    Tool My name is…and I’m a tool junkie

    I was a hoarder when it came to cars, my wife said that I had bought one too many Triumph GT6s, and then bought 6 more. I’m much better now, I only have 2 Early Broncos, I MG Midget, 1 GT6, 3 Terra Jets……

    ever had one of those nights?

    I can’t help growing old, but at least I can stay immature.

    ever had one of those nights?

    That’s commitment, I opted for a medium range grinder with 60 settings from Turkish powder at 1 to espresso range between 7 -10.My wife is used to the episodes and doesn’t mind me being fixated on Coffee, better than sitting in a Casino for days playing Pai Gow poker.

    ever had one of those nights?

These are carbon steel, for those ubiquitous Enco vertical/ horizontal bandsaws. These will work fine when in the vertical position on the platen but...

The mist also diminishes the air quality. Acculube became popular with micro drop “mist “ of a...

    Metal working - dry / lubricants / coatings / cooling mist

    I have lots of friends with machine shops, I beg way lube, water soluble coolant tapping compounds from them. A lot of shops won’t mind handing over a litre of emulsifiable coolant if you have a container, then you can make up your own water to oil ratios. Oddly very few shops seem to have...

    Keyless Chucks

    Been there, done that, just by driving a 3/8 tap, toasted a perfectly good Albrecht trying to get it unstuck, also a little impatience and being rammy contributed.
