Good day, I've been wanting to post this for some time, but the website was being very buggy for me. A big thanks to Janger and the other fellows that sorted out the issues. Ok, in the "Dirt Cheap Automatic Tailstock Feed for Your Metal Lathe" thread, Susquatch and RobinHood are discussing...

Try googling- diy build a soundproof air compressor box There's a huge amount of different designs to choose from, and most are fairly inexpensive. If you spend more, you can make it virtually silent. And still spend way less than a new air compressor . Lots of people even mount the box and...

I looked at that one Wayne. It looks very nice, but it is double the price the original. I use hockey tape on many of my tools and other stuff to improve grip, so I'll try that on this one. If it's tippy, I can always make some type of wider base. Maybe as a second one once I have some money...

Thanks for the replies. I'm definitely going to be ordering one shortly. The mustard bottle trick is a heck of a simple solution, unfortunately I have problems with my hands, and I think the oiler can having a good handle and precise pump will work best for me. Being crippled really sucks, but...

Morning, I'm wondering if anyone uses one of these? I've been researching a good quality,long lasting oiler can and these keep coming up as top of the line. Made in Switzerland. Pump a very low volume, which is what I'm looking for for a coolant/lubricant can. I purchased a basic one (Princess...

I've been using it for various cutting and drilling and it seems to be working well. I actually have it in a precision needle tip bottle like this - I did so mostly because the pump can I bought shoots it farther than a super soaker and I needed to use the fluid without waiting that day. It...

Thanks RobinHood, now I'm not concerned about using it. I'll try different ratios and see which I prefer. I'm planning to set a up mist coolant system on my machines, but I won't have big storage tanks for whichever coolant I'm using to go bad. Small batches will work fine for me. boilerhouse...

Morning everyone, Well, my lathe and milling machine are finally in Canada. Somewhere between Vancouver and their new home. Waiting impatiently. Anyway, I bought some cutting fluid at Princess Auto the other day. I was kinda hurrying and I didn't read the front of the jug. Turns out it's water...

Morning everyone, Just thought I'd pass on a pretty good sale for the month of May. https://bcfasteners.com/ They carry many good brands of tools of all kinds. I bought a pair the of Knipex plier/wrench. It's like a super high end set of channel lock pliers crossed with a crescent wrench. The...

Lots of information there. Thanks. Ken
