    Well, he has a lapping machine too! Don't be harshing on the man... [#5, you've got a hand drill, right??]

    Need Advice: How Can I Break This Allen Screw Free?

    if you try drilling it out, wear good safety glasses, and ideally also a face shield. I've got more than one divot in my glasses from exploding drill bits.

    The light dawns! Drat, and is immediately dimmed by spouting taunt-words that you don't comprehend. Well, back to the grind... Psst: Bud, perhaps you should follow your own request and give it a rest. I'm happy to break off if you'll just stop nipping at my heels.

    Got a buddy with one? Or maybe this is an excuse to get a cheapy Harbor Fright MIG welder? ;)

    Need Advice: How Can I Break This Allen Screw Free?

    Be cautious with impact tools if you want to keep the original bearing, and you may need a slightly tapered bit to get a good purchase. There are commercially made bits for this purpose, I think Project Farm has a video on a test of them he did.

    Need Advice: How Can I Break This Allen Screw Free?

    There's a lot of mass there, a propane torch may be too small, or may wind up heating the central bearing too much if you take all the time needed. If you have a welder, clean the head of the bolt and a nut that's big enough to match the bolt head, and fill the thread of the nut with weld such...

    Yeah, as I said - cog dissonance. It's actually not a good way to approach life, but for some it seems to "work". I'll pass, thanks.

    The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one... No, not a chance. If you pull the right-wing BS I'll have something to say about it. There's a lot of bad stuff going on in that camp, and we're just now starting to see the depths of the rot. To not speak up is the literal example of good...

    You brought me into the goddam topic! What is with you that you would incite, then whine about how I'm not taking it?? Oh, and please show me where I'm being so mean to all the people who want to believe in the same lies that brought us 1/6. It's really so bad in your eyes that acts that were...

    What's your budget? You may want to check pricing before you become too excited about that turret.

    If the other side is Ginni Thomas or d. trump, then you've got your answer. Arguments based on corrupt beliefs and lies do not sway me, nor should they sway you. Not as long as there's folks who advocate for the destruction of Democracy. Not giving up. Not ever.

    If that makes you feel better, great. But it says much about you. The references you make are disturbing, but I will class them with those of a countryman of yours, a gent named Rupert. He's not terribly good at discerning truth either...

    Do you really want to be part of a world where telling facts makes you a bad guy? Sorry, not my style, if you bother to actually look at what I say and who I push back against because OF WHAT THEY SAY, and bother to fact check, I will come out on the veritas side most times. And if I'm wrong...

    This is foolish. I have nothing to do with EG, he is a non-entity to me. I am not a socialist, certainly not as you "think" a socialist is defined. Your primal urges to lash out should be tempered, ideally after looking at your own behaviors and associations. BTW, if you want to cast political...

    I agree that those that can neither open their eyes nor their mind will find it difficult to discuss or learn. It's a great sadness, but far from a surprise.

    I guess that explains the whole living in mud huts and having to scavenge whatever carrion the buzzards don't eat. It's almost like we never went to the Moon, or have a GDP of over 23 trillion dollars. That's a "T" folks, not a M or B. Here's where I point out that it's the sort of thinking...

    It's not I'm right, you're wrong. It's who the courts says is right, and who's in jail. Look who's being tried. Who tried to bring down the country. Who led a literal insurrection. Who turned a medical emergency into some warped political litmus test. Etc. And etc. to the 90th power. You can...

    You want to slam me, but can't take pushback? Gosh, there's a word for people like that. Something like "hypocrite". Yeah, that's the one.

    Utter and complete bullshit. Not only can I deny it, I can throw back that my postings were to bring a little truth, a little rationality to the pathetic nonsense so many posted from their mindless-Right slant. From the pandemic-deniers to the trump-humpers, who's facing the music now? Who's in...
