The 6x48 belt and disc sander I have used to be like that. Belt seemed to have wanderlust. I finally took the the darn thing apart and removed the crown...

I'd want to see better pictures which are sharp instead of blurred and see it from a few angles.

I don't think it is a parting tool. What...

[BCRider]

That's a "them" problem though. Let's not penalize the rest of us that enjoy the big pictures and know enough to only quote text or even just...

An alternative to the so many pixels by so many pixels is to check the image for size. Something around 180K for file size will be OK but a touch fuzzy....

I like 'em all for a variety of reasons. Style is a hard thing to nail down. I smile equally when I see a nice old Jaguar E type as I do for a clean...

A rack under my bench grinders for the long stock.



This graduated length assembly of 4" PVC tube for pieces from 5ft to...

I'm with Doozer on this. It's like the poster is talking in tongues or I'm at a meeting where the presenter is throwing out multiple acronyms that i've...

[BCRider]

Yeah, if you're holding the stone at a set angle rather than rolling it you're stoning on the same sort of rake angle flat but still with a sharp edge...

Nice solution to your needs! We're an aging group. I'm sure a lot of us will end up with something similar for a few years before we finally give up...

As in actually dull them? I have to admit that I've only drilled copper a couple of times. And other than some thin sheet it was with these brass and...

Oh, another strike against nylon. It swells slightly when exposed to water. Some is absorbed into the spaces in the plastic. So if fit with just the...

Wood, treated or not, is never a good idea if it will be in contact with a surface that is wet much of the time. Plastic or metal for the win on this....

I like that.... ...

Tell that to the guy trying to use a hand drill on a piece of acrylic because he's fresh out of milling machines. A two minute mod to give the cutting...

And here I always thought it was just my magnetic personality.......

I'd suggest UHMW or teflon. You want the material to be a touch snug on the shaft or tube that it's sealing but without a lot of drag. So you're looking...

No idea about the flute cross section but the lower helix angle would certainly clear chips better. Especially on fluffy plastic work. Nice score !...

Badda boomp CHING! (that's the usual Vaudevillian drum and cymbal sound for a groaner) :d



Joe, a micrometer is used to gauge...

To be fair any lathe will spool up slower when on the fastest speed setting. That big heavy to lift and mount chuck is quite an effective flywheel and...

The eraser for marking knife lines is also known as a smoothing plane

As for the layout tools used there again watching the videos on...
