1. I like this modification but have concerns over the heat generated, particularly if used for a belt grinder. A normal fan ventilated motor gets...

Here is one of the motors mounted on the grinding head for my T&C grinder. See...

interesting way to do this,, FYI , some lathes have a threaded hole in the carridge that lines up with a threaded hole in the tailstock,,,a special...

Great idea. Wish locale of mine had less pirates. Vinyl would not deter them. Need to get a few hundred feet of fence stretched around it first.

Agreed, but still wonder how well it works between big differences of weight and size. It does have me re-thinking a ball transfer table vs....

After looking at Cavidyne,put a rotating nozzle on the gun after cutting it down to just pistol grip size. Pushed the pressure up to about 180 bar (...

Manufacturers use different coatings and recipes to time release of medication; a good reason to take as recommended, not only when, 'with liquid' or...

Agreed, but with only 4 'lines' in that web, I'd be surprised that small size delivers acceptable volume and pressure. Separate H-C valves say the...

For some items that need magnets installed correctly, I have a solid state one with red/green LEDs. Simple even after you've done 100 magnets. I...

Leveling would be fairly easy. Start at machine and work your way back while dragging a piece of sheet metal behind you. If it rolls from where it...

When I worked in semiconductors, we actually had a camera around that big...only in reverse. Hang the huge artwork (rubylith) for a chip over the...

Either way, by 1947, a LOT less aluminum was needed by aircraft industry. As for "down the drain" part, that happens either way. Science fact, beer...

Known commercially as 'Filament Winding'. This process makes vessels in a very wide range of diameter and length; some are containers, others can be...

Interesting too, swivel body casters not plate mounted or ball-transfers. Appears they swivel on each mounting post; and at least one seems to have a...

The issue is not whether or not the square shaft will handle the torque. The issue is that the light interference fit between the lower quill and the...

I wanted to add a bit of weight to the 2x72 grinder cart for stability purposes, and put an old 70 lb. plate off a press brake on the lower shelf. ...

Amazing piece of engineering that looks like it is missing a slip clutch to allow easier crank removal. But well done.

Ok - WHERE can you buy these?
