That site reminded me of casters mounted to OSC's, using the locking pockets in each lower corner. It's a bayonet fitting, many trailers have the male cam-lock. Before internet was so smart, it was an epic trial and error quest creating an operative search phrase, but I have the drawing and...

If cutting holes in the side acceptable; Salem Vents. An obround hole is cut these protrude through, silicone back side and front under flange, with short sheet metal or my preference self-tapping backed up with same thread nut. Silicone under screw face, a washer is even better. Prices all over...

A second opinion usually confirms a first; medically speaking. The lead pipe aspect though, makes more sense.

Taiwan fully capable producing items per specifications, just like majority of Asian rim. And therefore huge impetus why CCP wants to stake claim there. Every item purchased finances those malevolent actions; every.

'That street' is about 1/2 the issue. Government neglected pleas of many US manufacturers, pushing legislation through to conduct offshoring. I have the 2000 article from "Machine Tool Bluebook", written by concerned manufacturers, predictions of what they expected to occur. Despite those...

Immediate feature I see, vs the HFT kit of larger bits, they are proportioned to a proper handle for tiny fasteners. The quantity is reasonably priced, especially a prominent US brand name.

Pardon me? Except brisket? Go to next American Royal. Granted, competitors from nationwide, but it's not held in Maui, Austin, or Bellflower. They come here. Absolute best I ever had? Not KC, close but no cigar. Norm Calvin, his grandfather was Teddy Roosevelt's head BBQ pit chef, in possession...

Before MALCO, I'd run it by Wilde, right next door in Kansas. Their available processes have sufficient capability. Volume? Not my call. If we're talking same item, it isn't the knurl. The coarse deep Dardelet or breech type thread, in a small diameter part, while preserving straight pin hole...

I **** Awardee ✋, I'm usually within 8 miles. The **** is, en-route elsewhere 4 hours before they open. Their website is a good pacifier. Will call is alive and well. Beware approaching their west wall, an intimidating knight in black guards the path ** . (lol, movie reference) Walking less...

Yes, more correctly one of the few. The same few [us] morons who store them properly; in holes, upright, by type & bit size. As unrepentant visitor to KCMO [because HJE, lol], I await worthy substitutes for what were best of all clamping pliers, from Nebraska. The leading price-point...

But what music could it play? Aside from the perforations, that is.

One simple solution for just about any saw hand fed, bandsaws in particular, is a Vee block. Stop off material before approaching blade, so there is clearance for the cut part to drop. The Vee block, or any spacer lets gravity create clearance as the part looses supporting mass and begins to...

Heck. Darn it all. Fiddlesticks. Did all that posting, forgot main dang thing. OP reminded me of listing equipment. A word document is OK, Excel way better. Running it speech to text bumps it again. Using a strict naming protocol......... Point is, that's portable, editable. Try walking through...

You and any reader are Welcome; just rewards of efforts doing my best. Now the same openings size poses a detail, they appear angled differently, perhaps adding [or subtracting] 5 to 7 degrees. In a small opening, that's inadequate for a square head with 90 degree faces. I believe possibly...

Snap-On? Bonney? Returning with plunder in a TOTE, ie carried by hand? I'm doing this so wrong.... Btw, Size 11D Redwing Insulated Pecos Steel Toe for scale.
