I'm finishing up my finger grinding fixture for my sheet metal brake fingers. I ground all three of the pieces. Every piece is flat and square to within...

I think two things contributed to your failure.
One being the bearings of the router and or it's mount, and two the jaws being loose in the chuck...

I have fused things like that in the past and found that as I'm welding around the part a crack starts as the material cools behind the weld pool. The...

Yes, I was aware of it but was curious to see what your opinion was for the storage issue.

I don't use grease like I used to in the past...

I don't know much about plating either but would it be easier to buy the nickel plating solution rather than trying to unplate / dissolve it off of one...

The B600 is the smaller model, but should have enough table travel to cover the bar.

That's going to be very time consuming. How are you going to go off the ends of your hex bar with the wheel ?

A rotary table would be a wise...

I have to question that too. How do you really recycle it?? maybe repurpose is a better word? You can't melt it down and use it over again. Unless there...

I don't think that any grinder mfg. worries about the spindle being perfectly parallel with the table. Maybe within a couple thou but not tenths. Every...

This is the bearing packer I made for greasing shielded bearings. It works great. It covers several different size bearings. All I have to do is make...
