    Tips/Techniques Gear nerds

    For all you change gear, thread pitch nerds. I like Mathias, not a lot of unnecessary chatter.

    Tool Vice Grips

    If your cheap or old or cheap old Vise Grips or generic equivalent feel kind of crunchy when adjusting, chuck the thumb screw in the lathe and turn the end of it flat. Makes my cheap PA ones and my dads' 60 year old ones feel like new. Of course it doesn't hurt to clean the threads as well but...

    Shop Powerfeed

    The x axis powerfeed died on the mill. Precision Mathews does not handle any parts for it. I've ordered a new board from ebay but the old board still kinda works, just no speed control, it's all or nothing. You can see the fried parts on the board below but I can't read the badly burnt one in...

Works great but the short shaft on the disk holder limits it's usefulness as I can't get the body of the tool into some of the corners. Today I cut a 10 inch length of...

    Tool Oxy propane torch

    Apparently I'm going to need to do a fair bit of sheet metal shrinking in the future on the Datsun. I have an old oxy/acetylene regulator. Will that work if I use oxy and propane? or do I need a different setup.? I got rid of the oxy/ acetylene tanks years ago because I never used it and got...

    Tool CFM

    I have an older Sanborn 60 gallon 500BPC60V single stage compressor. Max tank pressure is 140psi and working pressure is 120-90. I can't find any cfm specs on it anywhere and have had no luck online either. I'm looking to start painting the Datsun this winter and the specs on the gun I plan on...
