So very true! Although the NLGI CC/LB greases are designed to withstand a certain level of water washout, they too are a compromise. Just as the...

adding my voice to the choir - I bought a used Milwaukee M18 hammer drill/ impact driver kit for $130 a year ago and love it to bits. I've used the...

Every time I pick up my Milwaukee Drill, I kick my self.. After over 20 years of having every other brand (almost) of battery power, I bought a...

I don't think that's true - at least not for me - some made some very good points and like i said it had an effect on me and changed my thinking on a...

It's about time this thread got shut down, nobody is going to give an inch in any direction.

Looks like BT 40 or 50, I don't see any tooling for the Bridgeport head. A sturdy vise and a rotary table are big plusses and lots of other things...

My vote is for Milwaukee. I had a 14volt drill for many years that served me well. Just sold it about a week ago because I had bought a new 18volt...

It is but you still have to be careful - for instance he did mention trailers and marine grease so in case he's talking about boat trailers by all...

That is correct. Heat? Shoudn't be any from the gears etc. Rattly noise is typically from the dog engagement when you are in high gear. ...

I can't quite visualise the setup. Follow rests are usually fixed to the saddle of the lathe, if they were part of the tool post, they would move...

I switched from Makita to Milwaukee nearly 20 years ago, and almost all my drills corded and cordless are Milwaukee except for a couple very old...

I agree 100% with Willy. I'd wager that today's lubricant technology is far superior to what it was even 20 years ago. In the applications you...

Make sure it uses a lithium battery and be aware that brushless motors often result in a more compact drill. Look out for a system of different...

Hi If you are using a chainsaw from the harvester you are going to make your wife very happy with your bedding production. Bert

Have you tried Misumi USA? They have some very useful hardware and have a wide range of rivet items. Much of it made in Japan. Max.

Appreciate the comments. Apologies for the vagueness. It's a Cincinnati 10 X 24 and it is on a skid - I just learned about the skid. Trip will be...

Is it possible to mill the cover to contain the scale,would save having to modify casting and would allow easy battery access by moving DRO out a...

Slotting heads are worth the weight in gold, almost ;) A working one in the UK would easily fetch £500 alone.

Thanks for the info, it has been on CL for about a month and I have been watching and thinking. Would need to figure out where to put it and how to...

I agree that one can get a bit anal when it comes to lubricants. It usually ends up that you end up with a grease gun graveyard full of half spent...

At the risk of offending did you make sure you grabbed the right tap?

Here is the steering knuckle design. It didn't matter whether I tapped before or after welding the inserts at the top and bottom of the knuckle.

Hi, Yep, easy to sharpen, a bear to get them set correctly. I always sent adjustable reamers out for sharpening.

When slagging off British shipping companies, may I point out that half of them we use over here are originally US companies, so probably half the...

There's also a danger in ignoring the fact of by far no questions of whats being used the vast majority of the times this happens, and there's...
