To reshape an existing rubber or urethane piece, I've always ground it. Makes a hell of a mess. And smell. But that's probably what you should do in this...

Ok, you say arbor size .75- why not turn a matching taper on the square stock so it can be inserted directly into your spindle instead. Maybe I'm missing...

I haven't done much with walnut, though it certainly looks nice. Maple is my go to, and cherry as well. My latest wood project used bubinga, which really...

Oh man. Yes, try to save the Onan. Maybe a few other things- but otherwise dig a big deep hole and bury the whole fricken lot of it. Then put a fence...

About the rpm- you do have the option to use a high speed spindle mounted through the machines spindle bore. You don't have to run the machines own spindle-...

Another option is to build the tube in a hex or octagon shape. That way you are only folding along lines. Either of these will give you flats for mounting...

Well, let's add in the concept of gravity being a function of the passage of time. Let's also try to equate inertia to energy, speed, mass, and time....

[darryl]

Well, one thing for sure- after all this talking and suggesting, the final choice you make will be interesting.

A couple points- for very...

Just a thought- if that gas was left in a carb for a while, it would varnish up the jets, etc. If left in a can, it could varnish up the inside of the...

Seems like the bar between centers with 4 holes to mount the cutter in would be about the easiest. A jig could be easily made to allow setting the cutter...

Well, there's a way to turn a cam profile, so the answer is yes. Between centers you can turn an offset, like a crankshaft, but those are still round....

lugnuts solution gave me a laugh. My neighbors and I have debated a couple times about how to get rid of a tv- still working- but no longer wanted. We...

Never had a battery explode, but a friend had an interesting experience one day. He was welding something under the hood and was hearing the occasional...

Evan Williams is another. Haven't heard from Allister in some time either....

It's power that kills- and power is current times voltage. But current requires enough voltage to push that current through the resistance. 12 volts generally...

For me, reading can be speed reading, or 'normal paced' reading, or 'slow reading'. I speed read if I need to find out if this is what I was looking for,...

[darryl]

So- it's obvious there are several ways of doing such things, and right or wrong depends on what tools you have, how your eyesight is, how close it actually...

Not my wife, but a good friend- I got a reprimand one day when she said 'what, do you think I don't know how to use an allen wrench?'

I bought...

I just looked up 'electronic circuits traffic light control'. A couple of ready-made pc board controllers are available under $5, and there is a simple...

Not more than 50 kg- you'll probably end up with a disappointing machine. Maybe a wheeled stand would be appropriate- something that potentially would...
