    Installing compressed air lines in commercial space, any guidelines?

    I'm in a new space and I'd like to have the air lines run properly. All I know is I think some of it has to be rigid for the reason if there's a fire, it won't melt and result in fanning the flames. The rapid air stuff seems like a box check in this regard, and I don't want to use it. Where...

    The interlock is a Euchner STP-BI-3A I believe. Tuning fork looking thing goes in and is locking with spindle on. I found a triangle bit key on the sensor which when rotated unlocks it. This is great, door can be opened when machine is off. But when I power it up, I get an error and the...

    Fret Marks on Finisher Toolholder - Speedio

    I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I happened to check the toolholder that my finisher (for AL) lives in and I find fret marks. It's not all that old and has only housed a couple end mills. I don't do much besides finish passes with it. I run it at 8000 RPM and 80 IPM so about 3 thou per...

My speedio uses an isolation transformer and the X0 had to be connected to neutral to get the 3 phases to be equal. Correct my if I'm wrong, but I'd think this one...

    I created this little gadget. For a long while, I had been using some key ring spring plungers to replace the set screw spring plunger that comes with the vise jaws. I got tired of going at them with the t handle wrench every time to swap things out. Spring plungers work great. They offer a...
