I have a coupl OptiVisors of various magnification at arm's length at all times. JL...

Because we have the ability to do all these things, most of the time good isn't good enough, it has to be perfect. We have become perfectionists. ...

Please post picture of gums and Dr. 3 Phase will diagnose. JL..................

Pretty quiet running. JL.............

it was a 3' length. JL....

I noticed that also. When they sell on eBay for less than their catalog prices they also have to pay seller fees. Go figure. Gives you an idea of...

Get this.......... after I replied to the past invoice that they sent me (see post #53) with a polite letter and a copy of the paid invoice, I get a...

That's a really good point. I never gave it a thought that since the water isn't boiling what ever minerals are in it will be expelled into the air...

Actually I found that if I put a big sauce pan full of water on the stove and let it boil it raises the humidity levels in the house a lot faster...

Maybe some sort of leather forming or punching dies. JL...........

That was my first thought too. But how would you hold them in place on the end of a lathe spindle? I made a few out of PVC that push into the end of...

Yes, there is a float switch. Looks like a magnetic reed type switch. It's a sealed unit but I may be able to test it if I unhook one of the wires. ...

Not even close. JL...

None that I've seen for that price. Hanging a wet towel won't do a thing. JL....

Yes, the element is shiny clean. JL.....

The government could be listening too! JL.............

Yea, really! Is he related to John Wilkes Booth ?? JL.............

I knew I saw this somewhere. Aftermarket angle attachment for the Stihl pole saw. ...

I'll bet every manufacturer will recommend something different in their RT's. JL....

Stihl has two versions of that saw, a fixed one apparently like the one you have, and an adjustable one like your Chinese one. I'll have to look at...

My thought is side milling with an end mill creates a nice even wave type finish with high and low spots with good consistency. JT's second and...

The $11 shipping reminds me of what I used to pay for some of my orders, including orders with a 3' length of steel rod or two. I don't know how...

Don't you get a lot of tool deflection side milling with that long end mill?? It also looks like there are some coolant stains on the one piece in...

I must have missed your post. I'll bet those locomotive pins will cost you more than a good cylindrical square will. The other thing is they may be...

If you find a 3" dia. wrist pin let me know. I looked a few years ago for one that size and couldn't find one. I remember calling a Cat dealer. The...

Good points BC. I don't have to tap too deep. 1/4" to 3/8" max. I could probably use my Dremel with a small disc to slice a few grooves. I did...

I have 2 of those. Neither side is sharp enough to actually cut a thread in a hole. They are just for chasing out damaged or dirty threads. I'm not...

So I started to make a tap. I have .210 on the OD x 36 TPI. I didn't have a 36 TPI insert so I used a 32. The spacing is right anyway. I made this...

Thanks for the info guys. MT2, I think the proper tap size is 5V1-36, AKA 5.2×0.705 mm I've never heard of a metric tap being referred to...
