    Tool Chucking Reamers

    I don't have many reamers and what I have are individual chucking reamers purpose purchased for a given job. It's always been my practice to either buy an undersize reamer to fit a standard size pin. For example, if the pin is 0.2500, and the reamer is 0.2485 for a press fit or 0.2515 for a...

    Shop Engine Lift Cylinder

    I went to move a machine yesterday and my engine lift failed me. The hydraulic cylinder seems to have bit the bullet for the second time. So I went shopping just now for a replacement and spotted this...

    Kijiji humour

    We often complain on here about whacky sellers. My wife shared this one about whacky buyers - the other side of the story so to speak.....

    Tool Drill Chuck Repairs

    I recently bought a Golden Goose 3/4in ball bearing chuck and an Albrecht 5/8 keyless chuck on Kijiji. The golden goose came without the key - dummy me forgot to ask. The Albrecht came with scored jaws and a gummy feel. I orded a 5 key set on Amazon. The biggest was too small. Crap. That...

    KBC Tools Sale

    I had to pickup some bandsaw blades at KBC Tools today. I ordered in advance to save the shipping. While I was there, they showed me some backroom deals. The King 7x12 is on sale for 1099. I had a chance to fiddle with it a bit. It is a tiny little thing, but I liked it! I'd have to...

    Tool Which Arbour Press to buy?

    I've decided I need a ratcheting arbour press. But which one to get? If I ran across a good used one on Kijiji or Marketplace, I'd start the truck yesterday. But in 2 years of looking, it hasn't happened. So I'm reaching the point of desperation where I'm even willing to buy a new one. But...

    Carbide shims/anvils

    Quick question: Are all shims, anvils, and screws common for a given insert size regardless of manufacturer or are they specific to each manufacturer's insert and tool holder? I have some Ali tools that I really like so far, but I can't figure out where to get replacement anvils and screws...

    What size lathe do you have?

    In an effort to understand our membership we ask everyone to complete the survey above as well as the other one about mills that will be posted shortly. Yes, there is lots of other equipment and maybe they should be surveyed too but let's start with these two. You may select as many options...

    Tool Mill tool hanger

    I saw this on Pinterest and thought it was a cool idea. I need something similar for the Allen wrenches and the draw bar wrench. This could easily be 3D printed. Because the load is trivial, so could the T-Nut.
