Cats are best when fried, but baked is good too particularly with baked potatoes. and vegetables..

Any more info on this?

I would try it. Doesn't take a lot of time to make the threaded part.

Frankly, I thimpfkd that that is probably the best solution, that is, making a hob from a screw. I am curious (yellow), as alluded to by one of the members, the teeth should NOT be of the straight surfaces, but the curved type that match the worm as it progresses.

The castings of Stuart are generally really great, but the drawings have a lot to be desired. I realize that when the drawings were created, they were in an age where hobbyists only needed the most important dimensions--the critical ones, but I for one, want it ALL spelled out as that is what I...

That is the first time I have seen that twin. It looks rather large ( I mean comparatively), so I was wondering what the cylinder diameter and the stroke are.

That's very interesting. Can you post a foto of that gear. I can hardly believe they wouldn't put that necessary slant on the teeth. -- But . . . made in china

oH, Sorry, forgot that you said that above. You have made gears before? Why not make one yourself, I'm assuming the teeth are slanted for the worm. You have a mill? Indexer?

I don't get why that would be necessary. Machine off the old gear and mating the two? Wky would you do that?

Ah, I get it. The one I am talking about is not the race, it is a single ball bearing--the ball which is put inside a tool. So you get a rotating "point" pressing the work. The lrger the ball, the flatter is the "point".

I workt at a plywood mill. The veneer making lathe had a 500 HP electric motor.

There are lots of nifty uses for it. Just thimpfk of all the types of wood that could be shaved and used in various clever designs.

HOw would that work? I would thimpfk that the bigger the better but for small close work maybe need smaller.

Most of us don't hold that against you. In fact, I believe that most of us admire your attitude. In ALL learning, it should be FUN! The greatest learners wer, of course, interrested in the tiniest of details which are always fun in digging out. I might be 75 but I still thimpfk like a kid...

Yes, that's why I am intrigued with the ball bearing treatment. Have you seen those vids? I can find one if anyone is iunterested. They don't look difficult to make. ONe of the vids is of a person making one.

Whoa! So what are you going to do withthe veneer?

There's another guy regularly on here from Barrie.

I notice that there are some people, notably Russians, who use a ballbearing tool to run over their cut to flatten down any microscopic burrs. I'm intrigued with this idea and could see it would be a very good tool in many cases. I'm thimpking, one could try this, then use the mic and fine...

it is my not so humble opinion that you should always take the $$. The reason is sort of twisted, but it's like this: Not Live Steam magazine necessarily, because I have never bought a subscription, but for some other mags. Two mags that come bi-monthly, published by the same company and...
