    Tips/Techniques Threading Basics from April 6 Toronto Meet

    Its doesn't look like they are online yet or its just kbc search engine quirks but its a good idea, I thought about that for acme inserts buy 10 packs of a group of sizes and then make up packs to resell them amongst the group 2 inserts per size would probably last most guys a lifetime.

    Show us your pups

    I believe we are all given opportunities to see nature in some of the most fascinating ways but we miss out sometimes because we don't take it in.

    Tips/Techniques Threading Basics from April 6 Toronto Meet

    Ok thanks, I wondered how they identified the pitches that it could cut, ag 8-48tpi sure seems a lot to ask out of a little insert but I did cut an 8tpi internal with it which was challenging but I was able to get it on about half way at the end of shift last night so a little investigation into...

    Tips/Techniques Threading Basics from April 6 Toronto Meet

    Here is a couple of my inserts I have the numbers are mmt16IR AG60 UE6020 and mmt11IR AG60 UE6020 would the first one be considered a full profile the not much of a radius on it but does have a form type bump looking similar. The smaller one doesn't have any bump so I guess its just a v...

    50's roll out of your pocket like 5's then 10's then 20's did. Received a nice 66 in a 50 tax the other day in the mail just my pleasure to hand over $80 more. Could have gotten a good set of adjustable parallels with that money;).

    My first big job

    Through the evolution of my work, I am becoming more involved in parts, recently it was discovered that the drawings of a couple of parts had an error in them an would have to recalled and fixed up luckily in both cases it was extra material that needed to be removed first off was a paddle...

    With all the fleur de lis and I heart Trudeau stickers on my car I would chance a quick jaunt into cowtown say when something big is going on like a CHWM meetup or a lesser event like the stampede but not chancing anything outside city limits unless I am going 140!!

    The way I see it's straight up karma Craig's (edit) unselfish work and great personality should be rewarded with wonderful outcomes and great stories from it. You don't get days like that working for a living that's for sure. Enjoy the gages, doesn't take long to find uses for them.

    Whelp, there goes the neighborhood.

    Nothing like a bit of space to get the mind wandering of what would go good there. I have to confess to some reorganizing in my shop too, I think I stared into the pictures of those clean shops too long and it burnt into my retinas! and I admit it now I will (gasp) be doing more, the worlds...
