    DavidR8's shop shenanigans

    I didn’t want to be the smart *** around here but since I see that I may have company…..doesn’t your wife have an IKEA catalog? ;) :p Ok, now that I have that out of my system, they actually have a nice set with glass doors that both my S.O. and I have in our offices. It’s their “Billy”...

    Plasma cutter for under $300!!

    I don’t have experience with plasma but I would expect that there would be a recommendation of what shade value would be used with it just as it is for different types/materials of arc welding or brazing. Maybe the manual will have suggestions? D :cool:

    eDrawings

    It’s built into Solidworks if that’s your flavor. I don’t know about other systems but when I was working with PRO/E CREO you could export the model as a 3D .pdf Maybe that’s an option too. I don’t recall the work flow but it’s probably a “save as” option. D :cool:

    Replacement of lead screw on Atlas 618 Lathe with 1/4-20 acme

    FWIW, I was able to have Roton mail my order, saving on the courier and side stepping the brokerage issue. Worth asking. D :cool:

    Replacement of lead screw on Atlas 618 Lathe with 1/4-20 acme

    I’ve bought 1/2” left & right ACME from them. They’re good to deal with and quick, I’d put them on my approved vendors list. They’re also have some nuts of various configurations. D :cool:

    Modified steady rest - lumby BC

    You did definitely see some of the highlights and good for you that you still remember these fun details. I’m guessing you experienced the infamous Micmac Rotary in Dartmouth, it was a major job to replace it but it made a huge difference in the traffic, none of us miss it, LOL! Great place to...
