    Lathe Files

    I bot 4 files in a local store called McFadden. Two pieces looked to be lower quality and were cheaper, 8.30USD (made in China), the other two: 8" mill ******* 10.70, 10" mill ******* 13.80usd. The last two are high quality. I tested out the cheapos and they are OK, but a noticable difference...

    Right. That was a pretty simple drawing. I would certainly not pay 100$ for something so basic. But industry might pay a lot more. Then there is the military-industrial-congressional complex which would pay as much as possible simply because they are guaranteed 15% over cost!

    Well, the cloud krap, they claim that it is unhackable, but that is an outrageious lie. The banks, the military, intelligence agencies, --they've all been hackt. Then when the cloud gets hackt they will say "oh sorry, it won't happen again", but in the mean time, someone has YOUR proprietary...

    Easy tool storage system for lathe splashbacks

    Haha, yeah I bid on auctions too. I've learned, however, that one must stop bidding at about 1/10th the cost of a new item, as the tax, and auction company have their cut--usuqally 18%, then shipping make the price unaffordable, particularly if yhou have to ship over 700 miles (about). Also...

    End of an (electrical) era

    The problem with the Chinese stuff, (alibaba etc), is the tricks they do are NOT done by accident. Them showing a high quality item when the actual item is a low quality piece is done on purpose. carpe deum. It's happened to me many times too. HOwever if you are in Asia, you can get on a...

    Actually, cutters are not difficult to make--tedious, but not difficult. There are many utube vids on this, e.g., This old Tony, I thimpfks Blondi, and others I've seen.

    Upshur's opposed twin engine

    I don't know you well enough to know yhour habits, but as we are all "getting up there" we should take as much precaution as we can for our health. My wife was on concrete floors for 25 years--she got arthritis in both knees. So my advice is, if you can, always have a stool in your shop on...
