Is it necessary to use junction box on remodel lathe and plaster ceiling?
I am updating my ceiling light fixtures. The ceiling is lathe and plaster, and the old connections were made in the fixtures themselves, so there was no junction box installed. I believe code says I’m supposed to cut in a new junction box, but I don’t want to crack the plaster. Are you a remodeler? Would you just make the connection with no box in this situation, or would you cut in a junction box?
Junction box, no question. Code is correct and is there to prevent problems later, like a fire. That would make a small crack in the plaster seem rather minor, now wouldn’t it?
How does the numerical threading dial work on a manual lathe?
When cutting threads on a manual lathe I know that a numerical rotating dial helps you get the exact same starting place on each pass but what do the numbers represent? Even numbers for one type thread and odd for another or what?
If it’s like my lathe, it’s just a way to keep track of where you were on each path. If you enter on a "4", enter on the "4" on each subsequent pass.
And before someone comes and says it… Yes, I know that depending on the thread, you can always enter on the evens or enter on the odds…. but since I don’t know what you are running, it’s safer to just enter on the same number.
Turning a Mallet on a Wood Lathe
Highlights from a video made about turning a Wooden Mallet on a Wood Lathe. Available at www.CatchMyMemories.com. Project was originally designed for Junior High students but anyone starting out on the lathe will find that this can be one of the early projects they can make. The handle is oval shaped.

Is it easier to turn rotors with an on car brake lathe or to take them off?
I’m wondering what kind of machine most brake specialty shops use. I’d guess they use whatever is fastest. Is it easier to set up an on-car lathe or to the remove the rotor?
you have to take them off the car
What is the difference between a CNC mill and a CNC lathe?
Im new to CNC mill and lathe and would like to know:
1. The difference between the two.
2. The price difference and please explain why.
Thanks,
Ben
A lathe usually only has 2 axis control, lathes are normally used to machine cylindrical parts, the workpiece is held in a chuck which is rotating, the tool is moved left/right (Y Axis) and towards/away from the workpiece (X Axis) , some lathes also have a revolver head with multiple tools.
A mill has 3 axis sometimes 4 or 5 axis controls, in a mill the tool is rotating while the workpiecev is clamped on a table, the table can be moved left/right (Y) forward/reverse (X) and usually up/down (Z)
a rotating or index table usually can be used as a 4th axis, mills also sometimes have Automatic tool changers !
The price difference between the two:
CNC mills are more expensive because they require more motors to control the axis and motors along with the driver electronics are not cheap , also milling software is usually more complex
How do you get a chuck off a lathe?
I just bought an older lathe, and I need to take the chuck off, but don’t know how. It’s been a while since I’ve used a lathe, but I think you’re supposed to put a long pipe/rod into the hole on the other side of the chuck and tap it with a hammer until it comes out. I’m not sure, though, and I don’t want to break it. Any help?
Jacob, you’re absolutely correct. Apparently it hasn’t been THAT long ago that you forgot. It’s a tapered shaft, so it won’t have any threads to grab.
