    DavidR8's shop shenanigans

    The radiator core has arrived! The fittings threads do measure at 16 TPI and the angle is indeed 74 degrees. So now to wait for the nuts to arrive. Meanwhile since I'll have to move the compressor out to install this in a way similar to @DavidR8 and while it's out away from the wall a perfect...

    JCDammeyer's 42 projects

    One thing I will miss is her supervisor abilities. To make sure IKEA stuff goes together correctly.

    Upgrade on lathe and mill.

    The driven spindle pulley on my mill sits on a tapered drive. The 4 step pulley slips onto that and is held down with a nut. To make a new pulley I had to mount the original and set up the TA to track the taper. Then mount the cast pulley and bore to the same taper. Next create a tapered...

    Air Compressor [LIKE NEW - only $50], Edmonton, AB

    That price has to be a misprint. It's not like it is a resell of a shop lifted item. Kind of hard to put in a jacket pocket.

    Electrical box cover - 3D printing makes it easy

    I bought my 3:1 sheet metal shear/brake/roller and a corner notcher to be able to more easily make boxes. The plan was to add XY positioning and holders to sheet metal to add punching to the 3T arbor press. I thought last year buying that small box pan brake would move me in that direction too...

    JCDammeyer's 42 projects

    I started off this thread this year with the news of losing our son Misha. That first photo at the start of this thread was with Dixie our adopted Stabyhoun. When 7 year old Dixie took up residence our 3 year old Stabyhoun, Anja, was none to happy but eventually they tolerated each other and...

    What's Paul up to?

    Taig or Unimat. Looks like both are available.

    Self dumping chip bin from a small CNC lathe, $120, Calgary AB

    Self dumping? Cool! Part of the new AI world? When it is full it goes by itself outside and dumps and then comes back? Does it have a ChatGP interface? Or does it know how full we want full to be? And all for $120.

    CNC Router table vacuum table kick starter

    I built one but as yet have not used it. I have a vacuum pump, tank and filter to protect the system.

    HAAS CNC file.

    They are generally extruded through a die. In fact the first prototype was cut from an old PC CPU heat sink. First modelled with 3D printer and trial fit. and a trial cut done in MDF. Used my JGRO CNC router with MACH3 to do that as the mill wasn't totally CNC yet. Then cut from the...

    DavidR8's shop shenanigans

    Can't find -8AN nuts. They do have brass nuts for compression fittings. That may work and at $1.09 each it's worth a try assuming the threads are correct. Their web page doesn't list that information.

    TOS Milling Machine $1000.00

    Got to be something wrong with it for that price.

    Shop Shop air line systems

    I did my shop with this: https://www.kmstools.com/new-line-air-on-demand-compressor-plumbing-kit.html Although originally listed at $199 for the kit it appears the list price is now $169 and on sale for $119. Way cheaper than copper.

    DavidR8's shop shenanigans

    Yes. I believe I could. But, at $6.59 each plus a few dollars shipping it's not worth the time at the moment. Way too many other things going on.
