Ya know what grinds my gears?

That's why I keep a few carbide drill bits on hand.

If you do not tell Ed or JD I said it, piercing with a small welding torch can work if you are careful...or so I heard.

Took your advice today next day Amazon prime on some solid carbide bits--it blew through the hardened steel like butter!! Nothing else I had was even able to touch it but the carbide was unreal!!

Missing 2g after a great launch...

Belts that should be decent leaving marks on finished flats! My 80g cubitron2's do. The 120g don't. Fricking annoying!

When I don't pay enough attention and tack the billet to the vice.



Good thing I wasn't going for penetration...

When company websites have a zoom option for their images that opens up a new window with the same sized image. (Yes, I'm talking about you, Jantz)

Buying bearings to replace the worn out ones on the wheel guides of my grinder, only to find out when I start to strip them out, I TOOK THE WRONG SAMPLE TO THE STORE!!!

That's a bummer...hopefully you can return them.

I was able to, thanks Sean. The great part is that, although the correct ones were larger, they just exchanged them for me without charging extra. It is one of those family owned businesses where you often get these unexpected, random acts of kindness. It is one of the reasons I support them.

Another thing: when I don't pay attention to where the spacer is when I do the final flattening squish in the press ....
especially after nailing the forging at the heel.
