I have a couple of 17 year old dewalts and never had issues with the chucks. The batteries on the other hand.. Mine are both jacobs chucks. The...

Interesting. This discussion, as everyone does these days, uses the term light bulb for what was originallly called an electric lamp. A bulb is the...

You are for the most part correct Paul, as rule the shank portion should be much softer than the cutting length of the drill and the insert should...

GoodreaderUSB is not Goodreader (the PDF reader). I don't know why they would make a 64-bit app for transferring files over USB, if they have only a...

My 18 year old Dewalt drill just died, smoke poured out. However the chuck which has a hex shape on the end and carbide jaws with the clutch in the...

The only problem with someone ELSE organizing is that then you must follow THEIR system. I inevitably find THEIR system impossible, unless it is...

Cuz yer got "sucked-in", paying nearly half a grand for what you can get elsewhere for the asking, or can get BETTER for a considerably smaller fee.

I could be wrong, but I think the theory is the hard jaws will bite into the softer shank of a drill bit. Drill bits are hardened on the working end,...

Needs a metric die for the barrel shank.

Me too????

What are you even talking about? The friggin drill is made in china. Dont like chinese stuff? LOL Yer screwed. JR

Curious. Why?? JR

Does the rank mean position in top X number of sites as I assume? If so, it is dropping off in popularity, which seems to accord with the drop in...

Yes, Photobucket is now quite "rank"!

You're splitting hairs. My handle will go into any one of nine positions in a matter of seconds. Nothing I do needs to shave nanoseconds off a job....

Any help? ...

As a matter of interest regarding what as been (still is?) a contentious topic - i.e. "Terms of Use" I have forwarded the latest (this week) copy of...

That seems like sensible advice. There are no improvements over iOS 10 that entice me to switch to iOS 11 at present. That could change, if my...

Why not just buy a metric tap. M22x1.5 ...

Well, no more guess-work regarding PB costs - its all on the table now. I guess that its possible to up and down-load so as to maximise to suit...

Yea, and a guy once told me that a cone on the rear end of a drill bit was there to properly center it in the chuck. That was before the internet so...

If I were paying PB $399 a year just to host photos (I'm not nor am I going to) I'd be quiet about it.

It is definitely an arbor press. If you plan to do any keyway broaching or turning between centers using lathe mandrels this is the press you want....

I don't rattle around in my shop. Space is at such a premium that even with my gut sucked in I'm in contact with something--A machine, stand, bench...
