I've got the Johnny Jolter and it works great as a "last chance" plunger. You **** water into it and then let 'er rip. No burst wax seals yet. https://johnnyjolter.com/

Not sure on thickness yet... less than 1/8". Not cutting them in the form. I'm gonna have a router table setup right next to the former.

Another question. The parts are an 18" diameter circle and a 20x6" rectangle. Will a larger OD cutter work faster or should I keep it small?

Smart. You're talking about a press fit?

Guys, thanks for all the help. I have a lot of new info to research. This place is awesome. I'm smarter now then when I woke up this morning.

Hi All Can anybody give me a name or tell me where I can buy a bit like this? I'm working on a new product for my company and one of the components is vac formed. I need to have a flange around the edge, just like in the photo below, of about 3/8" (these are screenshots from a youtube video)...

Irwin 11" locking C-clamp. $20 minus $10 rebate comes out under 10 bucks. https://www.menards.com/main/tools/hand-tools/clamps-vises/irwin-reg-11-c-clamp-with-swivel-pads/20/p-1444436152582.htm

I've got 2 of these. The kickstand allows it to stand vertically and horizontally. The build quality is amazing. Apparently Mac rebrands some of their stuff. https://pro-iroda.com/products/butane-torches/ct-610kb/

Deal ruined by Santa.

I have a bench power supply like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DJ1FDXV/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Only goes up to 10 amps so it's not gonna start a car, but I've used it to troubleshoot trailer lights.

I have a 6x12 Aluminum trailer. Previously had a 5x10 steel one but was starting to see rust and traded it in for aluminum. The only thing that's steel on the new one is the axle and leaf springs -- otherwise the frame is all aluminum. First thing I did was paint the walls with exterior paint...

I'll bite: reaching for a downward facing nut, pushing upwards with the non-locking flex head. It wants to flop back.

Sure Shot aluminum version. I have mine filled with denatured alcohol as brake cleaner. Made here in Milwaukee too.

I bought the 3/8" non-flex and the mechanism feels almost the same as my Snap On Dual 80. Super smooth, almost muted sound. No hollow clackety sound like a Tekton. If I wasn't already set for ratchets I'd probably buy more.
