Moving………. Part 1 … Pratt & Whitney Lathe

Doan — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 06:05:26 +0000

Moving under any circumstances is difficult…… moving an entire machine shop without heavy equipment machinery movers is an undertaking. Sue and I are relocating to Albuquerque, NM - so far we have three pods (one and a half already loaded) and will probably need a 26 ft. truck. The pods are necessary because they can be loaded at ground level -a requirement when you’re moving a 3200# lathe by hand. Yesterday Ray Del Rio and Gary Elisio’s son Jeremy (dad was in Phoenix this weekend shooting) helped move the lathe. This is why I’m not in Phoenix this weekend. Today Mike Tuck helped secure the lathe to the inside of the pod and move lots of other stuff. Any able bodies in Southern California are more than welcome to join the fun!

Installing Sako Extractor into Remington 700 Bolt

There is a lot of information on how to do this – what’s interesting about this project is that with a Brown & Sharpe Omniversal Milling Machine, you can take the vertical head, tip it 90 degrees and you are able to drill the hole for the spring and detent for the extractor, which eliminates ever having to change your fixtures. It cuts the time in half, and no fancy fixtures to hold the bolt are needed. I have yet to figure out how many axis this milling machine actually has! See Equipment link for more info on B&S Milling Machine.
