    #7-30 Threading Die

    A trip down the 401 to Lake Erie South of Chatham for burgers and a custom screw sounds like a day well spent. Edit CRAP - I didn't see @Dan Dubeau offer till after posting. I bet my burgers are better than his........

    BXA toolholders

    I have BXA as well. I buy toolholders in bulk orders (usually 3 or 5 or 10). You can get 5/8 and 3/4 inch (called tall) as well as boring bar holders etc. lots of options. I've been very happy with the ones I got from Accusize. This is only a temporary problem. The best cure is to just give...

    I completely agree. The good old days were mostly not. Let me just name two huge factors that come to mind. Death rate per capita was higher. Crime rate per capita was higher. I didn't ask for good things, just things that were different. I do wonder which way the future will go. Depending...

    Indexing Dividing Head, 6 inch, 3 Jaw Chuck, $425, Calgary, AB

    Ya, I could. But it's a PIA. Besides, I figure 14 is big enough. Fact is I've never needed more than the 10 I have.

    Indexing Dividing Head, 6 inch, 3 Jaw Chuck, $425, Calgary, AB

    About 5 inches assuming 1/2" for clamping. Much more with through bolts basically only limited by the rigidity of the part, the size of the mill, and the hold down method. @CWret demoed a fixture plate that he used to turn his rotary table into a much bigger one. I plan to make a similar plate...

    Oh man can I ever relate to that! How many hours have I wasted looking for one brass in a snow drift. I even remember marking the spot with sticks once so I could look again after the big melt. Ya, only those of us who ordered brass over the phone or by snail mail could appreciate that......

    Not bad really...... Hollering was better but didn't have the privacy that cans did.

    Sadly, all of mine are gone. Even the little wrenches are gone. I don't even know where they went. Prolly got trashed in a giant celebration the day I left home.
