    Tool spotting blue for scraping?

    Yup, have tried oil based. Worked ok, but not a fan of using brain dissolving solvents for dye removal etc if I can avoid. Canode is water clean up. Need whatever few remaining brain cells I have ;-)

    Tool spotting blue for scraping?

    Unfortunately the last time I bought Canode, roughly three years ago, it was not available in Canada. Easy to buy from US seller. On edit: took some looking, but found the contact info for the Detroit area business that supports Biax repairs and scraping parts and Canode dye. Ed Dyjak...

    Tool spotting blue for scraping?

    I use Canode blue. Also occasionally use their yellow to increase contrast. In my opinion, much more user friendly than Stuarts or Dykem. Cheaper too. Canode easily cleans up with soap and water on the hands and Windex on parts. Now made by Artco in US. Their’s a Biax rebuilder in Detroit I’ve...

    assorted vises and dividing heads, $1, Mississauga, ON

    Yes. High quality pre unification West German make. If not abused and complete with all bits, worth a serious look. Maybe not quite Schaublin quality so no need to alert Macgyver. ;-) On edit- oops, spelled wrong: Mcgyver. Sorry.

    Standard-Modern 1334, Calgary, $6500

    Purty! And glad I live in a different province so am not tempted. (Man that tool is stuck out just a little)

    Other Eron No.125 Bench Vise replacement jaws

    Brass is too slippery for vise jaws. Recommend copper. Did this a couple of years ago to the new to me fifty year old 6” Record with beat up jaws. I use the vise for general fab work. Bonus is it’s now a good heat sink for smaller tig work. Tip- sometimes bus bar copper is cheaper than same...

    Just for info- easy to avoid drilling hole in radiant pipes. Mark out their locations on the floor in January when they are hottest using a heat camera.
