Ha! This gave me an idea. Just how good is this AI stuff getting? Oh, it’s getting THAT good.

I’m still here from time to time and can’t remember what I had for lunch yesterday. 🙂. I built a tilting stand, but changed to one that holds two block grinders because that was more useful. The receiver mount that you posted looks like a very good solution.

A family heirloom! Congrats. I have an 8” CBN wheel on a 3/4hp cap start block. The wheel is fairly heavy and takes some power to get it going. Maybe 6” wheels wouldn’t need as much hp to get them going. I really like CBN better than traditional wheels. No dressing required and no risk of the...

Time to finish a project that started with storm damage last summer. Spent the winter “negotiating” with insurance to get siding replaced. Finally got approved and the contractors show up next week. Getting two coats of stain on before installation. Two workmates are perfect for this job.

Wolf, Glad you found another Type 5. Just curious if yours has a date stamp/clock in the cast aluminum. Mine does not, btw.

Received my order today! Nice to have a full set of screwdrivers again. Box art is “3 dachshunds doing something adventurous” Here they are in real life thinking about doing something adventurous: Thanks again HJE!

Order number 000050246. My first time placing an order for Epstein Day. Looking forward to a new set of Tekton screwdrivers (hard handles) and the box art. Thanks HJE!

I would read “I” as the ninth letter of the alphabet. So, September 1961.

JarHead, Nice idea! Can it be used in both positions?

Also, Autopts is another member who knows some Wilton history.

Hi Drives and Ex. Things are going well and hope it’s the same on your ends. Looking forward to a less restricted 2021 and the new and improved GJ forum. The Blockmeister is running well. I still find myself going the side wheel the most. However, when the neighborhood lawnmowers get running...

Had my first problem with the MultiTool attachment today. Luckily, it was an easy fix. The spring-loaded tensioner was frozen up. I had to spray in some WD-40 and use a clamp to work it back in forth. It only took a couple of "cycles" and it's back to working like new. I imagine there is an...

I posted this a while back and it's easier to repost than to try to find it. Anyone with access to a 3D printer might have some fun with this:

At one point, I had a 350, which was a “flip jaw” model. Smaller and lighter than a 79-001 with extra functionality.

You might want to look at drill rod sizes. That what my pre-Union 974 and 203 used for jaw pins.
