[dkemppai]

yeah, I'll never end up a millionaire at this rate

Or my philosophy of by high and never sell...

Finally put the finishing touches on the cold saw this morning. The last two pieces are a bracket and roller on the infeed end, and the missing piece of the "Eurovise" on the exit end.

Here are a few pictures of the completed machine.

Or my philosophy of by high and never sell...

I'm on the other end of the spectrum. Buy LOW and NEVER SELL

Nice job on the screens Bruce.

However, I want to see the Tazer hook-up.

I have some history with invasive racoons and I still hold a grudge.

A buddy of mine at my former workplace ran an extension cord to his bird feeder. He ran ground to a metal disk around the pole near the base and hot to a piece of hardware cloth a foot above the ground plate. He had some funny trail cam videos of raccoons getting a 110V "tickle".

Come to think of it, if I put a piece of sheet metal on the top of the nesting box, I could wire that to ground and run the hot to the screens! Oh, gotta leave, got a HOT project to work on!

I put a new spring in my Delta band saw (Woodworking). The original spring was no longer tensioning. I was not able to use my 1/2 blades as the saw was not capable.. so I set my fence for the drive on a 3/8 blade.. I needed my 1/2 back... I got the spring, and have not been able to dial in the fence, the aluminum fence had worn from the washers, and just kept falling back into the same place. So I realized I needed to make a clamping plate so that could take the wear, and just clamp the fence in place... that made it much easier.

Just posting it in case anyone else has the same problem. it wasn't much work, just a few band saw cuts, then mill it, and drill.

The washer is filed for when it really needs a lot more displacement for drift. So is the clamp angled. I put dykem on, but after zeroing the fence, I don't want to remove it to clean it. I may just hit it with acetone on the fence.

In what I believe to be a time-honored and cherished tradition of hobby machinists, I invested an insane amount of time and effort making a fancy center ejector whacker bar for my lathe. I was tired of grabbing a random length of round bar, and decided to make something snazzy. The sad thing is I went out there with the intention of doing some useful work, and I ended up farting around with this dumb nonsense until I used up my window of opportunity.

Wow, that's a lot nicer than the one I made a few years ago for my Mini Lathe:

and to good cnc router parts!!

What is causing the extreme fuzzing? Really dull bit? For dados use a down spiral, for through cuts use a compression bit. Feeds & Speeds: 3/4" material, 2 flute compression bit, 16,000rpm, 600"/minute. Onsurd has tables on line.
