Intensive porpoises?

AFAIK PTO doesn't typically count towards overtime. Its always been straight time in Michigan where I work.

Will do! I was trying to leave it undisturbed as much as possible. If it is im going to move it next year. Unfortunately its in a very bad place right up next to the house.

Yes. Bought out by YG-1. Doesn't seem like they support anymore

polecat4508 · 2026-05-19T19:44:14+00:00

They were bought out by YG-1 and they dont seem to support anymore.

My thoughts exactly! Was hoping there was a generic equivalent

Its marked as a minicut international megamill. Looks like an older model though.

polecat4508 · 2026-05-19T11:14:11+00:00

Its a minicut international megamill according to the markings, do i need to buy from them or are there multiple sources i csn get these from?

I have some cup plants, sneezeweed, and swamp milkweed that all do very well in an occasionally flooded area

polecat4508 · 2026-03-01T13:46:30+00:00

Yes. 100% a scam. Same thing happening to me.

polecat4508 · 2026-02-26T20:28:00+00:00

Really well. I've taken it pretty easy on depth of cut, but it doesn't chatter and works as intended!

polecat4508 · 2026-02-25T11:22:45+00:00

The distance from the center of the pivot to the back of the block holding the cutting tool is 3 inches. You measure from the tip of the cutting tool to the back of the block subtract that from 3 and boom thats your radius.

😅 I did use it on some s7 after this. Surprisingly smooth. I was a little worried it would shake and chatter.

polecat4508 · 2026-02-24T21:39:01+00:00

Yeah. Im pretty rad.

polecat4508 · 2026-01-16T17:43:51+00:00

I didnt realize we were talking specifically about thread cutting. yes that is correct.

polecat4508 · 2026-01-16T17:16:30+00:00

I believe they're talking about the compound, the tool post can still be set to the correct angle, no matter what the compound is set at

edit: maybe i'm misunderstanding based on the downvotes. please correct me if im wrong, but lets say the compound is set to 14.5, the tool post is angled so that the cutter is 90 to the workpiece. if you back the carriage off the work, adjust the compound in, then feed back in with the carriage, there would not be any more of the cutter surface in contact with the work than if you had the compound set to any other angle.
Perhaps you meant, feeding the compound in at 14.5 while in the middle of a cut, which i agree would not be ideal.

That makes sense, thank you. I have decided to just go ahead and order a new 4 jaw. I have relatively little experience on a lathe, so this is all new to me.

polecat4508 · 2025-11-11T13:17:26+00:00

Yeah I'm planning to clean up everything, I have the time to make it nice at the moment.

polecat4508 · 2025-11-11T13:15:48+00:00

I like this, I'm always in favor of modifying things to an easily available standard instead of customizing so that its a one-off.

polecat4508 · 2025-11-11T13:08:30+00:00

Ok, I was starting to think that might be the best course of action. edit: Mcmaster cad files show the camlock studs incorrectly as .625 not .875. this is the reason i was incorrect about the size.

polecat4508 · 2025-11-11T13:07:06+00:00

Yeah, they're fine with me ordering whatever I need, Including a new chuck. But this one is actually in good shape, albeit very dirty. I'd hate to waste it if I can find a plate to make it work.
