    Flamal 29

    One of the biggest losers in this whole debacle is general aviation. Most GA aircraft, Think Cessna, Piper and things like that we meant to run on something called 80/87. This was a low octane leaded fuel, remember that most small aviation engines used in production aircraft have their design...

    Flamal 29

    Not when you use charcoal! hahaha! thank you for putting this chart together! I didn't realize the O2 requirement! I went and dealt with my oxy and acetylene tanks last night, walked out 1000$ poorer for that.... I asked about the Flamal, and was basically told its a production gas, and that...

    Flamal 29

    Has anyone ever used Flamal 29, or Linde(formerly known as Praxair) equivalent Starflame? Their literature says that they are better in everyway to acetylene, but of course I am a little bit skeptical... After I got my last invoice from Linde, I am forced to move to purchased bottles from a...

    Another Oil Thread

    NAPA will bring it in (Valvoline), and Crescent oil in Hamilton Ontario will get you anything you want (they have their own brand, I use it in the antique tractors that call for odd ball oils). The home hardware lead is great though! We have one of them! Thanks for the info!

    Another Oil Thread

    Do you know what viscosity the manufacture calls for? 32 seems light to me. I'd be aiming at a ISO68, which is 20w or a SUS of roughly 300. I've recently just ran into this issue with an old mill of mine and went off the deep end learning about oil. In my standard modern gear head it calls for a...

    Brown and Sharpe No2 "Light Type"

    So this, must as my last "project post", will be a living archive. I in the past tried this with practical, but was , shall we say, less than successful in engaging the audience. I posted in the "it followed me home" about this mill, but for those who don't know, its a Brown and Sharpe No2...

    What size lathe do you have?

    I'm in the Niagara/Haldimand area. I will try and make it to the meet up, but quite honestly, I cant seem to plan anything more than 12 hours out without someone/something changing those plans without my consent....
