I found this thread through the magic of google.

My tailstock was slipping and annoying me beyond belief.

Ricks tailstock clamp plate has replaced the old circular plate and works an absolute treat. Very grateful to Rick for the fantastic service and great quality item. Thank you!

Picture is of the old and new plates. You can easily see why it performs so much better.

Rick,

I would like to take advantage of the 2020 BASH discounts and order the sleeve set with the sanding mill. Please let me know the total and where to send payment (PayPal, I assume).

Thanks, jpw

Rick,

I'd like to order 5 pin chucks ...

1) 27/64" diameter
2) 31/64" diameter
3) letter drill size D - 0.246"
4) letter drill size Y - 0.404"
5) 13.3mm diameter (I know 13.3mm is larger than the 1/2 inch stock you normally use to make the chucks)

Please let me know how much, how to pay, etc.

Thanks,

Duncan

PM just sent for Tail Stock Clamp and tool rests. No rush on any of it, except maybe the tail stock clamp--but that's been grating on me for over a year so a few weeks is not a big deal!!

Any/All of Rick's tools are great. If he doesn't have a tool shown but you can picture it, Rick can probably make it. Over the years, Rick has made several top notch custom items for me. The latest is a purpose specific, custom tool post.

Thanks Rick.

Hi from Albuquerque to rherrell.
Trying to get a used Jet lathe going but can't keep the tailstock from slipping back. Need one of your modified banjo clamps 1.25"slot x 10mm bolt size. I see you're the guy who can fix me up. Need an address on Pilot Mountain where to send a money order, I reckon.
Thanks.

Hey Rick,

I have a customer that wants a new tool rest, with an 11 mm post. I told her to contact you, but she is not on IAP.
Can you give me an email or phone number I can pass along to her, please.

Thanks,
Ed

Rick for President. An outstanding person to deal with. His rating is "Perfect". Aside from his standard offerings he made an adjustable platform/rest for a WS3000 sharpener.

I notice the most entry dates are 2017....was wondering if you're still in business and if so I am interested in one of your Sanding Mill 2.0
PM me if one is available and payment instructions

Thanks Mike!!

Mike's correct, he's the one that started all of this.:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

As I remember, he contacted me and asked if I could make him something to sand blanks on his lathe because he didn't have a disc sander. I told him I would think about it and get back to him. Well, the idea for the design just sort of came to me out of nowhere and within 30 minutes I had a CAD (cartoon aided drawing) for him and as they say, the rest is history!
Mr Rick! Are the flat top tool rests the same length or a variety? Thanks.

Hi Rick !
I just ordered a Jet 1221vs which will arrive on Friday.
Is there a known issue with the stock tailstock/ Banjo clamps that is fixed with your repalcemnt items ?
Last year, I added these to my Harbor Freight lathe with very good results....

Thanks,
Ed
