I'm designing my shouse using CREO. Overkill? Waaaayyyy beyond that. I use CREO most of the day anyway.

You found? There's probably a reason why they were out there to be found.

Speeds and feeds are important when drilling. The most expensive drill bit in the world will drill like **** if this isn't followed. But, with a hand drill or four speed drill press, the choices are pretty limited.

Didn't read through all the posts so maybe this has already been mentioned. Great Neck Tools was purchased by Samuel Jacoff. Would you rather buy tools named Jacoff! I would, just for the name! :ROFLMAO: Maybe Great Neck and Jacoff fit together somehow?

Yikes!!, that must have hurt. Pictures or it didn't happen.

I don't think I'll ever tire of it. I got so carried away with it that I have drill bits with different helix angles and point geometry for different materials. Drills go through material like a hot knife in butter. I need to get a life. :ROFLMAO:

A lifetime ago when I was in trade school, our first project was to sharpen a drill on a pedestal grinder. This had to be completed before moving on to the next project. Having different jobs involved with my tool making career, I have sharpened thousands of drills, maybe hard to believe, but...

Use it. Rotate it in with your other batteries.

They must have used sockets because this polishing rag has recently been discovered. Supposedly dates back to the Middle Ages.

I have that same knife. Like it so much that I just purchased another one.

Yikes! Around here it would add barnyard flavor. Maybe some people are into that?

While I was in trade school I worked at a sawmill. Cottonwood was used for pallets for some customers, some customers wanted nothing to do with it. Incredibly wet when sawing it. The water would run out of the logs like a faucet. Smelled like a cow yard when cutting it probably because most of...

Just curious. Wondering why open end appeared to be the standard over box end?

Suppose so.

.0001 has been referred to as a tenth for my entire 40+ years in the tool making trade.

Edited my post. It was .005", not .0005". Even the super machinists and welders on this forum can't do that. Well, maybe in their dreams they can.

There was someone on this forum a while back that was going to weld; yes, weld only; a 10' fab table together and hold .005" along its entire length. You need to talk to him if you want perfection. If that person is still out there, chime in and let us know how it turned out.

During the summer when humidity is high I do leave it run 24/7. I could probably run it every other day. My dehumidifier has no timer or a control to automatically shut off when a certain level is reached. Probably something that could be added externally. It cycles about every 15 minutes and at...

If the floor gets scuffed, you can probably polish it out with the same cloth that you use on your SnapOn tools.

I got tired of purchasing a new dehumidifier every 4-5 years because of how cheaply they were built. If you would like to buy once/cry once, get yourself one of these. I purchased mine about ten years ago and it still works fine. I'm sure it will outlive me. Cost about $1800 back then. Photo...
