Hey Bill, don’t give up. If it’s true what they say about stimulating the brain to keep it active then there’s nothing that can beat learning a CAD programme for that. It’s the NY Times Sunday crossword crossed with Sudoku and mixed with a healthy portion of Pin the Tail on the Donkey, all in...

I’m thinking that would be a Geometric Tapping Head, aka chaser. Adjustable clutch and reversing lever. Adam Booth has one or two videos where he uses his. Edit — hmm, just realizing I’ve only ever seen the Geometric used for external threading. Don’t know if it does or would work for internal...

For me it’s been sporadic. I’ve not been forbidden to access but there have been occasions recently when it’s been painfully slow to the point I just give up for a while. Never sure if it’s on my end or not. Using Safari on my iPad with OS14 as of yesterday. There’s been lots of software (Win as...
