I was really tired when I asked this question. I should've elaborated.
I'm making some corded adapters for some of my power tools. For testing/experimenting, mostly. Also some playing around... Anyway, in the case of the Kobalt stuff, I plan on sending right at 24VDC to the tool from a large...
Can someone explain to me how the battery protection works on something like a Kobalt 24V tool battery? You have 3 spades on the tool that interface with the battery. Obviously positive and negative, but that third pin is measuring something (temperature of the battery?).
Cool compressor! All of the splash lubricated compressors that I own have the oil below the level of the crank case. In fact, I don't believe I've ever worked on one that had oil up to the crank. It puts extra stress on the seals and/or makes it more likely to leak oil. It's hard to tell from...
Harbor Freight, BY FAR! (Joking) [Edit: I do keep a Harbor Freight come-a-long in the bed of my truck, though and it's still working fine after probably 5 or 6 years of use.]
@true temper I'd never thought about putting Amsteel on a come-a-long. Not a bad idea. Beats the hell out of getting...
Oops, just reread the first post (I'm tired), You could probably just take a regular ball hitch, take the ball off of it, and use that to pull the trailer. Just get a big bolt or something for the pin. Hardened round bar with a flange on top and a hole for a pin on the bottom would probably be...

That's a tractor draw bar. This particular one is on a Ferguson TE20, but I'm not going to hold that against it. :)
That's not a pintle hitch. It's called a "clevis hitch". Common on farm equipment. Really simple. The end on the back of the tractor (draw bar) is usually just a bar with a hole in it. There are probably other names for it, but I know it as a clevis hitch.
It doesn't have the articulation of a...
Asparagus is pretty good. You ever tried baking it? Spread a bit of oil on a sheet, asparagus, salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese. I forgot the time & temp...
I broke a cast iron bench vise a couple days ago. It was one of my smaller vises. I think they're called light duty vices. The type with the slide (guide?) below the clamping screw. Where the guide meets the moving jaw cracked. I took a chisel and finished breaking it in half, beveled the pieces...
Pretty sure I know where two of those axle tubes are. What vehicle do you need the tubes for? The two that I know of need work, but the funky taper that you want and the flange that bolts to the diff is intact. ends of the tubes are messed up.
Edit: You're looking for tubes off a 30's or 40's...
What gets me is that I'm on forums that use the same format that Practical Machinist switched to and it works flawlessly for them. I mean... Tapatalk still KINDA sucks, but it's easy to share pictures on there.
LOL!
People seriously underestimate how hot epoxy gets. I bet that 30-06 let off one helluva bang! My buddy had a 209 primer go off (used in 12 gauge shells) in my shed. I was standing in the doorway and MY ears were ringing. Guess I was 15 or 16?
I'm FAR from an expert on epoxy... that said...
I saw this on YouTube a minute ago, and while it isn't machinisty, I thought it was pretty damned impressive and if you like attention to detail, you aught to like this. It's a model of a U boat being struck by depth charges. Watch the video!
