    Wetzler Clamp question

    Those are highly regarded clamps. I have a dozen or so and a couple are missing letters as well. May have been a casting flaw during the productions process, not uncommon from what I have seen.

    Kroil now available at Advance Auto Parts

    I used to order from Kano Labs directly and they stopped shipping directly to consumers a few years ago. Grainger carries this too, but Advance is so much closer to me. I have had a great experience with this stuff and a little goes a long way.

    Clausing Drill Press

    I stand corrected that would be a model 1647 because of the morse taper. The taper is above the drill chuck and serves as a socket for I believe number 2 morse taper drill bits or tooling, including the arbor on the chuck currently installed.
