Given the quantity and depth of rust, I'd say this is a candidate for electrolysis: https://www.wwgoa.com/video/electrolysis-rust-removal/ Craig

I'm very much a newbie still. Still sorting out a bunch of stuff that I've acquired. I find it remarkable how many little task are required before actually being able to make something. For instance, I want to do a flywheel on a rotary table on my round column mill. But I needed to make...

Welcome from Oakville Ontario! What are you planning to make with your Myford? Craig

@Richard P Can you provide a link to CamCalc? An internet search turned up a Microsoft Excel based spreadsheet: http://www.buildandclick.com/html/camcalc.html If that is what you want, you should be able to use it with Office 365 on the Mac. Craig

I know this was originally posted over 5 years ago but the site is still live. And it is amazing! Thought it deserved a bump! Craig

How much brass drilling do you need to do? Diameter? Depth? Any special grades of brass? You don't _have_ to have a special drill...if you have a one-off hole to drill you can almost certainly get it done with any standard twist drill. If you have a lot of holes to make, a more-suitable...

The thing is that you have no science on your side. All your musings have been utterly refuted by actual science. I'm not going to spend my time overturning your trolling. I'm reminded of George Carlin's astute observation: Craig

Just to be clear, if you ascribe to such views, we're not going to be friends. Pushing the 'natural immunity' idea means supporting killing vulnerable populations. And likely leads to overloading the medical system so that people that could be saved die in a hallway, instead. Go back and...

Where did you purchase these? What convinced you to go with the triangular shape as opposed to, say, diamond shape? Craig

Hi Neighbour! There are some people that are happy with combination machines, but...not many. As a lathe, a combination machine isn't that bad. As a mill, some of the issues are: - not rigid. Poor finishes, chatter. Small depth of cut possible. Easier to break end mills, etc. - limited...

That is really nice. You wouldn't have drawings or even sketches would you? I'm particularly interested in the pivot between the dial indicator and the part being measured. Thanks for posting! Craig

I wish I'd had an opportunity at the power hacksaw...if it was functional at all, $100 was a steal! The bandsaw at $200 was also a heck of a bargain. Craig

This is absolutely untrue. Further, it is now a pandemic of the unvaccinated. The solution is simple, obvious and within grasp but for a stubborn segment of the population. My patience with them is wearing thin. They are the ones now driving the remaining restrictions. Craig Apologies for...

You might want to check Spaenaur in Kitchener, ON. They have an extensive selection of hardware. For example, they have 4-40 hex nuts in steel, brass, stainless steel and aluminum with 2 sizes (across the flats) and 2 thicknesses. Although not all combinations and permutations...

Could you supply a link? I browsed their site but could only find wheels with plastic hubs. Craig

SOLD

How are the bearings in the saw itself? Any crunchiness when turning by hand? Craig

R&D Bandsaws in Brampton, ON offer both bi-metal and "Carbon flexible back" blades in variety of widths and tooth patterns. You can buy coil material and weld your own or have them make the size you need. They are super knowledgable about woodworking use and I assume they have similar...
