OT: finger tips and indications of health?
To a person selling "vitamin" supplements, white spots ARE a vitamin deficiency. Alas, so is the absence of white spots. Yes, it helps sell supplements.- WizardOfBoz

What is this profile called and where might I get it?
Denis, Thanks. I initially was going to protest: "I don't have a mill!". But you bring up a good point: I could make this out of maple or oak or even plywood. I have a shaping table. I could use 1 x 1/2 inch channel iron, but iwth some of the other stuff I'm using I do want something that...- WizardOfBoz

Aluminum angle vs steel angle
I don't have a mill but I can get a piloted drill on my DP to spotface the existing angle. I'll probably then change to button head socketed cap screws. So it looks like my design was actually what I intended! Thanks, all.- WizardOfBoz

Aluminum angle vs steel angle
Hi all. I purchased, at a steep discount, a woodworking dust collection system. It's one of those with a blower leading to a ring with a bag below for sawdust, and a bag above to filter anthing that doesn't drop into the bag. Interestingly, it has a 2HP blower, which is more HP than my poor...- WizardOfBoz

Hi all. I'm looking to mount some 1010 (square bar with slots extruded in) to a pipe. Flat bar to round pipe. I was hoping that the part I've pictured below is available. If so, the title asks the key questions. The tube is 1-3/8 inch od and 1010 is 1 inch square. Thanks.- WizardOfBoz

Helpful feedback. Shars offers two levels of turning and facing, and turning and facing and boring holders. You can buy one that takes a 3/4 shank tool holder rather than a 5/8. Plus, I smile every time I read your username, Donkey.- WizardOfBoz

AXA or BXA for 11" Delta?
All, I have been trying to do lathe stuff without a proper, working lathe. I've asked how to do lathe stuff (like opening a 1.62 ID aluminum tube to 1.64) and folks have said "Gee, why don't use use a lathe?". I have a Monarch 10ee in very clapped out nonfunctional shap, an A___s (a lathe not...- WizardOfBoz

two sided tape for fixturing fiberglass
Hi. I have two identical templates that help align parts for gluing. They are equilateral triangles made of 1/8 fiberglass sheet. I have to enlarge three internal slots from 3/16 to 1/4. I was thinking of using a sanding disk on the table saw. Two questions: 1) What would the best tape be to...- WizardOfBoz

Opening up the ID of an aluminum tube
rimcanyon, one of the reasons I like this forum is all the people that have done really cool things. Yes, it sounds like Ferree's dent barrels would work - but probably only in annealed aluminum. This stuff is solutionized and precipitation hardened (T6), so I may be consigned to a spring...- WizardOfBoz

Opening up the ID of an aluminum tube
So, garwood, there are the spring loaded bar type hone. There is a flex hone. And there is a hone that is more adjustable .. Or, I can probably figure out someting with my (wood) lathe and a dowel. Any suggestion on direction? What grit would I use for hogging out 0.006 from the radius...- WizardOfBoz

Opening up the ID of an aluminum tube
I have a 12 inch piece of 1.75 x 1.625 alumining (6061-T6) tubing. It should be 1.638 (a little more than 41.6mm) ID. So I need 0.013 inch off the od, or about 0.0065 off the ID. The exact OD of the tube is not of super importance. I don't have a decent lathe to bore this. I don't have a...- WizardOfBoz
