    Clip thing what's it called and where to buy?

    like this but it has another leg 90 degrees off to engage a hole. I know I have seen them before, but can't think of where?

    Bandsaw Coolant Pump

    Coolant pump in my Victor Horizontal bandsaw crapped out. It was a Graymills 1/8hp 230V 3Ph. They are really proud of these. Found an AMT pump on Amazon for ALOT less $$ with the same specs, and appears to be USA made. Anybody use these pumps? Thanks,

    Where to get small Titanium tube?

    Titanium Joe's stuff is too big. Found Stahmann, another Chinese company as above. Why can't companies just publish their catalog and not need a special quote for everything? Thanks,

    Where to get small Titanium tube?

    like capillary tube. Around 0.4mm ID. All I have been able to find is direct from China and takes forever to get, if it's even real. Thanks,

    DC power supply suggestions

    had a 12V 100A supply at a previous employer, that thing could light you up! Found a new respect for 12V.

    OT LED tail lights

    I put LED tail lights on my 1959 dodge. As stated, not enough draw to trip the flasher. I ran a relay off the lighting circuit and powered the leds thru that, worked fine.

    How Do I Hold This??

    5N Aluminum Tube 0,050" Wall cast tube. How do I hold onto it for finishing operations without crushing it or "sizing" it smaller? Even in a 5C collet it seems to get smushed down, I need it to be a pretty tight sliding fit inside another tube. Pair of scissors handle in photo for scale...

    OT: guys with tyoe 2 diabetes, monitoring

    Wife used to use the Libre one, has switched to Dexcom. The real time monitoring via bluetooh is nice, you can set high/low alarms, and you don't have to scan it. I even get alerts on my phone when she gets an alarm.

    3D Wax Printing for Investment Casting

    I've been doing lost PLA casting for a bit. Using an investment plaster meant for gold and silver casting. Works well, important to have a vacuum chamber to put the mold in after pouring the plaster. PLA burns out clean.
