I just received happiness in the mail today! it functions beautifully well if you breathe on it, you may just get a reading! the price was too low to mention :anon:

I'm finally in the metal shaper club! i was told by member and good friend Bob Korves about a metal shaper that was available. it just so happened that i took Richard King's scraping class in 2013 with the guy that was selling the shaper! go figure- it's a small world. after a few digital...

One seal in particular more than others, a 25x62x10 the problem with this seal is that is mounted to a shaft, then the seal is driven into it's bore, but it has to be driven...

I needed a rack for my R8 toolholders and collets. so i looked around the shop to see what i had to make a collet rack from. sure, i could have just bought a commercially made rack- but what is the fun in that??? i started off with a hunk of reclaimed 1/4" polycarbonate that i just couldn't...
