I would probably just radius them with a file myself, I might mill off the corner at a 45 degree angle just to get most of the material off but you could even dress it down real close with a hand...

Glad that I found this, great info guys. I should be getting one (Emmerts Vise) soon that has the same piece broken. With the drawings I will probably make up a replacement from steel.

Very nice; Nice shaper as well..... Do you just luck out on the color match?
Wow who would need "another" bandsaw......... ME ;)
Why not drill it out, tap with pipe threads and thread in a hose fitting...something like this http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/PARKER-Male-Connector-2GUP4?Pid=search
Dave you might do well to fire off an e-mail to Norton and DMT and explain your situiation. They might be able to provide some advice and perhaps a "student" discount on some products. They may...
We run a lot of EMT and rigid at my job and we always use a tubing cutter.(Im an electrician) Any saw will leave a ragged edge or bur of some kind. After the tubing cutter use a cosink to clean off...
Why not a tubing cutter?
Why not just sit at your current bench? Just a matter of getting a seat of the correct height that is comfortable for the task at hand. It can be easier cutting dovetails when the work is closer to...
You could also go with one of the screws like Lee Valley and others sell, that use a wooden dowel for a handle, and make whatever length is needed.
...
You could always make the screw to fit, or as for the handle you could always use a handwheel similar to what benchcraft uses on their vises.
I just finished making a couple square thread 1.25...
I was about to go the 2x12 SYP route and found some maple that had got a little wormy for free. Im still in the process so I may have to buy a little to finish everything
I had a plunger type dial indicator on my drill press years ago but I cant track down any pics. (I moved up to a Bridgeport Mill)
Here is a good article on a craftsman drill press with a set of...
For repeatable depth attaching a dial indicator somewhere where your depth stop is would work.
So when you say counterbored do you mean cosink? as in an angled hole? Or cobored, a flat bottomed...
Ive grooved scraper blades with a 20 lpi file and they turn out nice. Havent gotten around to trying it on a plane iron to see if it would cut. If I had to I would use a carbide endmill in a...
You could experiment by adding some weights to your current planes and see if you like the change. Even something as simple as stick on wheel weights added here and there could tell you a lot. If...
Getting fatter at the top the tote almost has a "Corsair" type of look to it, minus the finger grooves, very nice
The stubby one would be a nice awl. Im always laying stuff out on steel and I use something similar, a tungsten electrode for a tig welder
As someone from Cincinnati I think that is really cool. Never heard of them myself, great find
Nice lathe; I would probably go with a stout wood stand, get something like a cookie sheet to sit under the bed to catch chips but mainly to catch any drippings from cutting oil.
Get the...
Im in the middle of doing a bench as well. I made my bottom flat, not necessarily smooth/flat but it is flat. I had some pretty rough stuff so I "practiced" on the bottom.
I had a bit of a...
A beautiful example of what can be done big box lumber yard material and fine craftsmanship, just lovely...
I love my weed burner, sounds like a jet engine.......... No I cant imagine burning weeds, I do use mine to start a fire (outside) and it will drain an LP tank fast enough to frost up the outside ;)
I think this illustrates why O-1 is easier to work with. Its more fogiving.. In the end when you get close to 1500 and quench, its hard. You can have different ways of doing it, torch, oven, ...
Honesty you may be fussing too much over the run out. Many 3 jaw chucks and especially those in the "Shars" price range will never run dead true just chucking up. With your removable jaws you can...
