There you go, just what I said they would be

I've not seen metal poured plugs before, certainly not on the three Buck 4 jaws I've owned. I do remember one 4 jaw (not sure if Buck or not) that had...

That's an incredibly cheap spot welder, seems to do pretty well from the reviews though since said it won't spot weld pure nickel strips (lower resistance)...

10S4P, for a Giant e road bike. I use the charger that came with it at work and a cheapie at home. My RC charger tops out at 6S

Sadly the...

Neato! What's the link for the spot welder, be interesting to read the specs. I've made quite a few packs with mine (malectrics + 75C lipo). If you split...

With jaws, sort of. Very few references to them, this was the best I found https://www.practicalmachinist.com/f...-faceplates.13...

South bend made a face plate just like that, don't see many of them around though. The guy I got my SB9 from had one but he didn't want to sell it for...

I've tried soda stream bottles by weighing out 300g of crushed dry ice, sealing the bottle back up and letting it sublimate in the bottle. Worked great...

Yep, it wouldn't have happened without Stepside ...

thanks, it did help me feel better, though it didn't help with the duff battery. It's still duff - new one should be here by Friday hopefully. Next up...

My SB heavy 9 didn't come with a threading dial back in the day and not having one was a pain, so my friend Stepside was awesome and made me the gear,...

I think a better way of thinking about it is the 1um helps you hit 0.001" more easily. It's less about hitting tenths - most lathes we might work...

[mattthemuppet]

Very nice, beautiful shine to it too. Are you going to clear coat it? Or is polishing it part of the upkeep of the car?

[mattthemuppet]

It does jitter a bit, but I'm typically not looking at the lower read out (cross) when I'm feeding towards them chuck so it doesn't bother me. I have...

I have a 1um glass scale on my sb9 cross slide. I'm not sure I've much needed the extra resolution, but I'm not particularly bothered by the last digit...

Static balancing is pretty easy. Four skate board bearings, some wood and a few screws and you're good to go. Not as good as dynamic balancing, but it'll...

If you did that there wouldn't be much of a forum...
