Tim- Yes, but no. We (our rep group) were among the first reps to take on the Smith & Wesson safety glass line. All of the other groups that were interviewed for the line supposedly didn't want it, said it would never sell, etc. We loved the line, and had a blast with it. Soon after we were...

Bill- you can get the filter already loaded into any number of Sellstrom welding helmets or separately (filter only) from any Sellstrom retailer (many safety supply distributors), including many welding supply houses. They may or may not have one on the shelf, but can get it for you within days...

No, the perceived dual-stage flicker is not normal, nor acceptable. Most likely, the problem is in the electronics that drive the current going to the plate to excite it. The delay circuit may be hanging, and/or your optical sensors are beginning to fail. This happens a lot when the front cover...

Try going to the same high school as him and growing up all of a mile or two from his childhood home!

I work for Sellstrom! And we still have a basic derivative of these in the line... the B5. Comes in clear or 5IR "welder's helper" shade. I actually like them too, except they are a bit too wide at the temples for me...

Sorry, Dave, just seeing this this morning. I honestly don't know how 'old' that style is, but I doubt they would have any safety ratings. They would never pass the drop tests. Pretty sure they come in reading glasses styles (maybe +1.0 to 3.0), and since I have heard Mike on AP say his are Rx...

Things to consider when choosing a light... A few quick notes on intrinsically safe (IS) lights, regardless of which manufacturer's lights you may look at, that hopefully will help some of you make choices in the future: - IS approvals for most people is completely unnecessary. Safety...

Thanks! :thumbup:

*Full disclosure- I am a factory UK sales rep. Air21: As blkSRT pointed out, UK recently released the Herculite line of the first truly chemical resistant flashlights, tested against some of the most often used industrial hazards seen by maintenance depts. The entire light is made of new...

I've been an industrial safety sales rep for 18+ years, my father more than twice that. We've worked for several safety glass manufacturers over the years. Hard to believe, but that type of style was once considered popular- a real step up from the 'lab greens' direct-vent goggles and dual cup...

^ FWIW to the OP, jmiller's suggestion is what I did when I mounted some in my shop.

gdocktor3: OMC offered a special tool for the task back in the day, but since the sleds haven't been sold new since the late '70s, and they were never "commodity" sleds due to their high pricing (just shy of $2,000), combined with fewer sales outlets than the big names, the original tooling for...

^ Two above replies are correct. Have two Hunter setups here.

^ I thought the exact same thing when I watched it, too. Not having a drip cup holder seemed very "un-Adam" to me...

Just a few made years ago, but have been used over and over since... Back in the '70s and into the mid-'80s or so, Mazda had essentially four different front strut piston shaft indexing profiles, obviously depending on supplier. Aftermarket items only added to this number, so every time I came...

...just some of the hurdles that would have to be sorted and somehow fabbed. The article references an MT#2, so while not ideal, it would be a sufficient start for light hobbyist milling.

Wow- I haven't seen one of those in years! If you didn't find a home for it yet, I'd love to add it to the collection of testers I have here.

Jack makes a good point, although the first thing that came to mind for me is that this setup would be inherently well-suited for light to medium duty milling applications, if a crossfeed table were added to the mix. The primary reason a typical drill press is not good for milling is twofold-...

Looks great so far!

I have to say I am envious of your setup... converting an older commercial or industrial building into shop space and living quarters is something I have wanted to do since high school. There just always seemed to be a major hurdle (or ten) preventing it from happening the handful of times an...
