Huaweis Ban and the reprocustions
Honestly you serious, kinda the experts in the field, or like it always has been the telecoms companies. but your seriously suggesting we should leave the major technical aspects of major infrastructure to a electorate that can just about mash out a tweet?- adama

Huaweis Ban and the reprocustions
Honestly, i want the best, i honestly don't give one fuck who it is, just want the best. At this point sorry but im as certain as i can be someone is going to have there finger in the pie. That said, 5G is just a transmission protocol. You think 5G is bad, you want to look at how many scams...- adama

Source for backup batteries for 1980 Mori Seiki SL-2B lathe, Yasnac 2000G control?
^ Follow std practice and just check the pin out, pretty much all these connectors the pin - socket gets crimped onto a wire then slipped into the plastic housing, its not uncommon for em to be wrong from new! So always confirm. More than a few of the header style pin terminals can be easily...- adama

Huaweis Ban and the reprocustions
Yeah im not saying its not also anti competitive, if you ever follow the grubbier side of apple you see them colluding with all sorts of goverment agencies to restrict imports of legitimately purchased apple parts (google Louise Rossman) amoungst other less than dubious activities. Honestly if...- adama

Identifying small drill sizes? (when they end up all over the floor!)
Honestly it goes fast with a digital vernier, but i only have 0.1mm increment drill sets. if your trying to split drills beyond that and i know some of the letter number weirdness ones get eye wateringly close its going to be a major pain in the ass, but realy all depends on just how perfect you... -

Huaweis Ban and the reprocustions
Not sure who has been following the ongoing spat between the USA and the company Huaweis, From the tech side i do not get it, any one making any kinda electronic device can make back doors into it, its a well known fact most encryption protocols and hardware made in the "democratic" world has...- adama

Lubriplate 105 alternative?
My 1986 Bridgeport Textron who i believe took it over from adcock and shiply over here in the uk is a complete miss mash of fasteners. Plenty of BA stuff in the electrical cabinet on it, the rest of the machine seams to have used damn near any and everything, as was pretty typical of 1970-80's...- adama

Does she have the power?
IMHO there a bit fine tooth count wise, i like a SEHT 2" has 4 inserts 3" one has 5 inserts if i remember right. IMHO you kinda have more inserts cutting than you need - can power with thoes. I will say my Bridgeport does well with the 2" one in steel, they really shift some metal and are very...- adama

OT: 12V Solenoid/Contactor Preference
Gotta add im strongly opposed to SSR's, i seam to swap more broken ones of thoes than i ever do relays and because they nearly all fail on they often cause hell and all damage too. I see a lot of burn out motors and damaged gear boxes do to them jamming on, on wood chip industrial heating... -

Scotch Brite Flap wheel cutting
^ Why worn out grinding wheels are free and alu oxide abrasive the stuff in scotch brite tends to blunt carbide pretty fast. Coarser alu oxide just rips it off in a nice smooth manner, you need to try it. Its not like you need to dress them to perfection either, they soon take the shape off the... -

Scotch Brite Flap wheel cutting
Honestly, i have shaped em with just simple old broken bits of brick and such, bits of broken grind wheel work well, Not sure your going to be able to turn em with out tearing them, how ever sharp you make the HSS it won't be 2 secounds later! -

Orphaned controls, best to retro.
Honestly your and my idea of a good control differs, i like freedom to chose and have little more qualms with changing controls than i do changing vices on the machine table. Equally i own my machines to make me money to spend on nice things, not more ugly out of date OEM style cnc machines...- adama

The liimits or how tough can you speak.
Good forums generally have a pretty clear line and should not need all that much reinforcing. Personally i hate the notion that the subjects this very forum is about can be meaningfully discussed with out politics, like it or not but your local politicians can really fuck up your trade - income...- adama

Huge Air Compressors
No, most larger machinery running that kinda bearing would have its own small motor and lube oil pump, often with a cooler too. Pretty std on all sorts of power generation turbines too.
