    Headstock Bearing Races

    If you're pressing the big thing is to support the opposite side of the casting you're pushing against. If you have a socket big enough for the race to fit into that works well. You can always build a socket if you have to, I've done that in the past.

    2021 Modern universal milling machine X6323A, Auction, canadawestauctions.ca

    Nice machine, just wondering why they bought Align feeds for the Y and Z feeds but then cheaped out on the X feed.

    Solitary Bee House

    If you can find it, PBS did a show a few years ago "My Garden of a Thousand Bees" that was really interesting. It was a British show that documented a backyard bee population. We've got a bit of a bare slope out back that is covered in the holes of "Air Bee & Bee" homes.

    Shop Dangerous shop lights

    When I was looking to replace the 8' fluorescents in the garage I looked at the Amazon bundles but fact they were so cheap made me pause. I spent the money, about $45 each, and bought LED's from a local industrial lighting store and sleep well. All the shop tools are either unplugged after use...

    Neat old machine for someone. Looks like a shop setting but used more lately as a horizontal catch all.

    Tool Alligator clips for Fluke 77iii

    Have you tried these guys? They used to be called Queale Electronic. https://www.interiorelectronics.com/ Good thing with a local store is you can take your meter to them and make sure leads fit.
