    Mandrils/Arbors?

    Thanks for the reply! Can you please elaborate more on the application? I don't understand how a adjustable reamer applies to the tool. Thanks again! Paco

    Scotchman FI-51 ironworker and 3phase to 1phase?

    I have the same ironworker and luv it! It's been a work horse over the years and has made me $$. I would recommend building a RPC. I have a 7.5HP RPC that runs nine machines. I do employ two VFD's for custom control but even these are 3ph in/out. One RPC and solve your power dilemma and...

    Mandrils/Arbors?

    I was sorting through some items I recently acquired and found these. The former owner once worked at Hughs aircraft many many moons ago if that helps. So what are these and the application. At the ens of each one is a fractional range stamped in. The same end has a center drill and two...

    Hi Matt. You are spot on on how the tilt feature works. The outboard manual clamps with the wing nuts prevent the fixed side from twisting. The over center latches **** everythinh down preventing chaffing/rattling. Those saw horses are made from conduit and do fold flat. A small section of...

    Hi Mike, Thanks, I would have used a little smaller panels if it where my setup. The use of the ARE shell is also a poor choice for this application but again out of my control.

    More on the installation. Nothing was square on the ARE shell rack, in fact it had almost an inch of taper front to back. Overall the rack functions quite well all things considered. “Tilt test” The Port side tilt function test. Starboard side tilt. Despite the overcast day, I took...

    Built a tilting solar panel rack for a overland build. This is the same rig that got the Thuren Fabrication Suspention upgrade a few months back. The two panels are 270 watt each (540 watt total) and supply power to a 5.2 Kw system. Two 100 Amp hour Battle born batteries are at the heart of the...

    dagofast, I reviewed the the material in the link you provided. I'll need to check on the cost for each specific inserts. I like the multi-point insert and I'm confidant my lathe is ridgid enough to support this. I need to see how cost effective it would be to purchase other wise the other...
