What Did You Buy Today?

Just a tip.. Don't use that in a keyless chuck... Only keyed..

That’s a lot of torque gonna be on that tang.

I like good tools, but you Starrett tap wrench guys are starting to weird me out a little. Haha!

So true!

Thanks! I hadn't considered it, because I don't have a keyless chuck. What about a collet and loose belts?

Shouldn't have any issues with the S&D drill as long as the hole is pre-drilled with a smaller hole size . If it's a split point , no issues at all either way .

Thanks!

that's fine. The problem I had was that the chuck tightens on it's own. I worked hard even with a spanner to remove it. It did what it's supposed to, it tightened on, AND IT WOULD NOT LET GO .. I didn't know ahead, but I read after the warnings. Wish I had seen them before.

2’ length of 8” Schedule 40 pipe (.322” wall). This was $182.45 out the door.

Half of this is for me: making pipe welding coupons, 6010 root/7018 fill & cap, recycle pipe by cutting out weld bead + HAZ, making (slightly shorter) pipe welding coupons, weld on it, etc. At one point, the pipe coupons will be too short to use as pipe coupons.

The other half is to make 2 pipe coupons to sell. They will be 6” long and sell for $75-80 each. That is, $150-160 for a pair of 6” coupons.

That’s almost what I got for my 20x54 monarch but I think it would be a little to big

The DA was off of my LeBlonde 20" . Either a DA or a CA wouldv'e worked out great .
