I let the magic smoke out of my little 1/4" Hitachi 12v Li ion driver today. I've had that thing about 15-16 years and it was a great run. That...

Bingo. While the speeds and feeds were a stark contrast to the 316, the cleanup is a B&%$. The 316 so far has been really nice, albeit a bit slower...

Love ordering from mcmaster. Always feels like magic. Best website in the business too BY FAR.

I avoid companies that don't charge fair shipping...

2 opposite ends of the spectrum today. A big 6x1.5x55" bar of 316ss in one machine, and some "rings" from 2" uhmw in the other. ...

Great idea. I'm sure my Boss (and any employer) would love one hanging at every machine instead of guys drowning taps and drills in so much a9 and rapid...

I lost track of the times one of my usb thumb drives was washed and dryed. Surely has to be in the hundreds by now. Never once had a failure. Sometimes...

Model engine crank and camshafts anyone? COOL, great job as always. Somewhere far down my list of things to do a Linux CNC converted lathe just got a...

Ah, I didn't know mach couldn't handle g70/71/72. That's a big shame. I

G71 is a Z axis canned roughing cycle. You define your cutting...

Is your control capable of using G70/1/2 canned cycles? I finger cam all lathe programs and the G70/1/2 cycles are amazing time savers....

I got my first flu shot ever last fall and jokingly said to the wife when I came out "guess I finally won't have to worry about getting sick this...

Finally got around to making this motor mount for the yarn winder I've been building for the wife for the past year........Didn't put a lot of effort...

It's addicting isn't it. I put off a lot of projects I could do at home with my manual machines, but would take me much longer than I could do at work...

Cost vs price....What's the price of tossing something easily fixable with stuff on hand and a bit of time into a landfill? Not every hour of every day...

Hypertherm even make special gouging tips too that direct the air out the side....

If you're on the fence and think either will work for you, then it comes down to whatever you can get the best deal on. Not everybody NEEDS a "Bridgeport"...

Thanks for the reminder that I need to buy a propane kit for the carb of my generator. Would be handy to be able to run it from a more shelf stable fuel...

Both have their place. I bought a cheap import cut 65 a few years ago, and while I don't use it that much but it's very handy for when I do need it....

At work I've got a vertical one that lives in an indicol for clocking up holes and toolmaker buttons, and a horizontal one that lives in a short stubby...
