Glasses so he can see while grinding, but none when running a freaking chop saw. Wonder if the plan is to just replace the eyes with glass once some of that hot slag pops those goo filled orbs?

Had a great show. They all went quickly.

I'll be at the True North table on Friday if you want to come have a look. The FLG's And then, the Fotuki's

The best grinder seems to always be the one you want, and never the one you have...

You can hog WAY faster with a belt than a stone. I built mine that way too, since I had spare hubs, and haven't switched yet. It's not uncommon to take .005 to .010 off a whack, with .100 cross feed. .025 to .030 comes off in nothing flat... Send it back, and get it serrated, the couple of...

Fly cutter diameter is kind of arbitrary, as is wondering about the width of a nick cut by one. I have several fly cutters I made while in school. The actual cutting diameter is dependent on how far out you stick the bit. I can get the same cutting diameter from a 1" fly cutter as I can from...

If you bolted that thing together the other way, you could set the table at an angle for grinding well, angles.... Looks good, mine are similar. Edit: oops, I'm chasing a several month old thread...

Don't know why I never though of an O-Ring. I actually bought some special sized rubber bands for mine online. I have a TON of O-Rings... Ultrasonic is the way to go for cleaning stencils. They are so inexpensive at Harbor Freight nowadays too. The next bigger one is even better, it has heat...

.006 -.010" for me with stainless for folder blades.

Thanks Guys.

Walker, Terzuola, and others have really pushed the triangle aspect. An equilateral triangle being a very strong geometric shape. This makes a lot of sense on first, second, and third look, but if you really start thinking about it, picturing the forces, and even drawing out examples, it...

Here's an example of why "how" things interface are more important than "where" they interface. This is a representation of 2 pivots and lockbars. The point of contact is is exactly the same on the 2, but the axis of the lockbar is changed. So, the "where" is the same, but the "how" is...

Don't worry about the triangle. Unless all 3 of your points are in line with each other, the triangle will be whatever it ends up being. It may sound like blasphemy, but the triangle is almost meaningless. What is important is how these points contact the blade. For the stop pin, you want your...

I have 6 belt grinders, and a disk. I wish I had 2 more...

And here is the same one as Reactive Metals too. http://www.mpja.com/category/power_supplies/bench_supplies/0-120v_@_1a_benchtop_power_supply_9312_ps.asp A good company, that sells lot's of cool stuff.

I have good luck with the Clevelands from Enco (same coporation as MSC) Buy 2 and get free shipping with code FSCAUG As a general rule, I like uncoated, cobalt, with an H2 or H3 thread limit.

Personally, I don't even start trying to use cutting taps until #4

Here's how I do it. Set the clutch too low, much too low. Drill a few test holes in a scrap piece. Tap the hole, if it doesn't go all the way through, and it shouldn't, increase the clutch tension. Keep doing that until it goes cleanly through your hole on the first try, then go a touch...

That's a good looking mark. How does the stencil fare?

Don't forget that on top of an oven you will need foil, tongs, and a way to test your HT. More $$$
