To heck with mopping... Assuming you have a "wet/dry" vac, use the "wet" feature to suck up any water and detergent you spray on. I did my...

My vote is for a thin steel ring with a missing part tack welded to the ring. JRW

Well I tore the carb down. I didn't see a manufacture's name but it did say "made in the USA", which I found kinda strange, as it is a Japanese...

Forget the oak, im thinking tiger stripe 6061...

Completely agree. My 12 year old is always asking to build something. Instead of fight it I encourage it and try to direct it as best I can. Learning...

Wow that was a quick repost??? Only joking but if you want to see the going price of what you might have missed? ...

I used a slitting saw to get it close, then cleaned it up with a 3/16 end mill. I'm sure the end mill would have done the whole job, no problem. ...

Jim, In version #3 did you use a milling cutter to cut the square slot for the toolholder; or did you use the shaper? Cheers, Norman

Lovely obscure part to find, had the same problem with my Bantam which goes from a 4 1/2 morse taper (yes, I know there is no such thing officially)...

I use a shop vac to pick up the worst of it then use "Simple Green" to cut the oil film and gunk and use a string mop and squeeze bucket to finish it...

Try these guys: http://fdk3co.com Clausing can probably help, for a price. I have also imported a few parts from these folks, for not too...

Shoot with a title like that, I thought you were going to cop to PMing FlyLo. . . . Cleaning?!? I got nothing. Jim

not in Alberta anything over 240v you need a Sparky, most Commercial and Industrial sites you need a Red Seal Sparky period. 600v is the limit of...

That's a hard one, Stan. This is just thinking out loud now... Maybe a garden hose connected to your shop sink faucet? Use a rubber squeegee on...

This seems very Fast and Furious-ish to me. Seems real convenient they were not approached by anyone wondering what was going on.

What's wrong with using a shop vac? Crap the last thing I would let loose in my shop is a leaf blower.

This does have a smell to it. And I'm not sure if it belongs here.

I'd sell it on ebay as Old-Growth Aluminum recovered from Lake Erie. ;)

575 (600) vac is the reason I have to carry a Lincoln Invertec V-275S welder in the service van, along the Canadian border, paper mills, co-gens and...

I have to tell you when you figure it out you need to let us know, there are items that something like that would look really neat on and now you...

I think your pattern comes from vibration introduced by the interrupted cut. It would have been interesting to see what would happen with changes in...

Joe lee, Bob S brought up something along the lines of what I gave thought to earlier,,, except im not thinking the piece was actually rocking but...

+ one on it not being the cast. If you can do that down a knife blade you would have a seller.

Here is the picture I posted a few weeks ago in the other thread. This is a piece of 6061 alum. 3/4" in width. It has the same pattern, I was also...

I bet there never were any guns. The writer offers no proof of their existence. Probably an insurance claim is being prepared. Paul

I don't know if this effect means that your mill is trammed perfectly or not, I think it's more vibration related. I suppose I could knock the head...

Isn't a synthetic liable to sweat whereas real wool absorbs the moisture into its fibres. It's akin to the machine cover debate - plastic sheet or...
