    Aluminum thread repair inserts

    I am wondering what is the objection to Helicoils here. They are available, easy enough to install, and intended for this kind of situation.

    A two bearing generator can be belt or driven other than direct. A single bearing generator bolts up to the SAE bell housing and is aligned by the rabbet fit to the housing. It must be direct drive.

    Where does all the scrap go? How much those scrappers making?

    Usually this arrangement credits the scrap to the new material invoices. It is at a premium price because the mill knows the material chemistry.

    Torque Question

    Seeing these pix it appears to be a hammer mill type. The important thing is not to pinch the hammers so they do not swing freely. That explains the Lock tite requirement and no torque spec.

    Stamped brass oil removal.

    Acetone and all alcohols are polar solvents and very limited ability to dissolve oils. All they have going for them is ability to wash off with water. Any kind of tumbling will leave marks. If they are indeed bullet jackets then the subsequent swaging op will likely remove these marks. If not...

    What's involved with making a gas block adjustable?

    Tracing mixture of a lead bullet by the FBI.

    The same for markings on a fired case . With todays CNC machines one machine could produce hundreds of breech faces that would mark a case identically. Without a tool change I can't see any human distinguishing one from another.

    Anyone have a centerless grinding shop I can visit?

    The Dedtru by itself is useless. When you add the size of a surface grinder the Royal master is likely smaller. And I am sure that a make-do like that will not hold a candle to the accuracy and productivity of the Royal Master.

    Hamas strike on Israel.

    Your ignorance is showing. By international treaty access to the Black Sea is controlled by Turkey, or whatever they are today. They are allowing NO military vessels passage. Ukraine has eliminated at least 4 naval vessels of the Russian Navy. No replacements.

    Hamas strike on Israel.

    :icon_bs:There is no evidence that "Jesus Christ" ever existed. The accounts in the bible are by people who never met him or lived at the same time. The closest is Paul, about 70 years after. The other "gospels" were written 250-400 years later. No civilization of the time recorded anything...
