Aluminum sticking to table saw balde?
I find that work workers want to run the blade as low as possible, presumable to decrease the exposed amount of blade. However, this sure sets you up for kickback. -

Chinese lathe good enough for my needs?
If you have a ready need for it, I'd not hesitate to use that for a support machine in a fab shop. It wouldn't be my first choice, but it'll probably do for now. -
Tig practic. Do I need to have the gas on?
And if you LEAVE it on it doesn't last at all. What a paradox.- Cole2534

Buying my first CNC machine - Advice needed
Well, ya, that's the jist. I'd be looking for something like a Mazak Quickturn or an Okuma LB15. They're well supported workhorses that are available well within your budget if you shop around. Edit- I now see that you're in Oslo. That changes things a bit.- Cole2534

Need Source for a piloted 7/16" Drill Bit
That's going to be miserable. i think you'll want to do it in at least 2 steps, maybe 3, to help get a handle on the required forces. Anyway you can get it at least into a drill press? -

Tips for cutting API threads
Looks like I'll be running some API 8rd in 2-3/8" and 2-7/8" flavor. The part is some widget that goes on the end of the string, not really sure what it does but it doesn't carry much load. OAL is 8-12", material is 4140ph using a Tool Flo on-edge insert. Machine is a QT15/T32. Does this... -

Ot...ship hits bridge
World record bollard pull from a tug, that I can easily find, is 477t. While that is a lot of oomph, it's still not much compared to a 100,000t vessel in motion. -

Ot...ship hits bridge
Sleipnir here has a pair of 10kt hooks. Of course, it's sitting in Rotterdam. With a 12mph cruise, it's about 300 days away from Baltimore. -
