Good point, hence I've said nothin' except to all you lovely, anonymous internet folk. That way, I can be wrong...in secret

We both have the Milwaukee 3" cut-off tool, hackzalls, jigsaw, hell, he even has a Milwaukee band saw, all immediately available. I'm thinking now it would have worked okay to grab any of those and just freehand it. There was no big tolerance requirement for the cut. I also like the shears...

I should probably just go ahead and admit that the person in question is my father, and, uh...it's my tablesaw. This isn't "General Relationship Discussion," right? I'll just leave it there... I did not get the sense it was particularly dangerous, once I checked the RPM and realized there...

Spoiler alert - it's already happened, but I can't decide how to feel about it. Mostly I'm wondering if it's something I should consider being okay to do in the future. I'm helping someone build a shop. He wanted to rip some steel studs to make long, thin angle stock, which we used to secure a...

Thirded.

Anyone have experience with the rest of their discs? Cut-off, grinding, etc. Might throw in a few more while I'm at it.

R&L called me to confirm delivery for tomorrow. They said curb-side delivery is all they are responsible for. Did you work something out with the driver or haul them into your garage yourself?

It's a situation where I would normally use a pass-through but need a deep socket because two glands stack up onto each other back-to-back. and can't be removed without unthreading/rethreading a tiny collar, which is time consuming.

No, only the finest Taiwanese blue goop for me.

I got an unnatural amount of work done today and haven't eaten any of the office donuts sooooo based on those symptoms, I'm headed to the ER. Thanks all.

Heh. I'm using autoclave high pressure 1/4" coned, threaded tubing and fittings to mount pressure transducers. The tubing is about 7" long to reach down into a recessed area too small for the transducer. It's a testing setup that gets removed and installed on a case-by-case basis and I got tired...

Long story short, I bought a 10" long 5/8" socket and needed to remove the magnetic disc inside the end to gain enough clearance for my intended use. I carelessly grabbed my torch and melted whatever blue goop was holding it in there. I afterwards considered I might have given myself cancer or...
