    WTB: Double Hex die stock 1"

    I'm looking to buy a Snap-on or Blue Point 1" Double Hex die stock. After I retired, I gave my son-in-law a complete set of taps and dies, but I only had one die stock and I figured he needed it more than me. Now I have to buy one. I looked all over online, but can't seem to find one. Hopefully...

    Helicoil is a proprietary brand, these inserts work much better. I was a diesel mechanic for 43 yers and we relied on the key locking inserts exclusively.

    Well from everything I've read on this post, I would shitcan that VFD and buy one from a company with good tech support. I had problems with my first VFD and when I called tech support they graciously walked me through my dilemma. The company I'm referring to is FactoryMation, and I have...

    You can also go to your local electrical Supply store and order the required cable. 16 or 18 gauge is all you'll need. I've been using 18ga for the remote push buttons and it works just fine.

    Very easy to install. Start to finish for a novice should be about a day, taking into consideration making bracketry, routing wire, determining location and whether or not you use remote switches. Once done you'll say it was a day well spent. As for cost, could go anywhere from around $120.00 to...

    I put vent holes in the top of my enclosure. I also put a hand held digital thermometer on the Teco FM50 after running for over an hour with no appreciable temperature increase (3° rise)
