    CA-AB Way oil

    I seem to recall a while back someone was trying to sell or share some portion of way oil that wasn't getting consumed fast enough. I cant seem to find the post, so maybe it was a conversation?

    Machineries handbook etc

    I have the 25th edition ~7"x5" format. Although its the classic wealth of information, increasingly find it a PITA to look for things to the point I usually go on the internet first.

    Bench magnifier lens

    I was eyeing some on Amazon but they have mixed quality reviews & some play games with lens size vs frame size.

    foam for custom cases

    I'm lurking on Amazon for ideally 1/2" & 1/4" but this seems rather expensive on a $/volume basis. I want to make some foam cut outs from sheet stock for instrumentation type protection. Would this be better sourced at a local plastic supply store, or is the material just plain expensive? I...

    Tips/Techniques Manual speed control for brushless spindle

    These brushless motor kits come in a variety of flavors between 500-900? watts. I think some of you might even be running one? I'm starting to think they are not created equal. My question is if I want to vary speed with a manual knob (vs driven through software in CNC application) what am I...
