
thick at the thinnest part, and the non-immersed part ws confirmed at 1.8
thou. The difference was 6 ten-thousandths of an inch.

Another piece of foil was immersed in the remaining purple cleaner, and did
show some bubbling, but nothing like the original thick "head" was present
after several minutes.

What I get from this is that if about 3 oz of the purple cleaner can remove
only 3 ten-thousandths of an inch thickness from each side of a piece of
aluminum foil in ten minutes of soaking, and is apparently substantially
exhausted in doing that, it is extremely unlikely to do any measurable
damage to your machine parts in any reasonable cleaning process involving
repeated dunking, scrubbing, and rinsing.

I think a good cleaning does not have to include this process, but if you
choose to use the lye-based Purple cleaners, you may do a normal sort of
cleaning (no extended soaking) without fear
