    Four jaw chuck recommendations

    Man I wasted a ton of time looking for that thread, but couldn't find it. I found my notes though as the info seemed really good to me when looking for a lathe chuck and considering the contemporary offerings. Here are the ones that were in high regard for buying new today: Gator Fuerda Sano /...

    A question about the new ratcheting flex head box wrenches

    I don't know about what you are calling "new" but the Gear Head ratcheting swivel head combo wrenches I have are top notch. Mine are about 15+ years old, metric and standard sets. Not sure if the quality has changed but I am a pretty serious gear head working on everything from vintage...

    Four jaw chuck recommendations

    There was a thread recently about good chucks in the "General" section. Those guys were mentioning brands I never heard of that they really liked, all Asian names. See if you can find it, it will give you some options. The Sanou (sp?) mentioned in here was liked.

    Where does the term "Fillister" (as in Fillister Head") comes from?

    All I know is that a good Pan Head Screw can be turned down to make one!

    Local trucking - Oahu

    Another lead. I just left a client and he was taking a delivery from Aloha Freight. He recommended and gets a lot of steel and welding materials delivered from various places. I was impressed because the driver called 5 minutes before he got there and was on time and also asked for help to...

    SB Drill Press Multi-Speed Attachment

    I know that a functional part wouldn't have to be as elegant as the SB part but usually I go for the aesthetics since I have time.

    Local trucking - Oahu

    I've used a bunch of them. Can you be more specific? Are these empty pallets? Is this a delivery to a gate or inside the base? You might call DHX in Honolulu and see what they can do. Local Office 808.841.7311 or [email protected] For my personal smaller stuff I really like this guy who...

    Advice for the greenest student imaginable

    This is the strangest thread I have seen in a long time. I don't understand the OP or any of the responses. Maybe I am too green at trolling? Insensitive? Either way it's clear that there are a lot of people on here that are willing to help out those with questions, so that is nice too see since...

    SB Drill Press Multi-Speed Attachment

    There is another forum I look at sometimes that approaches projects like this as a "group" project. They get a tally of how many people want one and then figure out a design. People look at the parts list and see what parts they could make and it gets group fabricated piecemeal. Each person...

    OT: warning GE fridges do not work

    That sucks, We've always had high end stuff until this last house, big fan of basic sub-zeros like the model 690 but anyway the place we have now was a rental and so I have a full suite of very not fancy GE everwhere, it's ugly, it's simple, it looks cheap but you know what? It works pretty darn...

    Large Diameter (12-16") Smooth Surface Stainless Drum - Need Ideas arbor

    I like the stock pot idea! Overstock.com might have one for cheap. Don't understand the arbor requirement, how fast does it spin? The bottoms of a lot of the stock pots can be thick. Can you use one that has a copper sandwich bottom? Those are even thicker. Is the axle like the handle on this bell?

    Another third world machining video - but well done!

    When he is turning the diameters down on the crank halves, why does he rough in a taper first? Ah I watched a little farther and I see that he was looking for relief to weld downstream but it seemed odd to me.
