    The Tiny Tools Thread

    Not the tiniest in the world, but small - The adjustable wrench is a USA Craftsman 4in/100mm. Not sure what the spanner fits. Lumpy How come you didn't star on Star Trek? Because Clint Howard beat me for the part of Balok. www.LumpyMusic.com

    Dewalt Cordelss Drill.

    Bought one this morning. Thanks for the notify! Older style, lower amp/hr batteries not a factor for close to home/shop work. If you needed to take the thing out into the world and not be near a charger, the larger (and heavier) batteries might be worthwhile. And they will plug into this drill...

    LED Shop Light

    Beautiful job machining. Not particularly related, what is the name for those jointed tubes that typically carry air or coolant and where can they be purchased? I want to build some dust blower thingies for my saws and DP. Thanks - Lumpy Did you do a lot of those Emergency Broadcast...

    C Clamps, anyone?

    Do the big monsters look like they ever did have pads? They look sort of like U joint (or similar) presses, which typically don't have pads but mate with various sized bushings and adaptors to fit the appropriate bearing being pressed. They obviously aren't U joint presses of course becaue the...

    STRAIGHT shaft for Drill Press Alignment?

    Printer rods...Good idea that. I just junked an old flatbed scanner. I think it had some straight, chromed or polished rods as well. Lumpy You sang all those car commercials? You got it, Toyota. www.LumpyMusic.com

    Cleaning taps and drill bits

    I thread mine into a piece of soft lumber. The wood fibres clean the metal boogers from the threads but don't harm the threads. Don't have to be too picky about how square and true the hole is or anything like that. Drill a hole smaller than you would for metal tapping, of course. If large...
