Carding Rust Bluing
No need for VFDs, a very simple and cheap pillow block /pulley arrangement will work fine. A smaller pulley on the motor shaft, a larger pulley on the pillow block shaft and you have reduced the pillow block shaft speed. Some simple math and you can get any speed you want.- MDH

Home Depot is running an illegal group boycott of competing hardware stores
More than likely HD contacted the manufactures, telling them to stop selling to our competitors or we will stop carrying your products. It’s an old Wal Mart tactic. Then once HD becomes the major retailer of these brands they can then dictate the quality and price point. Ie.. make them...- MDH

Replacement of Lathe Chuck
Since I make a lot of octagon barrels, the 4 jaw scroll has become indispensible, it’s also a great “General Purpose” chuck, Round Stock, Square Stock, Octagon Stock …all no problem. Hexagon stock might be a problem. All three of mine are Bison, they seem to hold their accuracy fairly well...- MDH
