Richard Personally I don’t use them under 1/4 inch just because. I have some kind of a trust issue the shank gets pretty small below a 1/4 inch. Just my own opinion

Richard yes you can get them down to #0-80 bottom and starter taps and class 2B and I think even 3B or 3BX

If your looking at buying a mag drill look no further then Hougen. I have 3 of these one just used for taping with a tapmatic head on it. I have personally drilled through 6 inch solid steel with annular cutters without issues. But they are not worth ten cents in sheet metal they tend to want to...

Forgot something. I use spiral flute taps about 98% of the time and have never broke a tap. In my honest the only reason a tap breaks is so to operator error.

Yes spiral flute taps are made for blind holes And the reason for this is because they bring the chips up out of the hole

You surly are not talking about Tetranitromethane are you Lmao isn’t that an oxidizer for rocket fuel or some **** like that. I know it’s used to raise the cetane numbers in diesel fuel. But if I recall that’s not very stable is it.

On the Hemi’s we built we always used copper wire just for the better crush you get from the copper wire it’s really a matter of the type of build your doing and some personal preference either one will work. I just remember having some problems using stainless wire when ever we got close to...

Steamchick You forgot one important fact. We had to walk 10 miles to school uphill both ways with snow up to butts and with no shoes. Oh yes the good old days.

Why not just use copper wire it’s done all the time on blower engines and high compression engines. You can even buy an o-ring groove tool. I have used .035-.060 copper wire for this. Some people have even have went from .020-.125 wire

There is also micro100.com but I believe they are a branch off of Harvey Tool. But it’s something for you to look into Thanks Tom

What I see missing from all these procedures is to set your material on parallels on the same side as your none moving jaw until you have at least 2 sides milled then you can add your second parallel Thanks Tom

Oh I bet steam chick will have something to say on that comment lol lol you may have just opened up something you may not have wanted to lol lol

Do you have a rotary table if you do then use that with a end mill with a ALTIN coating I my self have to cut oil grooves or slots for non rotation in bearing races up to 36 inch Diam. Since you mentioned being a home shop I doubt you will have enough H/P to use ceramic’s but I may be wrong...

Any End mill or Insert with a coating of ALTIN this will cut a bearing race dry or wet.

Minh Sorry for just getting back to you. It’s been a long time since I have worked on a flow bench. But if I am right on this. I think this is the equation you would use to figure the swept volume of a cylinder. The easiest way if I recall was the volume of air ingested in a cylinder for each...

Minh I think my original question was supposed to be more like this. Are you sure you’re getting enough air flow through the intake system for the amount of fuel??? This is just an area that is often overlooked and mis-judged Thanks Tom

Omg I owe everyone an apology. Most of that content was for another site I belong to that was having issues with vacuum operated accessories on a truck. And got shall we say mixed in with this site. Lesson #1 don’t try replying to a chat when it’s 6hrs past your bed time and your belly is full...
