DocsMachine not sure if this has been asked and answered already... But, how often do you check, read, respond or otherwise acknowledge a message, email and/or PM was received? 😋...seriously though..😂

-Anywhere from minutes to weeks.

I'm pretty sure it was mentioned several pages back in this thread, and not much has changed: I'm a one-man band over here, and doin' my best. I check my email daily, PMs from the various boards a little less often than that (I don't always have a lot of time to surf) and threads like this... well, sometimes maybe not until my attention is called to it.

I do not ignore anyone intentionally, but at the same time, I don't always have the time to give everyone the attention they deserve. Yes, I 100% agree it's not good business, but there's a hard limit to what I can do some days.

Best bet is my email (doc [at] docsmachine [dot] com) or feel free to post over on the Tinker's Guild. There are more than a few days those are the only two things I have time to check.

Hey Doc, question I've had; any chance you'll be making Sheridan-compatible speed feeds? I see that you've already done a run of quick-changers, and I know I'd be in the market for two speed-feeds for my PGP and P68-SC...

-I had indeed, though I thought there was at least one guy 3D printing them.

This goes with the question above. I already have a fair list of things I want to produce in the coming year, and an even longer one of things I'd do if the opportunity arose. I try nd get as much done as I can, but again, there's just so many hours in a day.

o not hi-jack, head over here about page 9 and take a browse.

-Not a hijack at all. Jeeps makes some good stuff, and I'm certainly not going to 'get mad' at anyone for making something I don't have the time or tools for.

Is this song playing on auto repeat in your shop?

-Country?!? You must be joking. I have a tolerance for country that measures in the fractions of a second.

Worse, I HATE "joke" songs. I can stand most of Weird Al's stuff, in small quantities and on widely-separated occasions, but stuff like Wynona's Big Brown Beaver or Jackyl's Lumberjack? If those come on the radio, I want to jump in the truck, go find the radio station, and dynamite the transmitter.

I have a small MP3 player that I run through the stereo out in the shop- I also hate radio commercials- and the current playlist has a lot of Godsmack, Parkway Drive, Five Finger Death Punch, Three Days Grace and Silent Theory in it. Although I've also been known to put some fossilized antiques like Van Halen, Twisted Sister, and even Def Leppard on there.

Doc.

Carp I hadn't. Also, that looks sexy as hell but how does it work exactly?

[Carp]

Have you seen JC's take on the situation?

[Drunkscriblerian]

Ooh, neat thread has resurfaced!

Thanks for the quick answer, much appreciated

[DocsMachine]

Xe has it. A considerably smoother pump stroke is pretty much it. There's also a version for the PGP that makes it centerfire, but I've never seen a measurable performance benefit with that.

Doc.

When you pull the handle it retract the anti-return bbs making the pump stroke a bit smoother and easier.
It was originally an after market upgrade that was eventually integrated as a standard item on the later Sheridan's.

[Cal440]

I am new to the Sheridan line was wondering what makes the speed demon bolt so sought after for a upgrade. Thanks

[XEMON]

I have one of those, 6 positions, really sturdy and stable.
they are super repeatable because of the ratchetting mechanism inside (they turn 1 position forward, then backtrack to set into the ratchet to take the slack off; at least with the OEM control code).
but dont forget your calendars and MtDew warmer because they are suuuuuuper slooooowwwwwww ....

[DocsMachine]

Huh. Well, like I said, it could be "whatever Earon wanted".

X: I recently picked up a turret tool changer for a Compact 5, that I plan to retrofit to my Logan-based CNC lathe. Another guy with the same Centroid controller did that, and has worked out the hows and wherefores- it's not going to be easy, but it's known-doable.
