    WTB: degausser / demagnetizer - prefer handheld

    I'd also be open to suggestions re: how to demagnetize tools e.g. wrenches. Figured the degausser would be a canned solution...but maybe there are better ideas out there. To avoid a runaway conversations, I'm not interested in: - heating them - dropping/shocking them - modifying them in any...

    WTB: degausser / demagnetizer - prefer handheld

    Indeed; plenty of places if you want to spend that kind of money but I'm talking something made in 70/80's surplus variety...and a handle you can hold on to would be bonus.

    WTB: degausser / demagnetizer - prefer handheld

    I'm looking for a degausser that I can wave over things that have become magnetized...that I want to demagnetize. These used to be somewhat common in the IT industry for tape erasure and about the size of a small iron. Now....I can't find them anywhere and the landfill is probably full of...

    A lathe in the rough...

    I don't see a flux capacitor so it's definitely NOT a time machine....

    Fastenal Canada

    I've got a few dowel pins in stock but believe they're all SAE; if a guy wanted to make his own from drill rod, I have access to that in metric. Probably could special order metric dowels but it would have to be box/minimum buy quantities. If someone wants to toss together a group/bulk buy I...

    Bridgeport 1J knee mill - anyone looking?

    gonzo. Got a line on a newer 14x40 King lathe..price IMO is a tad high (4.5K)

    The best way to display your machinery for sale...

    ...is to put a bunch of your abrasive/cutting power tools across the bedways to show how the machine was really taken care of. http://www.kijiji.ca/v-power-tool/fort-mcmurray/14-x-40-metal-lathe/1243273343?utm_source=alerts&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=email_alerts

    Anyone here got a 3d Printer?

    ironically, I ran to ebay after I posted last comment and saw that someone was selling 0XA holders (pretty much identical) that looked just like that so it looks like a martketable idea. Saw some aluminum ones too but I think they were nearly $100 shipped for 4 holders...way too pricey for my...

    Anyone here got a 3d Printer?

    Had contemplated something like this: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:224932 Having a broad, rolled edge on my backsplash, I'd have to adapt the notch in the back to be 1-1/4 wide...but you get the idea. As for buying a 3d printer; I'm not there yet. Would have some occasional use but price...
