I'm looking for a new right angle die grinder that's made in the US. Mainly to use with roloc pads to clean up metalwork. I don't want to spend $400+ on a Dynabrade. I see that St. Louis pneumatic makes one in this country for about $140. Any others worth considering?

I'm sure you'll get plenty of hands-on experience in your internships. Hopefully you'll get the basics of manual machining in class and also as an intern since most CNC kids these days seem to be clueless about it. A whole generation of machinists and tool & die makers are retiring and there...

Uhhhhh....why would you put all this time and effort into a an automotive toolbox and then use plywood?

From what I've found is the ratings put on drawer slides are vague. I see things such as "static and dynamic load", "stationary and vehicle mounted loads". Basically a lot of numbers which are meaningless to an engineer. I think something you're not realizing is a commercial manufacturer...

Soft hammers are used for the same purpose brass drifts are used, so the part doesn't get marred up. Machinists use dead-blow or lead mallets everyday to set their material on their parallels. I imagine somewhere non-ferrous hammers are used for their non-sparking characteristics, but the...

I'd think fine threads would work best but the interface between the bottom of the cap and the rim of the container is far more important. I believe something like a Maglight(Aluminum) has a one-lead fine thread on the battery end with O-ring. Whereas, a beverage bottle(plastic) has a...

And take the 10 minutes to learn something worthwhile that just might save your life one day:headscrat

Guessing from the photos, the main runners look like 1.5 x 1.5 x .125 angle but it's hard to tell. Maybe it's .1875 thick. If either is true this thing is not right. You'd want at least 2.5 x 2.5 x .25 angle or a hell of a lot more posts. The part that would bother me the most is the flat...

I prefer the chain-type wrenches over the band wrenches. The "bite" that the chain provides works way better imo.

A hex head blank would be a pain in the *** to thread because there is no easy way to chuck it in a lathe. So you'd have to put it in a vise, file a chamfer, and then go to town by hand. You could chuck it the opposite way with the head towards the tailstock and cut a lathe-driven thread but...

That works too.....as long as you carry a jack and jointer plane along with the chalk box:lol:.

Cool idea. Looks like a teetering nightmare though.

Now THAT is a car:eyecrazy: Awesome

Lol, I'm thinking it's the rubber goods but I dunno. 4 smells I can't pinpoint. 1. Harbor Freight 2. Army-Navy stores 3. Baskin Robbins 4. New Jersey

I've had a 90320 box with the red crinkled powder coat for a couple years now and I'm quite happy with it. I noticed the gloss red (68784) one in the store today and starting playing with it. Something about the drawers seemed different in that they rocked side-to-side easier and the closed...

I don't know anything about modern vehicles. Are these sine waves or PWM signals? To the OP, you can't go wrong with Fluke:thumbup:. Over the years, depending on what I was measuring, I've found a need for all three types of meters: auto-ranging DMMs, non-auto DMMs and analog VOMs. You truly...

If you move your mouse pointer down to the Mfg #, it says it's the Kennedy brand.

With the $20 off $75 coupon code, this is selling for $99.99 with shipping. It's not listed as a Homak so what's up? http://www.zorotools.com/g/00055401/k-G2817744/

I grew up in a house with the old oak strip flooring nailed to the sub-floor. My parents had a big can of butchers wax they'd apply and then have us move around with rags under our feet. Some spots would get more slippery then others so for years after a waxing, we undoubtedly slipped on our...

What were they using as cutting fluid? KY?
