Through barrel flush project question.

Where are you guys getting the fitting to fit on the barrel? I may eventually build one and will use Hocut as well. Our entire shop uses hocut

They were almost all brand new in the package. I didn't buy the well used looking ones. I'm looking for an Aloris for the lathe and a 6" enco vise was on the Millrite. I've already picked up a 10" 4 jaw independent Pratt Burnerd chuck rated to 2300 rpm. No wear on the chuck. Looks like it was never used. Has some discoloration that I think is mostly dried oil.

That 10" chuck is a mite large for you Logan. As for milling vises, I'd look for a Kurt or TE-CO. Even a used one is better than a new Enco. Nothing worse than 'fighting' your work holding tools.

Remember , you have to have to have some knowledge of the work before you spend foolish money . This is a good time to point out finding a good teacher . At least to take with you to the auctions . The money you spent on less than useful products could of been towards your shop building .
The horse goes in front of the cart !

Agreed. I've bought a bunch of crap I've found I don't need. And a good deal of it I can't sell, because nobody else needs it, either.

I picked mine up on ebay. Just search for "Deublin rotary union"

Hocut 795MP-RHS is the stuff I use. Never had a problem with it going sour.

You missed where I bought a Colchester Clausing Student 2500. The chuck I bought is OEM for that lathe. Same as a Harrison M300.

My lathe has a coolant system. Should I just rig it with a split and run a tube to the rear of the lathe and use it ? Since the lathe isn't where I can run it I have no idea how much pressure the integral system has.
