So far I haven't seen any mention of machinery rusting. You may need to consider the humidity in that room, and assess the feasibility of using an...

Every journey begins with a single step. Every belt grinder starts with a single part. Darn it if I didn't have the camera in the shop and forgot...

They're like built in parallels.

another welcome to the forum. If you haven't found it already another source of info is on the practicalmachinist.com website. They have a...

Mine isn't noisy at all, you can hear the fan but not any worse than central air in your house.

Another vote for epoxy putty. I've used two or three different brands, and all work seemingly about the same. My procedure would be- use mold release...

I have carried a Schrade ST1NB Tough Tool, for years and have never had a single problem and it has scissors. Got mine from amazon under 20 bucks. CH

I think Max has this right, the OP is looking for controls or ladder diagramming and/or "electrical", rather than "electronic" circuit drawing tools....

Synopsis---I'm glad this engine is finished. I'm somewhat disappointed that it doesn't have a better hit and miss ratio. Biggest finding is that when...

Bumping this up to the top, got stuck in the moderation filter. Nice looking mill, and welcome to the forum!

Max - I need wiring layout. Sorry I did not know what to call it. Thanks for helping make that clear, and thanks for all the replies! olf20 / Bob

What's the purpose of the angled slots near the tops of the jaws in that one? Never saw that before.

Great job Brian! I really enjoy watching your builds. Especially how you go about making items like the cams. It's funny how sometime we get in the...

A couple more recommendations that I found to be edge-of-the-seat fascinating, both WW II: Ghost Soldiers, by Hampton Sides About a daring rescue...

I had the same thought (as I always do) about building my own with cheap sourced components, but did some research and found out they are pretty...

Nice job once again Brian! Cheers, Jon

Wow. That's a keeper. Sorta like the $100 and up Leatherman tool.

The one I got from China is still going strong after many hours of use. I use it for cleaning my reloading brass now too which puts on the hours......

I just discovered I have a multitool! It was sitting on a shelve and I found it while I was looking for something else. It's an ESP brand as shown...

Yes, I would remove the table and inspect. Every axis needs lube, whether plain or roller bearing.

Sounds like the OP needs ladder type programming not PCB, although Kicad is great for that. olf20 when you say 'lay-out' are you refering to the...

The problem with using a general purpose CAD program for schematics is that you must redraw connections when you move a component, and it doesn't...

Many of the PCB manufacturing companies offer free software. The first step in designing a PCB is to draw a schematic and all of these free programs...

Just what do you call "well priced"? I bought one of these on sale a few months ago and it works just fine. ...

Joel, If you will read the #1 post by O. P. he said that he has a 3 inch vise. This is the size that I have on my Sherline. Clamps for Sherline...

I have a few cleaners from 1000w to 30w. They are very specifically tuned (good ones, Branson) and the inducers are "glued" to the tank with some...

The 4800w unit I was talking about in my earlier post is pretty much a copy of yours. But blue and with only the one power setting. So obviously I...

I know you said no electric heaters but I will recommend this one I have for a small shop. It eats electricity but I have solar so dont care....

Have him look at Express PCB. The libraries are what will have the specific schematic symbols he needs. If they're not included, he may have to...
