Hello CaminoKlng71, sorry to hear that. I was in the same situation as you, in my house they broke in now 3 times. First you will be fed up but then you will get mean. To your first question, this is probably the most difficult one, i had the same problem, hysteric wife which is guided by...

Hello Belly Up Fish, if you want the absolutely best precision you have to bolt the milling machine and lathe to a concrete machine bed. This decreases the vibrations of the machine and the less your machines vibrate, the nicer and more precise is the cut. I can see this every time on my small...

Hi Lombie, had the same problem with a new beech bucher block on my workbench. Got it from ebay very cheap and was so happy because the workbench top now simply looked awesome, almost like furniture.

Hello Torquewrench, a friend of mine does nickle plating of gunparts for several gunsmiths. When i first saw his work i thought the parts were chrome plated. I remember that he had a DC transformator, two wires, a tank with a special liquid and this is it. You can get these parts cheaply, the...

Only have keyless chucks in my alzmetall drill presses and use them with success for drilling into steel up to 0,5 in. I use the Rohm or Albrecht type keyless chucks but in my opinion the original ones made by those two companies are too expensive. Look for cheaper copies for exemple made in...
