what tool do I need to remove pins in a connector?

Last Day at my old job
Unless the reasons for your departure have corrected, why go back? You have a bargaining chip should they ask you, simply and clearly state 'this is the reason I left'. Fix it then we can talk. Tom- TDegenhart

10" Heavy oil to use
For everything except the spindle bearings, I use ISO 64 way oil. For the spindle bearing I believe it is 10 weight machine oil, but that I can't verify as it's the oil I got from SB 50 years ago. Tom- TDegenhart

Your wanting to buy an unknown product from the internet is like going to Maxwell Street and buying a Rolex...- TDegenhart

What's the deal with R8's?
Don't know why the makers of the original BP's chose an R8 over other systems but for the 1/2 hp spindle it was probably more than adequate. Not so with the 2 and 3 hp heads and marginally the 1 hp. Tom- TDegenhart

Electrical markers? Yes, 500 minimum. Ah, I will make my own...
Check out Brady cable markers. Use a clear piece of heat shrink tubing if you want better mechanical protection. Tom- TDegenhart

My $29 Trucut Undercutter/Lathe
Long ago, probably before you were born, generators were used on cars and trucks to charge the battery. A generator is different from an alternator in that the armature windings were connected to copper segments fastened together to make a commutator. The copper segments were clamped together...- TDegenhart
