Material for making replacement spindle sander spindles
4140 Heat Treated would be my 1st choice. Not sure where the galling thing came from, but I would never give that a 2nd thought regardless of the spindle material.- Dan from Oakland

Hiring programmers for Fusion 360
It's going to depend on weather or not you hire a Master Cam primadonna or someone who is willing to jump in and learn the software. Someone with decent CAM skills and machining experience and a decent "get ur done" mentality is who you need to look for. BUT, you're going to have to step up...- Dan from Oakland

Ballooning and report generation software.
Be aware that SW Inspection cannot pick up dimensions that are inserted in a drawing as an annotation. These need to be manually identified from a drawing. We found that we needed to be very aware of our dimensioning practices to be able to take full advantage of Dimension Expert's generation...- Dan from Oakland

What size forklift for 28k lb VMC?
You can always pick it with two lifts and drive the trailer out, just don't skimp on the lift capacity. With good operators it goes very smooth- without, things get ugly very quickly. Once its on the ground you can get creative. What does your rigger have to say???- Dan from Oakland

Shoutout for Sunbelt hydraulic tilt trailer moving a lathe.
Most rental places have those trailers if they rent scissor lifts. Some will not rent them separately but many do. Helped a friend move his lathe and Bridgeport on one. Don't even need a pallet jack- bolt em to a pair of 2 x 8 skids and roll em in and out on pipe. done!- Dan from Oakland

Looking for someone to finish two parts for my 1910 Mitchell
Joe- with a 1/2" radius in the corners I don't see a need to EDM these as they would be easily CNC milled with that large a radius. Only reason I can see to EDM them is if they were heat treated 1st and you wanted to avoid any heat treat distortion. Just a thought for you to consider.- Dan from Oakland

For anyone else needing to replace the belt on any Tobin Arp drive unit- the driven pulley is held onto the drive tube via a left hand thread.
