Thank you so much! I hadnt any clue about which knobs to use so I had them turned down all.. now I see how theyre connected, thanks a lot

It is very informative

Thanks Richard. I'm shopping for a tool post. I figured BXA was the size I needed. Nice to have a visual confirmation. I have a Standard-Modern Series 2000 11-20. I think it's the next generation newer, 11" version of your machine. Cheers!

I welded a half inch drive socket on the end of my spline gear and use a ratchet. when I dont want the ratchet I attach a breaker bar.

Richard, Awesome video! I am looking at making some press attachments to help me bend some small parts made out of .030 aluminum or even possibly 16g steel. This video helps!

Many years ago I bought a Dorian BXA for my Southbend 10L Heavy. It worked just fine. I bought the Dorian because I was familiar with them and liked the design. Their tool holders were also the first, as far as I could tell, to have a 3/4” height for the tool. They were using a higher quality alloy for the holders so were able to cut the bottom thinner. That made it easier to get to center height with a 5/8” tool. When I bought my current Southbend FOURTEEN, I moved it there. With that, I was able to use 3/4” tooling. A friend has a 15” LeBlond. He decided to get a CXA. I don’t see any real advantage for most people. The only one I know of is that he can buy the abundant used tooling in 1” size on eBay. The manufacturers are pretty accurate about the sizing for their tool posts. Aloris and Dorian give slightly different ranges, but it doesn’t matter. A definitely agree about buying a wedge post rather than a piston post. If you’re going to make heavy cuts, if your lathe allows it, or drill a big hole, the piston post can allow the holder to twist a bit, while the wedge holds it solidly along the entire length of the dovetails.

Where are you located, and where did you find a used Standard-Modern lathe:? That's an old one; I used to work for them as a draftsman. Those things will last forever if you service and maintain them.

Very precise and very well done and professionally done job

Exactly what I needed to know. Thank you.

Never really had a use for an arbor press . I think you enlighten me on the possibility of different tooling to use.

Thank you Richard for a great explanation of the D1-x series. I am a beginning machinist (in my 60's) , and the Camlock world is now less of a mystery because of your clear explanation.

Fantastic info!

A BIG INFORMATION DROP FOR ME HUGE THANK YOU.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Yes! Thank you :) I need more videos like that!

Well explained! Thanks!

Piece parting a lathe back together to be Atlas 12"x54" regular ole machine. Having the slide compound from a 10" lathe, the BXA is perfect. That extra inch makes it all work.

You should start selling this as a kit!

Very nice. Thanks

I've this machine, and I use it also for leather. thanks for video.

Thanks for sharing your handy work, the socket adapters are nice! I'll make a set immediately, simple, yet effective!

Thank you for all the examples and ideas for tooling for an Arbor press, I'm presently updating mine to tap into the potential for many more projects. The felt lathe way wipers idea is win for sure! :)

Richard, do you make parts to fit a 1/2 ton arbor press?

Great ideas. Unfortunately I don’t have a metal lathe. I wonder if I could use my wood lathe to do some of the milling. I guess the only way to know is to give it a try.

Thanks

What a great video! I wish I had a lathe, so I could mill something like this myself. I have a cheap Harbor Freight 20 ton press, I've made a few helpful modifications to, but really need some kind of dies to attach to the ram. My grandfather was a machinist, and passed in 2020, and I think of him any time I'm working with metal. Thanks for the helpful videos, stay safe, and keep it up!

Very nice work,great video!👍🏻👍🏻

Excellent video. Great ideas!

Great Video! Thanks for sharing

Thanks, very helpful.

I dont understand , do i need a laptop with software to run this or is it built in sounds that need to PC?

Hi Richard, thank you for this great video. Could you share the model name of the Midi cable that has this iPad/PC toggle?

You really didn't need to shorten the spindle. The drawtube does not need to thread all the way into the 5C collet. Just needed to place the crank flush with the end of the drawtube, then tighten the setscrews firmly to lock it in place.

Does anyone know how to add reverb to this keyboard? I just got it and i don’t really know how it works.

This is a great keyboard. I have been using it for over 20 years now. It still works fine today..

maybe a plastic rod to grease fill bearings in blind holes to pop them out?

What is the meaning of the item numbers... 250-201, 250-222, etc.?

Cheers! Some excellent ideas well presented!

Thanks for sharing very illusrative

How did the socks hold up?

Sell it as a kit and send me the link. I need them

Can you send midi out to synths?

Great video sir 👍🏻

Everyone needs to be friends with each other like you’re being.

im desiring my own shop press, for a unique use

Thanks, that stopped my frustration from building

Great video! What did you use for the longer handle. What was the length and OD? Method?

Keep making arbor press videos b/c there are not a lot of them out there. And, this one has been the best that I've seen.

Thanks. Something to consider when I’m designing my radius jig for my 6x48. I’m targeting a long fretboard as opposed to your 1/2” end grain

Thanks!
