    Tool TTS tool tightening fixture

    These look fairly new, I'm either going to make one, or wait until Ali/eBay start selling them. Assume I'm going to make one, how much undersized should I bore the hole to make sure the bearing won't spin with say 75-100 ft-lbs of torque? Aluminum or steel for the block, seems like getting a...

    Which Linux? Be Kind…

    I was going to use a rPi for my lathe, I went as far as installing LinuxCNC, however I wanted a touchscreen and after three attempts from Amazon cheap but good touchscreens don't seem to co-exist. Someone on the Linux forum suggested looking for a used Lenovo Yoga, so I did and found one for...

    Milling machine and accessories, $1,000

    The car is gone. It was priced to sell. I hope it works out well for the guy. I'm not a huge Hyundai fan, and yes used Hyundai prices fall like a rock. The heated steering wheel was a nice touch, but I much prefer bombing around in my 20 year old Toyota. Now back to my regularly scheduled...

    It will probably happen again. There was an icy curve next to a city fence on my way to work years ago, that fence was knocked down countless times, usually a few times every winter, year after year. Rebuild - Crash - Rebuild......
