    Tool Boring Head Disassembly

    https://www.cafr.ebay.ca/itm/174004052529 Does anyone have experience with this boring head? I have an identical one and would like to mount it on something other than an MT2 arbour.

    I hate software that requires continued payments so I splurged on a copy of Alibre during their pre-Christmas sale. Now I have to learn how to use it! Any recommendations for tutorials/ YouTube videos/ whatever that will help me get up to speed?

    Smoke

    Since all of the "experts" say that we'll have a smoke filled summer I've been considering installing a whole house (furnace+A/C attached) electrostatic air cleaner.

    Other Oil fitting question

    A friend is refurbishing a 1950 vintage shaper made in Czechoslovakia that has oil fittings like the one in the photo. The slightly knurled cap has a screwdriver slot and rotates to allow adding oil and then closes to protect from swarf. Any idea what these are called or a source for more (he is...
