    Identifying an odd thread.

    If the thread flanks are other than 60* (55* as in BSW), it can throw off your measurements as well.

    I am on call for work on 14/Fri/2025. If I don’t get called in, I have the weekend off. I will know either late Thursday or early Friday am. I’ll let you know either way. Looking a the weather, it is supposed to be fairly cold. I can offer the heated area of my shop in the back as a meeting...

    Other Shop footwear - what's on your feet?

    These. Plus safety glasses & hearing protection - when I am working with / on anything. The cut in the leather on the right boot is from a 60” commercial mover deck coming out of its in-transport position onto the floor a little quicker than anticipated… I have been known to walk in the shop...

    Deckel FP3 LG milling machine, $5000, Toronto, ON

    That is one serious base. Should keep it nice and steady.

    Bullard Boring Mill $6500 Maple Ridge BC

    Probably would fit through the shop door; not sure if the 6” thick concrete floor would handle the weight though…

    Clarkson Drill Point Grinding Attachment

    That’s too bad. Once you fix the lever, you may have to change the V-notch geometry to fit things together. That could for sure have worked well. Too bad they bodged the job.

    PM sent. Just looked the picture of what you have: I do see at least one spring loaded pin behind the chuck flange. The indexing ring is off something else.

    Yes, I do have the complete drill grinding attachment (box, extra indexers & the manual). @thestelster let me know how I can help you make the missing parts for your sharpener.
