Had to laugh at this. Really stuck bolts on a hydraulic cylinder. Two guys pulling on a huge, say 20', snipe and this was after heating the bolts. All the torque in the world says the narrator. Imagine shearing it off - then how do you get in there to drill it out?

@kevin.decelles you have a home made EDM you have been working on. Could it make cuts like Sun is doing above?

Sun - How long does it take the EDM to make one of those cuts? Cool parts for sure.

That is a great warranty! No I didn't know that. Good to know @Ironman ... if one has the receipt...:(;) . I suppose I could go look in the file and see.

I have a single handle Moen faucet - like all faucets it eventually needs maintenance. It was dripping and spurting every time you used it. I looked at youtube and mostly saw people buying parts and putting them in. Also people, with various degrees of success, were trying to get Moen to send...

Is the power rating on these machines important? I see 60W 120W 240W.... or far less. Some machines with dials instead of electronic pads .... I like dials. I want to clean out parts and such, not fine things like jewellery.

That one Tom posted is 14" high and almost 7" in diameter! maybe 155 pounds. It's huge! Edit - I see there are two pictures and it is actually hollow. so not 155 pounds. what would one do with a cylinder square this large?

@Mcgyver bicycles! What kind? I want to see the bicycles :)

While using the heat gun I inadvertently wrecked the little dial showing filament movement. I printed a new one in 2 colours to see if I’ve got it working again. Printer looks ok, there is some filament lurking on the head under the rubber boot.

I got it going again! yay! cleaned up pretty good - not 100% but the printer is printing.

Maybe like this. That is a good idea. 22rpm. loads of torque I would assume. https://www.amazon.ca/VEVOR-Electric-Threading-Heavy-Duty-Hand-Held/dp/B0B7BMR762/

I had a failed print and the filament ended up encasing the print heat wires etc. I’m using a heat gun to try to gently melt it and wipe it off with brushes pliers etc. the print head won’t heat up - it starts to then a light starts flashing and it cools back down. Any advice?

Hey that's hilarious! Where is that chicken lights do you recall? I feel your pain though. :p

I like super clean too. Solvents and petro chemicals are toxic and potentially flammable - don't get them on your skin or breathe the fumes.That is similar to drinking sips of it. Gloves...charcoal filter respirators... I stay away if possible. Ultrasonic cleaners are another approach but your...
